Chief Dan Munsey will kick off FireFusion with a look at how fire departments should collaborate to become part of the next generation of Smart Cities. Through the integration of information and communication technology and the Internet of Things into city infrastructure and services, communities can access and share critical data, live situational awareness, and more between agencies. The fire service has, in parallel, started its transition into a new "smart" era of integrated data analytics with the use of AI, common operating platforms, and robotics. Munsey will illustrate why NOW is the time to start working within your communities to design a Smart City roadmap that is inclusive to the fire service and recognizes our unique and innovational needs.
