Fireground (Conventional Only)
The portable Fireground Communications System is designed
for deployment at an incident scene. It consists of five central
components:
•
Your APX portable radios
•
Incident Management Software
•
Command Terminal
•
Radio Frequency (RF) Modem
•
Portable Repeater (Optional)
These components provide on-scene and inbuilding radio
coverage, and enhanced personnel accountability and
monitoring.
The radio helps to indicate your presence on the scene if it is in
the range of the Incident Commander’s command terminal.
Each Fireground Communication System radio automatically
reports your radio’s ID on the commander’s mobile command
terminal. Your name, riding position and sector are all can be
configured to be seen at the Commander’s command terminal.
If you have a critical situation, you can press the Emergency
button which activates an alarm on the Incident Management
Software at the command terminal.
