Monroe, NC (April 26, 2022) – 3M Scott Fire & Safety is excited to announce a collaboration with industry-leading incident management providers, Adashi Systems LLC and Systems Definition, Inc. (SDI), to leverage critical SCBA telemetry data via an application programming interface (API) with 3M™ Scott™ SEMS II Wireless SCBA Telemetry System, giving incident commanders a more complete common operating picture on the fireground.
The solutions provided by these companies are now empowered to provide incident command with air, PASS and EVAC data while establishing and maintaining command. Additional alert notifications – high-flow or no-flow condition at full-alarm PASS – provide incident command with enhanced situational intelligence to guide critical decision making. The telemetry data is further improved by giving incident command the ability to electronically call for a personnel accountability report (ePAR).
“Adashi’s C&C software integration with the 3M™ Scott™ Monitor Telemetry Software Solution gives incident commanders unprecedented data and bi-directional communication tools between each firefighter and the Adashi C&C software to make informed life-saving decisions to ensure firefighter safety and the most effective use of personnel across every phase of a fire incident,” said Sanjay Kalasa, director and project lead, Adashi Systems LLC.
“Proper air management is critical to firefighter safety,” stated John Alston, Fire Chief, New Haven Fire Department. “Real-time view of the air status of all the firefighters inside a building, along with situational awareness provided by Adashi C&C, will help the IC make good decisions. The combined Adashi and 3M Scott solution will definitely help save firefighter lives.”
Frank Briese, president of SDI, added, “I am excited and pleased to see the integration of the 3M™ Scott™ Monitor Telemetry Software Solution with our APAA software. Combined with radio-centric accountability, the integration of these two systems will help to enhance fireground safety and accountability operations.”
“The Fairfield Fire Department was delighted to participate in product development trials interfacing the 3M Scott SCBA data and the SDI incident management software,” noted Assistant Chief Schuyler Sherwood. “This product separates the 3M Scott SCBA from competitive offerings—there is no match to the value the telemetry data now provides.” Chief Sherwood further stated, “It is my strong belief that integrating the SCBA telemetry into the
SDI accountability software takes the product from a nice-to-have to a must-have for many fire departments. Combining SEMS II with incident management/accountability, and the radio monitoring that SDI offers, provides an immeasurable value to all incident command staff using the product.”
“We’re excited to introduce this dynamic collaboration at the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC), said Longin Kloc, global product marketer, firefighter solutions. “I believe the integration of the SCBA telemetry into these leading incident management solutions represents a significant improvement in fireground operations and will lead to improved firefighter safety.”
