Technology advances rapidly. As soon as we learn how to use one thing, it feels like everything changes. From our smartphones, which are really just miniature computers in our pockets, to our vehicle consoles with advanced touchscreens, there is always something new to learn. 

Some of this may seem unnecessary; however, some technological advancements improve efficiency and can even be used to save lives. 

For fire departments, your job is to rescue people from their most precarious situations. Station SmartBoards can help improve situational awareness for your entire department. Here is what you need to know about Station SmartBoard software.

Benefits of Station SmartBoards:

Our Station SmartBoards combine a daily information dashboard with multi-mode visual and auditory station alarm monitors. There are many ways in which our SmartBoards can help your department. 

1) Station SmartBoards Work Seamlessly with the Full StreetWise® Suite of Software 

The data collected by our software suite means your smartboard will display an unparalleled amount of important information. It's past time for a true, feature-rich, cloud-based mobile solution designed exclusively for fire and EMS apparatus. 

Our SmartBoards provide a snapshot of the department's activity, as well as announcements, schedules, and a map that displays recent calls, live unit locations, and even current weather conditions.

2) Station SmartBoards Improve Situational Awareness

The most important part of all the data SmartBoards display is raising situational awareness for everyone in your department. When in alert mode, your smartboard will show all kinds of important information, including:

• With new calls, you'll get an audible and visual alert.
• CAD supplied incident details.
• New incident alert map with station route
• A supplementary incident detail map depicts hydrants and the surrounding area, as well as a list of apparatus or personal responders and their current condition.
• Turnout timer with a countdown
• For enhanced accuracy, use either CAD-supplied lat/lon or a dual-source location.
• Lookup tables for latitude and longitude that can be customized 

3) Station SmartBoards Save Lives

Ultimately, Station SmartBoards can help save lives. They raise vital situational awareness, which is always beneficial to the safety of your firefighters. Dispatchers and leaders get a broad, wide view of the response to every call, so everyone has the support they need to respond effectively.
