A Computerized Command and Control System for the Los Angeles City Fire Department.

摘要

This paper describes a fire department C and C system which is more advanced than any existing system. However, nothing in the system is new or 'way out'. In fact, identical equipments performing similar functions have been in operation for a number of years. The application of this technology to the fire service is the part of this project that is new. The success of this project is largely due to the fact that it was a coordinated team effort involving the Los Angeles City Fire Department, the Department of Public Utilities and Transportation, and ARINC Research Corporation. Each element of this team provided unique knowledge and experience which was combined to effectively develop an optimum fire department Command and Control System for the City of Los Angeles. This C and C System is extensive since it was designed for one of the largest cities in the world; however, a similar system with most of the capabilities that have been described can be provided to meet the needs and budgets of fire departments of any size.
