  1. Sensors & Firefighters Environmental & Physiological

  2. Incident Priorities LIFE is first priority on all incidents

  3. Life Safety sensor data must be our priority. We need to prevent firefighter injuries and fatalities.

  4. Environmental Sensors U.S. Firefighter Disorientation Study 1979 - 2001 William R. Mora, Captain - San Antonio Fire Department San Antonio, Texas - July 2003

  5. Physiological SensorsPracticality - First consideration

  6. Haz Mat Incidents Methodical Approach Time to set-up sensors Physiological Environmental

  7. Challenge Integrate environmental and physiological sensors into existing equipment. Get data to Incident Commander for intervention.

  8. Possibilities • Adapt existing sensors for firefighter use. • Adapt existing data transmitters for firefighters. • Create alert based data monitoring for Incident Commanders.
