Information System Use by Fire and Rescue Department

Hi everyone,

There still a lot of thing we as a commoner didn't know about our brave and unsung heroes, the fire fighters. One of the thing that we know about them during the interview is how well develop and they are in term of integrating latest and advance technologies to carry out their duties smoothly. Some of the system is specially made for fire department only and not for other enforcement authorities.

One of the information system that they use is Incident Information System (IIS), this system is used to store data about any incident that occur within fire department job scope. They used this system to make report regarding an incident, some of the data is able to be publicly disclose and some of it remain as a secret and only few people is given authority to view the full report.

Other than that, they used e-log system that connect nationwide fire department to share about their staff data, the station gears and equipment, their logistics and stocks. This information enable them to monitor all equipment that are necessary for their duties and if there are any shortage of equipment of damage equipment, the higher authority can take action on it. Moreover, this system also help any fire station to borrow any equipment from neighboring station in order to carry their tasks effectively and efficiently.

Futhermore, Government Integrated Radio Network (GIRN) is used as communication system that able to connect them through radio frequency. In an emergency, communication is vital because miscommunication can cause fatal and unwanted incident.

Hence, there actually a lot more complicated task that have to carried by any fire fighters out there other that we commonly know, extinguished fire. Because of that, we should pay more respect to our heroes that risk their live out there to us feel safe and sleep peacefully at night.


Thank You.
