Sharing emergency incident information with Fire Battalion Chiefs and Incident Commanders is vital to support rapid decisions about resource assignment.

Prior methods relied on radio communications and crude mobile data displays to communicate unit status.

Sitstat provide near real time display of incident location and incident detail along with unit status and location. This information is essential to command resources, assure regional area coverage, and evaluate site specific tactical actions.

Deployed in HTML5, the application provides access to 300 fire personnel in the field on tablet and smart phones as well as in stations.
