Steve Stedman, CTO, discusses web-based system

WASCF conference wraps up

Emergency Reporting was an exhibitor at the Washington State Association Fire Chiefs conference this week in Spokane, WA.

The conference provided us with the opportunity to have prospects see the system in action and for customers to access their accounts for real-time incident reviews and news.

CFED West - 2009

Emergency Reporting was an exhibitor at the CFED West Conference this week in Palm Springs, CA. The conference offered sessions in Fire, EMS, Nursing/Med, Disaster/Public Health, and Terrorism. Two very interesting sessions included one on international terrorism and the other was presented by a Commander in the Israel Police Force on the subject of first responders' role in terrorist attacks.

Our fire, EMS and risk assessment services were accessible from our booth and we had the opportunity to meet agencies interested in our packages, as well as a chance to meet face to face with customers.

For more information about the advantages of web-based reporting and records management, please submit a request for trial account.

Thanks to FSTI

Fire-Rescue Med 2009

Emergency Reporting was an exhibitor at the 2009 conference May 4-5 in Las Vegas at the Orleans Convention Center.

We enjoy exhibiting at the FRI Med conference, because the audience is an impressive group of experienced first response decision makers. We were accessing the web-based system for fire reports and records management using a laptop and wireless card.

Even though the 2009 attendance number was down considerably from the previous show, nothing beats face-to-face conversations and system demonstrations.
