Fire brigade information terminal FIT- The information system for complex buildings!
The fire brigade information terminal FIT is used to display security technology related building states for task forces of the fire briagde and technical personnel of the operator. Information about existing safety equipment and about possible activities for rescue and evacuation are made available to the squad leader of assisting agency via visualisation software. The FIT provides a centralized view of existing information or sources (fire brigade plan, fire brigade routing card, log book, occupancy plan, video surveillance, etc.) and links these optional via the serial connection to the fire alarm control panel and to the network of the operator.
Because of that current and relevant information for the operation could be made available. The FIT is an additional decision support with regard to security technological activities and provides a current level of knowledge, lowers costs by additional monitoring (eg preliminary reconnaissance of the operator) and uses existing structures, for example video surveillance or LAN. The FIT has no effect on BMZ or other equipment and systems. Preferably the FIT is placed at the main point of attack of the fire brigade in the FIBS or in the head quater of the operator.
The building information is based on the volume of the object and will be specified in consultation of the operator and the fire brigade based on a fire protection concept. Setting up the system is done with a PC program. Existing building informationen are stored, nonexistent deactivated. Querying the information is combined with appropriate sources of information (review plans / diagrams, text or photos), and dynamic imports are made possible through the network. Programming, commissioning and revision are realized by the operator or the maintenance company.
Possible building information:
- institutions of the fire related control
- extinguishing systems located in the object
- fire brigade plan
- fire brigade routing cards
- evacuation plan
- contingency / emergency plans
- existing voice alarm systems
- general building information
- contact person building and technology
- optional video systems / personell and
patient lists
- further customer specific information
Examples for occupancy plan and video surveillance
