Firefighting is a dangerous business, even on slow days. Firefighters and other emergency responders must always have proper situational awareness on every call from when the dispatch is received until all units are safely back at the station.

Properly utilizing relevant information is crucial to a firefighter's ability to respond to emergencies effectively and safely. StreetWise® provides software packages to emergency responders that have been proven effective in assisting firefighters in their jobs.

Firefighters and paramedics work each day to keep our communities safe. Every time they respond to a call, whether a wildfire raging in a remote mountain range, an apartment complex fire, or a vehicle accident, they can immediately place themselves in a dangerous situation.

The year is close to being over and all across this country firefighters are busy closing out the year and are beginning to plan for the new one. From the remote wildland firefighter station in the middle of national forests to the rural volunteer district to the busy inner city firehouse, firefighters are busy.

Firefighters and paramedics work each day to keep our communities safe. Every time they respond to a call, whether it be a wildfire raging in a remote mountain range, an apartment complex fire, or a vehicle accident, they can immediately place themselves in a dangerous situation.

Some of the situations are very evident, like rush hour traffic on a major interstate near the scene of a wreck or an approaching wildfire that threatens to overtake the fire engine. However, there are many more threats everywhere that are at times not easily discernible, such as a rattlesnake near the fireline, a hornet's nest, a downed electric pole, or hazardous chemicals smoldering in a back room.

Firefighters work and play hard, but their commitment to family and friends is high. Although they work throughout the year and, at times, over the holidays, they also work very hard to take time away from work to spend time with their families and loved ones. However, this can be difficult, especially during the holidays.

At StreetWise®, we appreciate the sacrifice that firefighters make and work to develop technology that can make their jobs easier and safer. We understand the importance of a special gift during Christmas.
