 Navigation Tool Quickens Firefighters' Ability to Locate Source of Fire
To improve firefighters' and other emergency responders' ability to quickly locate and extinguish fires, reduce property losses and save lives, Honeywell offers ONYX FirstVision. This navigational tool better enables Incident Commanders to focus on critical information necessary for making effective and well-informed decisions, speeding scene size-up and execution of response operations.
Developed from extensive research and interviews with senior level firefighters, ONYX FirstVision graphically displays critical information on the origin and spread of a fire, building floor plans with the location of all fire alarm devices, water supplies, evacuation routes, access routes, fire barriers, gas, power and HVAC shutoffs as well as chemical and structural hazards in the building.
Traditionally a building's fire alarm control panel was the primary source of information for firefighters arriving on the scene. These fire alarm control panels display activated alarms as a list in alphanumeric location code with limited descriptions. But with ONYX FirstVision connected to the fire alarm control panels, crucial information is easy to interpret with a spatial, graphical depiction of the location and sequence of detector activation. Unlike traditional graphic annunicators, ONYX FirstVision is interactive, and its easy-to-use PC-based touch screen requires no special training.
