Wildland (rural) fire fighting is a physically demanding and hazardous occupation. An observational study was conducted to explore the use of new technologies for the field study of fire fighters at wildfires and to understand the work pressures of wildland fire fighting. The research was carried out with two fire fighters at real fires wearing microphones, miniature video cameras, heart rate monitors and GPS units to record their actions and location at wildfire events. The fire fighters were exposed to high physiological workloads (heart rates of up to 180 beats per minute) and walked considerable distances at the fires. Results from this study have been used in presentations to fire fighters and non-operational fire personnel to understand the pressures fire fighters are under and how others complete the fire fighting tasks.
野外（农村）灭火是一项对体力要求很高且危险的职业。进行了一项观察性研究，以探索在野火现场研究消防员时新技术的使用情况，并了解野外灭火的工作压力。该研究是在两名参与实际灭火的消防员身上进行的，他们佩戴着麦克风、微型摄像机、心率监测器和全球定位系统装置，以记录他们在野火事件中的行动和位置。消防员承受着很高的生理工作量（心率高达每分钟180次），并且在火灾现场行走了相当长的距离。这项研究的结果已在向消防员和非作战消防人员的报告中使用，以了解消防员所面临的压力以及其他人是如何完成灭火任务的。
