5 <br /> 1 Orange Rural Fire Department Chief Jeff Cabe made the following PowerPoint <br /> 2 presentation: <br /> 3 <br /> 4 PageTrack Overview <br /> 5 Features responders use and like <br /> 6 <br /> 7 PageTrack Statistics <br /> 8 • Used by over 500 Fire responders with 10 departments in Orange County. <br /> 9 • In development for 5 years. <br /> 10 • The User Interface was designed by responder feedback that comes from field use. <br /> 11 • Has many features not found on the SunGuard/OSSI system. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Unique Features <br /> 14 • There are several features in PageTrack that the CAD vender solutions do not have. <br /> 15 • Other features may exist in the CAD vendor solutions, but the user interface is difficult to <br /> 16 use in responding apparatus. Trucks bounce around a lot more than a desk does. <br /> 17 • Feedback from fire, EMS, and rescue responders drives the look and feel of PageTrack. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 o The main use is seeing a map of where the incident and responders are in real-time <br /> 20 o Once on scene, units can see where all apparatus are located and see pre-plans for <br /> 21 buildings <br /> 22 o PageTrack is not limited to just apparatus. It engages volunteers by sending <br /> 23 incident page-outs to their smart phones. <br /> 24 o This also serves as a back-up dispatch system for when the radio system is down. <br /> 25 o PageTrack can also page-out calls when the CAD system or county email is down. <br /> 26 o PageTrack is not limited to just apparatus. It engages volunteers by sending <br /> 27 incident page-outs to their smart phones. <br /> 28 o This also serves as a back-up dispatch system for when the radio system is down. <br /> 29 o PageTrack can also page-out calls when the CAD system or county email is down. <br /> 30 o Real-Time weather information for woods fires <br /> 31 o Show detours on the map, along with detour routes. At 2 in the morning, you might <br /> 32 not remember that a bridge was being replaced <br /> 33 o A Bulletin Board feature to keep everyone informed <br /> 34 o A "Big Picture" view showing everything going on in your department <br /> 35 o Hazardous Materials tools to help responders identify "Hot Zones" and exposure <br /> 36 zones to protect themselves and the public. <br /> 37 o There are tools to help visualize statistics about your department so you can improve <br /> 38 your performance. <br /> 39 o This incident history map shows where your calls are. <br /> 40 o There is a tool for visualizing how good your response times are into various areas. <br /> 41 o This can help with station location decisions or other changes that could improve <br /> 42 response time. <br /> 43 o Scatter plots of response times help you see time of day based strengths and <br /> 44 weaknesses. <br /> 45 o Bad cell coverage areas can be determined, and they can also be displayed to <br /> 46 responders on their maps so they know where they will have communications <br /> 47 problems. <br /> 48 o Closest and critical information is displayed, speeding up decisions. <br /> 49 o Responders can see mutual aid partners in different counties dispatched from <br /> 50 different CAD systems. <br />
