Conditions for Normative Decision Making at the Fire Ground
  We discuss the changes in an attitude to decision making at the fire ground.
The changes are driven by the recent technological shift. The emerging new
approaches in sensing and data processing (under common umbrella of
Cyber-Physical Systems) allow for leveling off the gap, between humans and
machines, in perception of the fire ground. Furthermore, results from
descriptive decision theory question the rationality of human choices. This
creates the need for searching and testing new approaches for decision making
during emergency. We propose the framework that addresses this need. The
primary feature of the framework are possibilities for incorporation of
normative and prescriptive approaches to decision making. The framework also
allows for comparison of the performance of decisions, between human and
machine.
