Fire/Rescue Accountability Systems
Members of professional and volunteer Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Medical Services respond to a myriad of critical incidents on a daily basis.  These incidents range in size and severity, but are often in a mutual aid or interagency environment with other emergency responders and law enforcement professionals.  Ensuring the safety and security of first responders is the most important job of an agency, but often falls short of technological developments that may help save lives.

Supercom’s IRMS line of solutions can drastically modernize accountability, communications, and identification systems in the fire/rescue sector.  Our RFID and Smart Card solutions can be carried by personnel in turnout/bunker gear, RFID keytags, wristbands, or on cards and be read in vehicles, on tripods, handheld units, or within the scene.  This raises the level of accountability far beyond barcodes, engine rings, name tags, or other currently used technologies for tracking personnel within a scene.

Our solutions are also an excellent resource for EMS crews who can read first responder smart cards on board an ambulance to gain critical information on the cardholder’s allergies, medical conditions, or emergency notification instantly; thus aiding in their treatment. 

Our Dynagates and S-DSMS units also give the incident commander the ability to coordinate a multi-unit or interagency scene and set up a perimeter in any environment. 

Our solutions are made up of the following to meet the needs of your agency:

Smart-Disaster Site Management Systems
operate with a robust 900 MHz line of sight communications and battery powered tripod checkpoints to assure operation in any condition, regardless of the lack of infrastructure.
The Dynagate provides battery-powered smart-card access control units with or without biometric verification; which works off-line or using an on-board Cisco Router to communicate wirelessly to our Smart Gate software.

Handheld readers
can verify smart cards, 2D barcodes (Driver’s Licenses), and fingerprints in a small, lightweight reader.

Pure-RF Radio Frequency Identification Tags
are small, motion activated ID tags that can track movements within areas for total, real-time accountability.

Communications Interoperability Bridges
give an incident commander the ability to link radio and telephonic communications devices from any organization together, to ensure a constant flow of communication; in a small, portable solution.

Mobile Credentialing and Enrollment Stations
give users the ability to issue smart-card credentials and database updates on-scene in a mobile environment, to ensure the security and accountability of a site and all personnel responding therein.

Smart Cards
give organizations the ability to identify personnel in a completely secure way, which not only curbs counterfeiting and impersonation, but also allows important data on the cardholder to be stored on the card itself.  Thus allowing rapid access of security, medical, and notification of information for first responders and incident commanders.

Smart Gate and Magna databases
are secure database applications that tie these solutions into the command center software so that the scene can be monitored, secured, and controlled on any Windows-based computer.
