Fishkill, New York – Fisch Internet Solutions has reached over 1,000 users with its ROVER system. The system is a joint project with Spotted Dog Technologies located in Monroe, CT. ROVER or Real-time Operations Volunteer Emergency Response system is a web-based fire personnel communications system. The system provides critical information to both volunteer and paid departments that includes who is responding, how far away they are, and where the incident is located. “FIS's text system is highly interactive and customizable. It has truly become an asset for communicating emergency and non-emergency messages to our firefighters,” Jason Caulfield, Assistant Chief of New Hamburg Fire District, said. ROVER allows members to receive an emergency call to their cell phone and/or e-mail as an additional means of being alerted than by their radio pagers. Members then have the ability to use a mobile application to signal the system that they are responding to either the station or the scene with their live estimated time of arrival. “The system is very sophisticated in that it uses mobile location services to estimate a responder’s arrival time while maintaining the responder’s privacy. We believe that personal privacy is very important and our system does not transmit or store responder location information,” said Jason Fisch, Owner and President of Fisch Internet Solutions. Fisch has also served as a firefighter for 11 years. One or more large screen monitors are placed in the firehouse, typically on the apparatus floor. Call information is displayed on the screen with the call location pinpointed on a map. This map can be pre-populated with critical information such as hydrants, alternative water sources and drafting sites. As members check into the system with the mobile app, their name, live estimated time of arrival, qualification and other pertinent information is also displayed on the screen. This allows members coming into the station to see the type of call, the location of the call, the location of water sources, who is en route and the expected arrival time of those who are en route. The system provides a great deal of information that in the past was just guessed. In addition the system has membership and group notifications, scheduling, membership availability, and many other features. What really sets this product apart is that it has a set of unique features that are coupled with a customizable user interface. Each department has the availability of having the system and even the incident text messages customized to their department’s needs. "We built this system based on real world scenarios. As a fire officer and firefighter, I use the system every day to help me make better, data based, decisions," said Geoffrey Giordano, one of the co-founders of Spotted Dog Technologies. Giordano has over 26 years of experience as a volunteer firefighter. The software was developed by Trumbull Software Associates, Inc doing business as Spotted Dog Technologies, a software company owned and operated by firefighters. Fisch Internet Solutions, an IT company that is staffed by both paid and volunteer firefighters, came on board with the product about a year ago. Together, both companies continue to develop and support the product with actual members of the fire service. This allows the product to support the ever evolving mission of firefighters and other first responders.

Who is going? Friday March 12th (Chiefs and Commissioners), 13th, and 14th at Orange County Fairgrounds, Middletown, NY. More Information: Middletown Fire Expo Fisch Internet Solutions will be there with a booth and will be making a special announcement!

Lets just say Beacon has a M/A Tanker from Pleasant Valley due to no hydrants and had Roosevelt with a Utility and their Air/Light truck providing support to cut up downed trees... Numerous trees down, power lines down, and partial/ full building collapses. What a mess with 2 + feet of snow and it is still snowing...

Last night the city fire department showed up with around 50 current and past volunteers as well as active and retired paid firefighters. The meeting was so packed that the entire chamber was filled to standing room only and into the hall way. With that said the meeting started with the city signing an official binding proclamation stating that they will be discontinuing looking into disbanding Engine One and laying off any career staff for budget year 2010. However they are leaving on the table shutting down Station 1 and relocating everything down to Station 2. So it looks like the company and career staff are saved, however they still may be shutting down the building. The building is the oldest in the city, 1890. It houses Engine 1 and protects the Mountainside District of the city.

As a paid member of the City of Beacon Firefighters and one of the four that will be on the chopping block, I would like to thank everyone for their support. The city is in the process of discussing closing Fire Station 1, dis-banning Engine 1 which is stationed their, and laying off 4 paid firefighters. The city at this point has brought this up at a budget hearing with the department chief, however there is no official movement at this time either way. The city will be announcing their official intentions shortly at which time we will announce how our department will handle the situation. Will try to keep everyone informed on what is going on... In the interim please keep us in your thoughts... THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT!
