GPS to Aid in Dispatch
Cool idea from the fire service in New Zealand (from Stuff.co.nz via FireFightingNews.com).
The Fire Service plans to trial GPS units in some of its 800 fire engines in January, allowing it to track their location by computer....
The GPS data from appliances will be sent to the Fire Service's dispatch centre, which should speed up response times by letting it quickly identify which vehicle is closest to an incident.
Do we do anything like this in the U.S.? If so, drop me a note.
