Reducing incident response time is a constant battle for fire departments across the globe. Improving the speed, efficiency and safety of teams, equipment and critical infrastructure in order to save lives and property threatened by fire—from first alert to final dispatch and acknowledgment – has never been more important. Included in this important measure is ‘turn out’ – the time from dispatcher alert to truck roll – a
process most impacted by fire station alerting practices.
This paper outlines eight critical success factors that can be used to determine where Fire Station Alerting Systems (FSAS) deliver the most value to your fire department; to help you evaluate and select options; and implement and scale projects across multiple fire stations. These insights are drawn from PURVIS’ more than 35 years of deployment of technology and services solutions in public safety and defense organizations
nationwide.
