Commissioners approve Honeywell station-alerting interface to speed fire response notifications
Summary
Randall County approved implementation of a Honeywell fire station alerting interface, intended to relay dispatch messages to station screens and a mobile app. County staff said the system should reduce dispatch burden and improve response times; the contract passed 5-0.
County staff described a Honeywell station-alerting interface that will let the dispatch center send call details, maps and messages directly to screens and message boards in stations and to a mobile app for crews. Staff said the interface will reduce manual radio steps and streamline the flow of information to firefighters.
"So it's just an interface to make the the radio system and dispatch talk to the station," the fire chief said, adding it will "take a step out of the the dispatch's side." Commissioners approved the agreement and confirmed it will be funded through the budget; approval passed unanimously, 5-0.
