View recording

Driving your car safely requires real-time performance data. How much gas is in your tank? How fast are you going? Is the engine going to overheat? Running your fire department effectively is easier with a real-time view of your performance. With the Fire Operations Analytics/Accreditation Module (FOAM) from FirstWatch you know how Suppression, EMS, Hazmat, Technical Rescue, and Risk Response are performing. This allows your leadership team to focus on what matters, provide reports to your stakeholders, and meet the standards of Accreditation.

In this interactive session, you’ll learn from the team that invented FOAM. You’ll see the suite of 10 Operational Performance reports, internal management tools, and new ways to analyze/display your data. Presented by FirstWatch Product Developer and former Fire Chief, Chris Carlson, Ph.D.
