The occurrence of wildfires is increasing in the US and around the world.  Emergency responders are turning to reliable satellite solutions to track firefighters venturing into extremely dangerous situations and the Everywhere Communications system delivers a complete solution to track and monitor personnel.

In a region where 100 firefighters are deployed, the Everywhere Hub can provide a view of all of the deployed personnel with the ability to track where each firefighter is located at all times, including where they are in relation to fire engines and equipment, and how close – or far away – they are from the heart of the fire. A team leader can use Everywhere technology to send a Pulse message to each member of the team in that identified area, asking whether they are okay. Within minutes, they will know exactly how many team members have responded. Team members who don’t respond can be quickly identified, and a rescue team can be mobilized.
