I am interested in what software you are using for prefire planning. If anyone is in the Philadelphia region would love to chat and see how you have put the prefire plan into service. We have been doing very simple drawings using google maps for the image. We what to take it to the next level based on NFPA 1620. Do not want to recreate the wheel if someone has been down this road, we are a volunteer fire department with rural, busy downtown, industry, university and many apartment complexes.

Thanks for your help.
 
Have not seen any depts use any

Have seen demos but have not tried

I think just use a simple program

Remember you may have to access this in the middle of the night, raining and every thing else

The engines and chiefs vehicles have laptops so not a problem. Thinking 2 levels of info one for the firefighter i.e. where is the FDC, entrances, etc., chief more details floor layouts, GPM available, construction, hazard, etc etc.
 
Old post wondering if any FD are pre-fire planning, and if so what program are you using? We have been doing Pre-fire plans for about a year now using PowerPoint to develop the plans. We are looking at First Due and Blazemark Software. Thanks Tom
 
I should say this is from a Fire Department point of view not insurance ie my name. Retired now using my fire protection knowledge and firefighting experience to develop the Pre-fire Plans.
