Furthermore, the present invention has also designed a self-confirm telephone and a mistake prevention design to avoid faulty report of a fire. 
     In addition, said device for fire-department operation command center  3  is the core of the system, whose functions includes: 
     (1) When a disaster alarm signal is transferred in through a public communication line, said device  3  will automatically detects the identification code and immediately retrieve and display the subscriber&#39;s fundamental data such as name, phone number, and address. 
     (2) The policemen on duty need only push a button and said device  3  will automatically call back said system of a preset phone number to confirm the actual situation. 
     (3) At the time the policeman on duty pushed the button, said device  3  will automatically incorporate with geography information system  38  to show an electronic map of target area. 
     (4) By means of said geography information system  38 , it is possible for the system to show information associated with subscribers such as neighboring fire hydrant (water resource), nearby hospital, unit and quantity of ambulance, best way to access, traffic control routing, road block position, option of mobile commanding site position, and condition of underground piping, etc. 
     (5) After the disaster is confirmed, said device will rapidly command fire, engine  52 , ambulance  51 , and backup force  53  to the scene through a police operation communication device. 
     (6) Mobil vehicle such as fire engine  52 , ambulance  51 , and backup force  53  may rapidly get to the scene by making use of satellite-location self-navigation device. 
     (7) Backup force and fire engine from outside district can also get to the scene and find water resource through said satellite-location self-navigation device. 
     (8) Said operation command/control center  3  can use a satellite-location commanding system to know the position of all vehicles involving the rescue and directly command the operation. 
     (9) People in the utility facilities such as gas company, electricity company, petroleum company, and telecommunication company may corporate to reduce the damage to a minimum scale. 
     (10) Said system has stored data associated with all residencies and regulated business within the district or community. 
     (11) Said satellite-location navigation command/control device used in present system can handle at least 2000 specific target simultaneously.
