Over 400 deployments per year, a service area that is inhabited by around 150,000 people, and home to the Linz-Land district control center when needed: The Traun Fire Department, near the Upper Austrian capital of Linz, faces various challenges, especially also those involving hazardous materials. The EMEREC operations management system from Rosenbauer plays a decisive role when it comes to mastering these.
In 2015, Traun Fire Department relocated to its new fire station. At the same time, one of the most up-to-date district warning centers in Upper Austria was set up in order to meet the constantly growing demands. The smooth forwarding of information is the most important aspect of such an operations center. To ensure this, the leadership of Traun Fire Department decided, after an extensive test phase, to use the complete EMEREC product range.
Software in support of operational tactics
The alarm visualization via the EMEREC Alarm Monitor, the smartphone-based solution of EMEREC Mobile and the operational management software EMEREC Pilot are all used in combination during deployments. As a district fire department for hazardous substances, EMEREC plays an important role in this context. The software support not only saves a great deal of time in an emergency, but the operational tactics and any necessary medical care can also be adapted to the respective dangers.
