Trucks bounce around a lot more than a desk does. 17 • Feedback from fire, EMS, and rescue responders drives the look and feel of PageTrack. 18 19 o The main use is seeing a map of where the incident and responders are in real-time 20 o Once on scene, units can see where all apparatus are located and see pre-plans for 21 buildings 22 o PageTrack is not limited to just apparatus.
