The Fully Automated Fire House – The Fire Chief’s Dream
The 911 page is delivered to the Firehouse’s main control board and immediately and simultaneously the following happens:
| > |
Control Unit – The firehouse alerting and control unit (FAC) is the base of the system. Turns on or off any electrical device in the firehouse: lights, alarms, PA amplifiers, and shut-down of kitchen stove. The FAC also sends a confirmation e-mail back to the dispatcher that the message was received. |
| > |
General Alarm – Wake up alarm goes off and is programmable to defer to PA system. |
| > |
Interior and Exterior Lights – Bedrooms, hallways, bathrooms, even closets can be programmed to go on for fire personnel and can be activated separately for the ambulance crew. Appropriate outer lighting goes on. |
| > |
Digital Sign – Visual alerting with a rolling 16 or 24 character message. |
| > |
Traffic Signal Control – Alerts traffic for quick apparatus exit. |
| > |
PA Amplifier – The PA unit fires up so the dispatcher is able to speak over the local radio network channel. |
| > |
Rip and Run Printer – The Okidata track feed printer spits out directions in full message and then scrolls out to the perforation so fire fighters can grab info on the run. |
| > |
Volunteer Force – Volunteers are alerted by pager with read out instructions. The same dependable American Messaging pager system relied on by First Responders worldwide displays messages within seconds of 911 alert. |
| > |
Mobile Data – Onboard Raven Alert Unit Displays Instructions/Directions – Dash mounted, new Raven Alert Units display up-to-the-minute instructions as the fire truck or ambulance races to the scene. Wall mounted Raven units in the fire house keep staff alerted to developments. Digital display also is activated. |
| > |
Wall Mounted Raven Alert – Digital read out displays message. Light flashes. Audio recites the digital message using text to speech conversion. |
| > |
Stove – The stove turns off automatically. We all know what happens in a hurry – fire crews typically do not want to fight one fire and then come back to another. |
| > |
Raven Logger – This unit attacheds to a computer maintaining a record of all alerts including time, cap code, and alert message. |
