When firefighters respond to an incident, whether it’s for a vehicle accident, wildfire or structure fire, communication is essential. Knowing personnel ETA, where they are located, and their status, allows commanders in charge to make informed decisions while keeping those in harm's way as safe as possible. Mitigating risk and increasing operational awareness is at the core of the Florian platform. With the Florian mobile app, first responders can easily see and join incidents with the press of a button. Commanders using the Florian for Windows app will be able to see incoming mobile personnel, assign them to teams and send them to specific places within the incident. Mobile users can see assignment and destination updates in real time, streamlining the incident command workflow. Quickly getting a visual representation of a situation is critical when managing a dynamic incident. Florian mobile users can use secure communication & video sharing capabilities to distribute critical information to the entire team in real-time. The Florian mobile app continually monitors data, transmitting location information to the command center, even when the app is at rest. The data captured during an incident is made available during playback after the incident is closed, providing precision replay capabilities for post-incident review. Command and accountability have never been this streamlined for fire departments around the country. Florian by 3AM Innovations is the next generation of command and accountability for fire and first response teams around the world.
