Solutions
Start with the problem, not the product category
Technology is sold by category. Departments buy their way out of a specific operational problem. This is organized the way the problem actually arrives.
What problem are you trying to solve?
Browse by technology area
Each area collects the problems it addresses, the technology approaches available, and what to ask before buying.
Connected fireground
Knowing where crews are and what conditions are doing, while it still matters.
UAS and robotics
Aerial and ground platforms for size-up, search and untenable spaces.
Wildfire technology
Detection, mapping, and keeping track of crews across large incidents.
Incident command
Accountability boards, tactical worksheets and decision support that survive contact.
Hazmat response
Remote reconnaissance, detection, and modeling before anyone goes in.
Data and AI
Records, reporting, analytics, and the honest limits of AI in an operational setting.
EMS technology
Patient care records, telemetry, and the handoff to the receiving hospital.
Every problem in the catalogue
12 problems, 20 technology approaches. This list grows as departments tell us what they are working on.
- We cannot account for crews on the fire floor
- The command post has no read on interior conditions
- We have no overhead view during initial size-up
- We are sending people into spaces we cannot see into
- We find out about wildland starts too late
- We lose track of crews across large incidents
- Our PAR process falls apart on large incidents
- Our pre-plans are out of date and nobody opens them
- We commit people to characterise a release
- NFIRS and NERIS reporting eats a shift
- We collect data nobody ever looks at
- ePCR takes too long and the hospital never sees it
