Smart Firefighting

Hello Smart Firefighting Community!

Welcome to another episode of covering real world innovations via interviews with fire service and technology industry experts that empower YOU to develop your very own Smart Firefighting strategy!

Firefighters do their part in ensuring our safety, so it's time we do our part and ensure theirs...

In this episode:

- How have fire service training tactics evolved with modern day technology?

- What training challenges exist with current restrictions?

- Why is it critical to leverage technology to enable “sets & reps”?

Let's hear more about immersive training environments to prepare those who serve from the man who sells the training himself Evan Wing. Given Evan has been Middleton Fire District's Fire Lieutenant for almost a decade, he not only understands but feels the consequences of the lack of training technologies for firefighters. As the VP of Sales North America at Flaim Systems, Evan has a strong desire to utilize new technologies in order to better prepare the fire service to ensure safety in the field.
