 Azure
Wireless Introduces the World's
First Fully Automatic Accountability System.
One of
the most pressing challenges facing
firefighters today is achieving accurate and
complete personnel accountability. Azure Wireless has announced
SafeScene, the world's first fully automatic accountability
system for first responders. SafeScene enhances first responder
safety and incident management through the innovative use
of RFID technology, replacing the manual means of accountability
currently used in fireground operations.
SafeScene
automatically detects the presence of
fire, law enforcement and other emergency personnel at an
incident scene and logs first responder and equipment identities
as available for incident command and resource management
in a Microsoft Windows-compatible application, from which
resources are assigned to tasks and monitored through the
use of personnel accountability (PAR) timers.
"SafeScene
represents the application of technology in operations where
the manual collection of physical identification tags has
been the standard of achieving accountability for many years.
SafeScene will improve incident management, response and first
responder safety as a result of the automatic detection of
first responders, error-proofing the process and freeing time
for first responder and command personnel to respond to critical
incidents," said John Polakowski, president of Azure
Wireless.

|
• |

all personnel automatically as they arrive on-scene; no
manual action required |
|
