The Power of StreetWise Meets the Power of Emergency Reporting

StreetWise

StreetWise CADlink®, the nation’s first cloud-based MDT software, will be unveiling its new strategic partnership with Emergency Reporting ® records management software at the 2016 Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) in Indianapolis. StreetWise now integrates live with Emergency Reporting®, making life easier for fire crews and dramatically improving the accuracy of response time analysis.

  • Incident Data. StreetWise automatically creates a new incident report in Emergency Reporting® before the crews have even returned to the fire station. The incident location, nature, date and dispatch time auto-fill into the NFRIS report, ready for completion.
  • Unit Status Timestamps. Whenever a responder taps a status button in their StreetWise CADlink® response software on their Android, iPad, or Pierce® Command Zone™ device, the precise time is transferred directly into the appropriate unit status time in Emergency Reporting’s NFIRS incident report unit section. Now, units will be able to reliably record their status times without relying on busy dispatchers, expensive CAD exports, or crowded radio channels.
  • Incident Benchmarks. When an incident commander taps an incident benchmark button in StreetWise, such as “Situation Controlled” or “Patient Contact Made”, the information and precise timestamp is automatically entered into the narrative section of the Emergency Reporting® NFIRS report. Key incident benchmarks provide more precise incident reporting.
  • Tactical Actions. Waypoints placed during an incident in StreetWise CADlink® are frequently used to identify key tactical actions during an incident. Now, these waypoints and other key incident-specific actions are transferred directly into the narrative section of the Emergency Reporting® NFIRS report, capturing the precise time, action, and even latitude and longitude for more thorough and precise documentation of major incidents.

Even more integration is planned in the future, enhancing the product offerings of both companies and continuing to make the job easier for firefighters.
