South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue is a lead organisation for the new Emergency Services Network (ESN) critical communications system and worked with the Home Office on approval for its Systel mobilising system - the software it uses to send fire engines to emergencies -to connect to the new network. This achievement represents big progress for the cross-government programme, which will replace the current Airwave service which firefighters and other 999 workers use to communicate with each other at emergencies. Chief Fire Officer Alex Johnson said: "We're proud to be playing a leading role in supporting the roll out of the biggest transformation in emergency services communication in a generation. Our position as a lead organisation for the technology within the Fire and Rescue Service confirms the skill and expertise of our ICT and control room staff, as well as the resilience and security of our systems."
