Zetron’s IP Fire Station Alerting (IP FSA) system is getting raves reviews from fire fighters and administrators at fire departments where the system has recently been installed. This includes installations both within and outside of the U.S.

Better Alerts
“IP FSA provides better alerting, notifications of system problems, indications of alert success or failure, and ramped tones,” says John Sullivan, a firefighter with the Addison County, Illinois, Fire Protection District. They installed IP FSA in late 2007.  “When a T1 line failed recently, IP FSA set off an immediate alarm,” he says. “Previously, we wouldn’t have known there was a problem until the next emergency call came in. But with IP FSA, we restored the line long before the next call came in.”  

Saving Time Saves Lives
Another IP FSA installation, completed in early 2008 for the Volunteer Fire Department in Cuenca, Ecuador, is being praised for improving their ability to respond to events: “The time that it used to take to send alerts, open doors, and summon the firefighters is now being used to save lives,” says Dorian T. Carrasco, Director of the Cuenca Fire and Rescue Training Center.
