At the end of July West Midlands Fire Service (WMFS) completed one of its final end-user validation exercises of Unblur’s incident command software as a part of a six-month proof of concept.
This multi-pump exercise was held at Canley Fire Station and aimed to expose firefighters and incident commanders to IRIS Core and Tactics and enhanced situational awareness, information sharing and its digital real-time command support capabilities. The exercise scenario was set around a complex incident involving multiple vehicles and casualties, including a lorry transporting chemicals and a damaged high-voltage power line.
The exercise was successfully completed and enabled end users to use IRIS tactics to gather and share initial risk critical hazards and casualty location and status in real time.
As the exercise escalated, IRIS Core was used to deliver command support and provide onsite and remote briefing, video streaming and GPS tracking of assets and personnel.
This event was one of the final proof of concept validation exercises alongside IRIS Core and Tactics being deployed operationally within the Coventry Command area.
After successfully integrating, deploying and supporting the WMFS ICT team in implementing the solution within WMFS, it is hoped IRIS Core will be rolled out service-wide to WMFS’s 38 fire stations and 1,164 firefighters in September 2023.
