Command & Control Demo

Unblur & Diputación de Zaragoza Firefighters

On November 27, 2018, Diputación de Zaragoza Firefighters together with unblur decided to do a command and control demo held at the La Almunia training camp (Zaragoza). Incident Commanders tested IRIS Core platform in its full capacity, creating an Command and Control Room in the Training Center of La Almunia and carrying out interventions (different types of emergencies in the Training Field of the Almunia) to verify its suitability and application in the management and decision making of the different nature of incidents. In the Command and Control Room, the Superior Controls of Fire Services have been present as observers in order to learn management with real time information but also how the different interventions in the field of practice are monitored. Participants & Guests There have been 45 Spanish firefighters of which 35, participated actively and passively in the command and control of the simulation. In addition, researchers from the University of Zaragoza and a doctor from 061 were invited to join the event. Fire Services: Fraga Park, Villanova, Huesca, Diputación de Madrid, Álava, Teruel, Zaragoza and Vigo.

Objectives

The objective of this day is to discover how IRIS Core can help in the decision-making process during the management and coordination of an incident and to see new possible needs that may arise. We have based on the following more specific objectives: 1. Visualization of the incident in real time (geolocation of resources). 2. Add information during the intervention. 3. Decision making in IRIS Core.
