GIS Mapping Interface

GIS (Geographic Information System) Mapping produces district maps displaying streets, intersections, incident locations, hydrant/water sources, as well as responding apparatus. The GIS mapping modules links with the Property Preplan and Computer Aided Dispatching Modules. You can map out the precise location of fire calls as well as click on a region of the map and find out more about it. When you zoom in to a certain level the location of Hydrants appear. From here you can gain access to the specifications of local hydrants.

The Mapping Module utilizes common mapping formats. Alpine works closely with a map vendor which specialize in creating maps for fire protection districts. Please call for more information.

Alpine is currently working to integrate a Global Positioning System into the mapping system. This would enable dispatchers to monitor the precise location of apparatus while they respond to calls. It will also aid in dispatching apparatus as dispatchers can more visibly see the relationships between location of incident and location of available apparatus.

Alpine is also working to embed site-plan objects into the maps. This would enable the user to simply click on attributes of a property to obtain siteplans immediately.
