How Google Earth ate Nanaimo

[kid disco]

Cool article in Time about some weird town called Nanaimo and their adoption of Google Earth and Google Maps...

When they hear the telltale sirens of a fire truck bursting out of the station in Nanaimo, the locals don't need to look out of the window or tune in to newscasts to find out where the action is. Instead, they can simply log on to Google Maps or Google Earth and track the firefighters in real time as they tear down the streets of this Vancouver Island port community. The Google-enabling of Nanaimo's fire service, launched just weeks ago, is the latest venture in a British Columbia town that has been dubbed the capital of Google Earth.

Man, what a concept. I live in Ramona where the horrendous fires in San Diego started last year and three years before that, wonder if they use this technology.
