Powerpoint TemplatesPage 2
FIRE-QRVS is a two-part system that provides volunteer and on-call fire fighters with information about who is responding to an emergency situation and when they will arrive. It is a rapid response verification system designed by a fire fighter to complement existing dispatch systems. With rapid response verification information, fire fighters are able to make better-informed decisions about the emergency situation. The two parts of the FIREQ-RVS system are:
1.) software that is downloaded and installed on any Windows 7 or newer computer (with an uninterrupted Internet connection), ideally located at the fire department
2.) a smart phone app downloaded by each active firefighter (iPhone®, Android™ Windows Phone 8®, and BlackBerry®)
WHAT IS FIREQ-RVS?
Powerpoint TemplatesPage 3
THE FIRE-QRVS APPThe FIREQ-RVS app allows firefighters to use their smartphones to access real-time information about who is responding to an incident as well as their estimated time of arrival. The app provides additional functionality when the first member arrives on scene. The "On Scene" feature can be used to send a Google Maps link with the exact location of the incident to responding members.

HOW DOES IT WORK
Firefighters respond to a page using a smart phone app.
A Responders Queue is created that can be accessed by all active members, either at the fire hall or on a smart phone.
Additionally, duty officers receive a text message for each responding member.

FEATURESResponse VerificationThe FIREQ-RVS system provides real-time information to responding firefighters during and after an incident. FIREQ-RVS lets responders know who is coming as well as their estimated time of arrival. From the scene, firefighters can also send detailed information about incident location. Critical information empowers fire fighters to make crucial decisions more quickly and with confidence.

FIREQ Text Dispatch
FIREQ-RVS can provide fire departments with beneficial redundancy to the emergency paging system by adding text messages as part of the dispatch process.
FIREQ-RVS offers text dispatch solutions for multiple situations that include:• Departments paged through CAD
Dispatch Centers • Departments paged through non-CAD
Dispatch Centers• Departments that perform their own
dispatch functions

Departments paged through CAD Dispatch Centers
For fire departments being paged through a CAD system (from a Dispatch Center), FIREQ-RVS can provide departments with the ability to receive text messages directly from the Dispatch Center.
It is not necessary to install any other software. Dispatchers only need to send a SINGLE email message to a unique email address created for every FIREQ department. The message is then passed through to the departmental FIREQ system to every member on the roster.
The FIREQ-RVS solution eliminates the requirement for Dispatch Centers to maintain lists of individual responders. A single email from the CAD system to FIREQ-RVS can quickly generate text messages to all responders in a department.

Departments paged through Non-CAD Dispatch Centers
Stand alone dispatch - The FIREQ stand-alone Dispatch Module (which runs on a Windows PC), departments can quickly transmit text messages to ALL members of a department.

• Departments that perform their own dispatch functions

With the FIREQ smartphone app “MESSAGING” option, any firefighter also has the ability to send a quick text message to ALL members.
Use of the FIREQ app provides the added benefit of sending a dispatch text message from anywhere. Fire fighters do not need to be at the fire station.

GPS & Mapping TechnologiesState-of-the-art GPS and mapping technologies ensure that firefighters receive accurate and up-to-date information about incident location and the ETA of fellow responding firefighters.
AvailabilityThe FIREQ-RVS system also allows firefighters to share times when they may not be available, providing duty officers and commanders with the information needed to ensure proper staff levels.
On Scene & Stand DownThe first responder on scene can activate an ON SCENE feature to send a message to the FIREQ-RVS system that will display an exact location.
FIREQ-RVS also provides responders with a STAND DOWN option when additional personnel are not required.

Multi-Level Closed Loop CommunicationsThe FIREQ-RVS system connects all firefighters via the FIREQ-RVS app. Using their smartphone app, firefighters can access such information who is responding, their estimated time of arrival as well as intended destination (fire hall or scene). From the app, firefighters can text message directly to the duty officer or the entire membership with a single message.
Incident Follow-up and ReportingFIREQ-RVS can be used to create incident reports at the conclusion of an emergency.
Additionally, FIREQ-RVS can also be used to track inventory, training and certifications.
The reporting features of FIREQ-RVS simplifies the tracking of fire fighter activity and attendance, needed for end of year reporting, member benefits and accountability.
