IAmResponding.com


     
We have the new IAmResponding online program up and running in the fire station. There is a screen mounted in the engine bay for use with the program. Responders will be able to call a 1-800 number and status themselves as responding to the STATION, TO SCENE, SCENE NOGEAR, SCENE FP, or call back and cancel their status. All of this is statused instantly on screen with your name, rank/position, and call time for those at the station to see. We hope this will be a useful tool to help increase staffing and efficiency.
      The website also allows members to status themselves available or unavailable for calls. This will help us know what officers or drivers are around or who may be just around to help. This is a free trial for a limited time and we are hoping to get a true feel for how it may help us in this span of time. IT IS DEPENDENT ON YOUR PARTICIPATION so please use it any chance you can.
     If you have any questions please email IAmResponding@vigilanthose.com or ask Lt. Karolenko
