	Fire-control system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Submarines were also equipped with fire control computers for the same reasons, but their problem was even more pronounced; in a typical "shot", the torpedo would take several minutes to reach its target.
		Once the pilot maneuvers the aircraft so that the target and pipper are superimposed, he or she fires the weapon, or on some aircraft the weapon will fire automatically at this point, in order to overcome the reaction delay of the pilot.
		Once an engagement has begun, it is also possible for a fire control radar to track incoming fire, trace back the trajectories to their source, and produce the coordinates of an enemy unwise enough to fire ballistic rounds.

	Fire control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fire control consists of depriving a fire of fuel, oxygen or heat.
		Some fires can be controlled or limited by venting these gases to the outside either horizontally through windows and doors or vertically through existing openings or by cutting holes in the structures roof.
		This can aggravate a fire if it introduces new oxygen, or permits a draft past fuel or structure, so it should be attempted only by veteran fire fighters.

		The latest idea in the control of broadside batteries is that the officer in charge of the broadside, or of a certain group of guns in the broadside, not only completely controls the fire of these guns, but is himself the spotter for them also.

		The solution is to leave the hatch closed and fight the fire either with a fixed extinguisher in the engine compartment or with a portable extinguisher discharged through a fire port (a small opening into the engine compartment), which is why dry chemical extinguishers of any class are inappropriate.

	Control of the Red Imported Fire Ant
		Because fire ants cannot be eradicated over wide areas, the goals of insecticide treatment are to eliminate fire ants in areas where the risk to people is high and to reduce infestations to acceptable levels.
		Best control usually results in spring and fall when temperatures are between 70 and 85 F. Control with drench treatments is more difficult to achieve during very hot summer months because the ants remain deep within their mounds and are hard to reach with liquid insecticides.
		Ultimately, long-term control of fire ants indoors can be achieved only by locating and treating their mound or mounds, preferably with an insecticide drench.

		Fire is a natural part of forest ecology and controlled fire is a useful tool for foresters.
		Controlled burning stimulats the germination of some highly desirable forest trees, thus renewing the forest.
		George D. Kessler, professor of forestry, and extension forester at Clemson University notes that control burning reduces fuels, improves wildlife habitat, controls competing vegetation, improves forage for grazing, improves accessibility, helps control tree disease, and perpetuates fire dependent species.

		For new process areas, involving enclosed modules with a potential methane buildup, gas detection systems and controls are being used to shutdown and blowdown processes and to turn on high rate ventilation systems rather than closing up the space and trying to inert it with an extinguishing agent.
		Halon 1301 use in the rest of the oil and gas and process industries is somewhat limited to the protection of electronics in control rooms as the process areas are not enclosed as they are in Alaska and the gas accumulation problem is not present.

		Fire ants require water to survive and are often found near creeks, run-off ditches, streams, rivers, ponds, lakes and other bodies of water.

		Fire ants can travel long distances when newly mated queens land on cars, trucks or trains, or when winged forms are carried by the wind.

		On the other hand, the native fire ant species have their own set of natural enemies and cannot successfully compete with the imported species.
		By combining all of the fire ant's natural enemies with other ants, researchers believe that native ants may be able to suppress imported fire ant populations by competing for nesting sites and food and water, preying on mated queen ants trying to establish new colonies, or by directly invading and eliminating small fire ant colonies.
