Drone technology is finding its way into myriad new applications that could only be imagined a decade ago.
Learning from industrial firefighters, we can improve on how we use our gas detectors and potentially avert an explosion before it happens.
Avon Protection's Mi-TIC E high-resolution thermal imaging camera is lightweight and affordable as the entry model in the company's thermal camera lineup.
Establishing an unmanned aircraft program requires a fire agency to navigate regulatory and training hurdles to improve operational efficiency.
Machine ensures consistent chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
DJI's Matrice 200 Series aerial drones use high-performance motors paired with 17-inch propellers to ensure stable flight in strong winds.
Phillips 66 used their corporate fire school as an opportunity to test a new electronic accountability system designed to track emergency responders taking advantage of medical surveillance technology already in place.
An emergency responder is assigned to handle the radiological monitors at a hazmat incident. Several different brands of monitors are in use. Even those made by same manufacturer may be different models with modified operating instructions.
The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) Board has approved the organization’s first investment opportunities to expand and enhance FirstNet, the nationwide public safety broadband network.
This year FirstNet, the first responder cellular communications network, is coming online after nearly 15 years of development. This will mean a major change in the way some law enforcement agencies and officers conduct their communications.
Drones or UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) have been around flying around for more than 100 years. More than 95% of these cool flying machines are flow by hobbyists. But in the last two years the drone market has grown from 42,000 units to 420,000 units, according to the FAA.
From emergency communication systems to IP networks, Johnson Controls is making the future of fire and life safety smarter and faster.
Nearly one year after a landmark $30 billion merger with Tyco, many of the most highly regarded names in American fire protection – Simplex, SimplexGrinnell, Ansul, Chemguard and Williams Fire & Hazard Control – are in the process of being combined into a single multi-industrial giant, Johnson Controls.
Unmanned aerial vehicles are a cutting-edge tool, when you need a helpful resource to size-up a situation.
Remember when a personal video camera was something hauled around in a small suitcase. Today, that camera is compressed into a pocket-size device that also makes phones calls, looks up news articles and uses GPS to instantly pinpoint your location on the globe.
