  1. ONYX FirstVision Interactive Firefighter’s Display John Brady National Account Manager, Fire Services

  2. Agenda • Technology Defined • Evolution • Benefits • Event Command Challenges • Applications • Codes and Approvals • Sample Screens

  3. Technology Defined • Revolutionary navigation tool for firefighters and emergency responders • Interactive interface for firefighters • Tool for assessment • A touch screen PC that displays critical information

  4. Evolution – Development • Began Development in 2003 • Need addressed: more information available on fire ground for a fast and accurate response to help reduce loss of property and life • Firefighter’s View of the World • Extensive focus groups by Honeywell Labs • Match fire commander’s model • Visual, No text

  5. Evolution - Development • Time Sequencing & Animation • Enhance perception of speed, direction, pattern of smoke • Intuitive Visual Codes and Symbols • Mimic physical appearance & action • Minimal Interaction • Maximum info, single screen • Touch screen PC, big buttons • 100% Intuitive - Initial assessment, 30-60 seconds • No training required for firefighters

  6. Evolution - Development Finding and Fighting Fire More Effectively • Wayfinding Technology • Where you are • Best route to destination • Recognizing the destination • Finding your way out

  7. Evolution - Present • Enhancements just released (January 2007): • Increased Flexibility • Additional initiating device types • Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory, etc. • Building Information and Contact List • Custom icons • Additional Icon • You Are Here • Area of Refuge • Printer Icon

  8. Evolution - Future • Campus View • Wireless Fire Fighter Tracking • FirstVision 3D

  9. Event Command Challenges • Many unknowns • Top priority is to locate and rescue any occupants • Occupants evacuating a building during a fire emergency are often confused and may even be injured. • They need to find or be led to the safest path out, trying to avoid intense areas of fire and smoke.

  10. Event Command Challenges • Locating the seat of the fire and potential spread • Identify and locate unique building hazards • Structural hazards • Chemical • Process • Floor plan with the locations of hazardous materials

  11. FirstVision Benefits Identifies crucial information • Where in the structure did the fire start? • What smoke/heat devices are active? • When did the fire start? • How long have the devices been in alarm? • How is the fire progressing? • Sequence of detector activation • What hazards exist? • Chemical storage • Physical hazards (airshafts, elevators, etc.)

  12. FirstVision Benefits Improves firefighter and emergency responder safety • Responder immediately sees where the emergency is located and where he/she is in reference to the fire • Response team can be mobilized immediately to the proper area via the safest route • Indicates location of hazardous materials and structural hazards (e.g. bar joists and tension cables)

  13. FirstVision Benefits Improves building occupant safety • Responders plan the safest escape route for occupants to minimize occupant exposure to fire or smoke • Lists occupancy levels during the day versus evening so firefighters can quickly estimate the number of occupants

  14. FirstVision Benefits Reduces the risk of property loss • Helps preserve property by allowing the firefighter to locate and extinguish the fire sooner • Identifies exactly where in the building the emergency originated • Firefighters have the information to make accurate decisions about where to first send a response team • Displays time sequenced activated detectors to show the fire progression

  15. FirstVision Benefits Minimize business interruption • Locate the fire faster and easier

  16. FirstVision Benefits Minimize business interruption • Immediately accessible on scene • Wall-mounted in building entrances, security offices and fire command Centers • Cabinet door unlocks automatically upon alarm - no key is required from a Knox Box or similar secure enclosure

  17. Applications High Life Safety Issues • Occupied by a large number of people need fire response personnel immediately directed to the fire event location • Examples: • Hospitals • Schools • Dormitories • Assisted Living Facilities • High-Rise Residential/Commercial

  18. Applications Buildings with Complicated Layouts • Graphic site plan and floor plans to expedite fire service identifying the fire location and best way to reach the fire • Examples: • Shopping malls • Convention centers • Large distribution centers • Manufacturing plants

  19. Applications High-Value Facilities • Facilities with hazardous materials can clearly see the location of these materials on the floor plan • Examples: • Laboratory facilities in hospitals and universities • Telecommunications • Manufacturing • Research • Financial

  20. Evolution of Technology and Codes • Historically, everything associated with Fire Alarm system is code driven • Technology will grow incrementally faster than the code’s ability to keep up with it • Proactive instituting and using new technology that can improve the safety of firefighters and building occupants alike • New technology of FirstVision will enhance the fire service response, not change the fundamental approach.

  21. FirstVision Codes and Standards to Date • UL/ ULC Listed • NEMA SB30 Fire Service Annunciator and Interface standard adopted • NIST- Submitted proposal to NEMA for en-route display, colors and icon standards • NFPA 72 2007 Annex will include NEMA SB30 standards

  22. NEMA Standard - Announcement NEMA Introduces New Fire Service Standard  Dec 2005 • (ROSSLYN, VA) - NEMA’s Signaling Protection and Communications Product Section, representing elements of the fire alarm industry, recently released SB 30-2005, Fire Service Annunciator and Interface. • SB 30 was developed jointly by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Building and Fire Research Laboratory, NEMA, and the U.S. fire alarm industry.
