  1. CAL FIRE / Riverside CountyFire Department Technology Briefing FIRESCOPE Board of Directors MeetingJanuary 9, 2008

  2. Introduction • We are not unique • Many Departments and Agencies are moving forward with similar technology based projects: • GIS based CAD applications • Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) • Mobile Computing Platforms • Mobile Mapping Applications

  3. Our Driving Forces • Customer demand for service improvement • Deployment of technology • Willingness to take risks (1999-2000) • CAL FIRE statewide CAD replacement project • GIS based CAD (Northrop-Grumman-Altaris CAD) • Same GIS drives the Mobile Data Computing Project (MDC) • 2003 Fire Siege • Jack Thorpe

  4. Our Driving Forces (continued) • Technological Advancements • Computer Hardware • Capabilities • Cost Reduction • Software Development • Focused on Public Safety • ESRI • Communication Network Development • Commercial Cellular and Data • Service Coverage Improvements • Bandwidth capabilities • Highly Attractive Cost

  5. Mobile Data Computing (MDC) ProjectPanasonic Tough Book -18/19

  6. MDC Project Goals • Improve firefighter Safety, Situational Awareness • and Operational Effectiveness • GIS Based Software Applications (GST and MAPTECH) • Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) • Resource Tracking and Recording (GST Tracker) • Decrease “get away and response times” to emergencies • CAL FIRE-Altaris CAD to GST Mapper Interface • Automated vehicle routingto incidents (GST Mapper) • Provides the same information as the Rip-N-Run

  7. MDC Project Goals • Reduce the dependency on paper produces for emergency response plans and guides • Provide a wide variety of GIS layers (50+) • Including high quality aerial imagery (1 ft. color) • Provide enhanced emergency incident management tools • GST Mapper with AVL and GIS layers • MAPTECH, Terrain Navigator Pro. 8.1 software application • The ability to develop and share information in a digital environment

  8. MDC Project Goals • Communications Network • Currently: • Secure and fully controlled cellular network • Sprint / Nextel Data Network • Future: • Riverside County – • Public Safety Enterprise Communication Project (PSEC) Radio Network – 700, 800 MHz, 4.9 GHz • Data Use Only • Mid-2009
