System Manages
Assets of Multiple Fire Stations
Zetron’s Fire Station Alerting System allows a single communication center to
efficiently respond to emergencies by managing the assets of multiple fire
stations.
The Model 26 status/control panel provides centralized control of remote fire
stations. Up to 240 user-defined buttons with LED status indicators allow the
operator to select targeted fire stations, send alerts, and control auxiliary
equipment. Changes in the status of personnel and vehicles are reflected on
the M6 and M26 status indicators. Visual indications help the operator select
which stations should respond, as well as determine which vehicles are
available, which have already been dispatched, which are out of service, etc.
Up to fifteen Model 26 panels can provide multiple positions with full
parallel operations. Typically, the Model 26 is connected in parallel with the
dispatcher’s console such that fire dispatch appears as a channel on that
console.
Depending upon the needs and desires of the local fire station, the Model 6
may automatically open bay doors, control traffic lights, etc.
As a Fire Station Alerting System, the Model 6/26 alerts multiple fire
stations from the control center. The control center equipment consists of the
Model 26 Fire Station Dispatcher, presenting the system controls as a control
panel or as an interface to a Computer Aided Dispatch system. Each fire
station is equipped with a Model 6 Station Transponder linked to the control
center over private wire or radio link.
