2018 Virginia Fire + Rescue Conference

Digital Technology and Data in the Fire Service (Room 3C)

1:00 PM - 2:15 PM

Tracks: Public Safety Technology

Digital technology and big data are transforming the fire service. Rugged mobile computers, tablets, high speed wireless connections, robotics, geo-location and predictive analysis are presenting a powerful disruption to business as usual for public safety. How fire and EMS responders work, communicate, collaborate and maintain situational awareness is under constant evolution. Join us as we discuss these issues in an open forum, share lessons learned and seek answers in this changing technology landscape. This facilitated program will allow attendees to discuss and share their unique perspectives, challenges and solutions. All attendees will be encouraged to engage, question and share.
