Chief Mobile is has redundant alerting using a combination of Tone Alerting & CAD Alerting. Allows you to receive & map incidents from your 911 dispatch center quickly. A push notification will alert you when a new dispatch occurs and forward you to the incident information and map. With Tone Alert, Chief Mobile works like your Fire Pager providing two sources for alerting. You can also receive messages that are sent out by other personnel. Get notified of open shifts, training, and other announcements instantly. The latest version allows you to reply to messages. Allows your personnel to update their status (i.e. Responding Station 1, Available, etc.). Their ETA is tracked while responding. Allows companies that use Chief Scheduling to view the company schedule by day and their own schedule. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
