Turn Your Cell Phone Into A Pager
FireTextResponse (FTR) is an emergency alert notification and response system app that is fully autonomous and requires no dispatch center interfacing.
With help from Verizon, Dell, Microsoft, and more, FTR has been developed as the only cellular emergency notification system built to detect radio paging.
With FireTextResponse, when dispatch tones out your department, you’ll be notified within seconds, right to your cell phone.
U.S. Patent Number: 8,600,338
How Does It Work?
Dispatch to Department
When dispatch tones out to your department, text alerts and/or mobile app notifications (via Android or iPhone) are sent to personnel, literally, within seconds.
Personnel Response Status
Personnel reply their status (en-route to station, en-route to scene, delayed, or not available) with a simple text or tap of a button in the app via their mobile phone.
Station & Others Are Notified
All responses from personnel are time-stamped and displayed on a flat-screen at the station, so responding personnel can know who else is responding and where.
Receive Dispatch Audio
Responders receive the actual dispatch page audio straight to their cell phone, so they know exactly what to do, where to go, and what the situation at hand is.
Dispatch Replay at Station
At the station, the dispatch page audio is looped from the flat-screen so all responding personnel can hear the dispatch again.
Respond to Scene
With FireTextReponse, all responding crew members now know who’s where and when others will be there in order to respond to the scene appropriately.
