Saving precious time in an emergency
So the emergency crews can quickly find out what sort of operation they are facing, where the scene of the operation is, and how to get there as quickly as possible. A map is displayed for easy navigation on the EMEREC ALARM MONITOR, on which both the route as well as the scene are highlighted.
Emmen's fire department vehicles are also equipped with three tablets, including for operational planning. Eight vehicles will be equipped with the EMEREC MOBILE APP and corresponding offline-navigation.
When a vehicle responds, its position is displayed in real-time on the EMEREC ALARM MONITOR. So the colleagues back at the fire station know in an instant whether vehicles have already arrived on scene or not.
The EMEREC ALARM MONITOR in the fire station can also be updated with all data from the operation, which is sent by EMEREC. So colleagues who follow can better prepare themselves for the operation. This advance information provides a significant time advantage for the crews.
For those responsible in Emmen's fire department, one of the main reasons for the procurement of the EMEREC ALARM MONITOR was that, in an emergency, the crews can gather all important data in a shorter period of time and at a glance. Proper visualization of the alarm data saves time and provides essential information displayed clearly.
