how does tech affect incident commandThere are many things you must get right when responding to an emergency call. An effective response begins long before someone needs help. Pre-incident planning prepares your department for the situations to which they will respond. You need as much information as possible about every building, street, and fire hydrant location. 

Your firefighters need key details about the nature of the emergency and the people involved. 

Incident commanders must establish a plan, goals, and the strategy for ensuring the best possible outcomes. Everyone needs to be on the same page to ensure the highest level of situational awareness possible. 

If you want to improve the way in which information is delivered during a call, your department needs a reliable fire and EMS communication app. 

Here are a few options that can vastly improve your communication. 

StreetWise® CADlink Tablet MDT/MDC

Have you ever felt your response is hindered by mobile software that is clearly designed for police officers? 

StreetWise® CADlink is a solution designed for firefighters and EMS. Our CADlink Tablet MDT/MDC is full-featured, cloud-based, and easy to use. 

It combines fire incident pre-planning and emergency response into a single platform, enabling the information you collect on our NFPA 1620 pre-plan wizard to be available at the push of a button during a response. Making all this available on a tablet optimizes mobility, allowing your department to move away from clunky, slow laptops. 

StreetWise® Responder for Smartphones 

StreetWise® Responder doesn't try to be something it's not. It is not designed to be a full-fledged MDT solution; rather, it concentrates on the capabilities that individual on-call responders want and need. 

With the most user-friendly interface in the industry, it allows all responders to see who is coming to the station or en route to the call using one-touch status buttons and location tracking (when enabled) displays where your resources are in real-time.

  • Decreasing the time it takes to develop and distribute a plan of action

  • Raising life-saving situational awareness 
  • Reducing response time
  • Saving lives and protecting property
