ARE GETTING A HEAD START ON HOW THEY ATTACK FIRES. >> THE STRUCTURE FIRE IS IN THE ROOM ABOVE THE GARAGE, FLAMES SHOWING. MIKE: YESTERDAY DOVER FIREFIGHTERS RUSHED TO THIS SCENE. THEY KNEW BEFORE EVEN GETTING THERE HOW THEY WOULD FIGHT THE FLAMES. >> AT A FIRE SCENE, THE FIRST MINUTE REALLY SETS THE STAGE FOR THE NEXT HOUR. MIKE: DEPUTY FIRE CHIEF PAUL HAAS AND HIS CREWS USE IPADS THE MOMENT THEY LEAVE THE STATIO THROUGH THE APP, PUBLIC EYE, THEY INSTANTLY ACCESS INFORMATION ON WHERE THEY’RE GOING, LIKE THE DISTANCE TO THE CLOSEST HYDRANT. >> IT’S IN RED, WHICH MEANS THAT WE CAN’T LAY A SUPPLY LINE FROM THIS HYDRANT ALL THE WAY BECAUSE IT’S TOO FAR AWAY. MIKE: AND THROUGH THE TAX ASSESSOR THEY CAN GET A VISUAL OF THE HOME OR BUILDING. >> WE NEVER WOULD HAVE THIS VI IN OUR MINDS AHEAD OF TIME. MIKE: BRINGING ALL THAT INFO TO THE FRONT SEAT OF THE FIRE TRUCK HELPS THEM DO THEIR JOBS BETTER. >> IT JUST LETS YOU PRE-PLAN. IT LETS YOU DEVELOP THAT PRE-INCIDENT PLAN OF WHAT AM I GONNA DO WHEN I GET THERE, WHERE AM I GOING TO POSITION MY APPARATUS, AM I GOING TO LAY A SUPPLY LINE FROM THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY OR GO RIGHT TO THE HOUSE? MIKE: EACH VEHICLE AND AMBULANCE ARE EQUIPPED WITH THE IPADS, ALMOST 20 IN TOTAL. THEY’VE BEEN USING THE TECHNOLOGY FOR TWO YEARS, BUT RECENTLY HAVE BEEN USING THEM MORE AS DETAILS GET ADDED TO THE APP. HAAS SAYS IT DOESN’T GET THEM TO A SCENE FASTER, BUT IT DOES GIVE THEM AN EDGE. >> YOU CAN LITERALLY ENVISION WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE PULLING UP TO BEFORE YOU EVEN GET THERE. >> DOVER FIREFIGHTERS ALSO USING THE TABLETS ON EMS CALLS AND THEY SAY AS THE TECHNOLOGY EVOLVES, THEY WILL TOO.
