Hello Smart Firefighting Community!

Welcome to another episode of covering real world innovations via interviews with fire service and technology industry experts that empower YOU to develop your very own Smart Firefighting strategy!

Thanks for joining our 10 part FRI Mini Series recorded at the ⁠Fire-Rescue International (FRI)⁠ conference which was hosted by the ⁠International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC)⁠. Each summer, thousands of the most prominent fire and emergency service leaders from around the globe come to FRI. This year, we headed to Kansas City, Missouri at the Kansas City Convention Center, August 16 - 18, 2023 to learn, network, and collaborate together!

In this episode:

  • Creative methods to reduce first responder stress levels
  • Differences between audible & haptic alarms for first responder alerting
  • Peer reviewed science that proves the effectiveness of heart smart alerting system
  • Learn from Blake Richardson - the co-founder and CEO of EaseAlert.

    EaseAlert is a novel firefighter alerting system which uses vibrating wearable devices to gently alert crew members. This tactile alert is designed to reduce stress and improve efficiency by mitigating the harmful startle response associated with the alarm and improving quality of sleep.
