First Response

First ResponseOne of the most important responsibilities of government is providing for the safety and security of its citizens. In this effort, law enforcement agencies struggle daily to match scarce resources with an ever-increasing volume of calls for service. During these events, law enforcement managers need the right information at the right time to deploy resources, implement plans (tactical, emergency, evacuation, etc.), establish medical aid, and manage events as they unfold. Fire and rescue personnel need to act fast. It's the very nature of their job.

The Seattle Fire Dept. was able to cut triage time in a mass casualty incident to 10 seconds during a drill at the University of Washington campus. Intermec solutions gave them the ability to wirelessly access and update records at the incident scene, enhancing their ability to make informed decisions in emergency and inspection situations.

By providing personnel with instant, wireless access to occupancy data, on-duty rosters, certifications, and hydrant locations as well as incident and EMS information, Intermec helps fire and rescue workers feel safe and efficient. Intermec’s system was a key component in the team's rescue efforts at the U.S. Pentagon on 11 September 2001, and continues to help ensure its rapid disaster response capabilities.
