techUK is hosting this event in partnership with the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) and industry together, to discuss and better understand the opportunities for development of CAD/ICCs solutions.

A number of fire and rescue services are looking to go out to market for new solutions within the next 24 months and there is a desire to have more standardised system and data specifications, T&Cs and genuine collaboration.

Objectives

  • Improved and closer relationship between the FRS sector and suppliers to collectively drive innovation.
  • Increase sector situational awareness and understanding.
  • Greater levels of efficiency, intelligence and consistency of fire service control rooms.
  • Allow future technology to be more easily and more efficiently implemented across the sector.
  • To understand the art of the possible.

Prompt Questions

  • What are the opportunities in the short term, 1-2 years, to support suppliers and the sector as many services go out for CAD, ICCS and other systems and services?
  •  What are the opportunities in the long term, 2-3 years, to change the supplier/sector relationship for future systems and technology
  • Where should fire and rescue be focussing its investment, both in terms of:
  1. Ability to harness the technology
  2.  Skills required in the sector
  • How has industry engaged with other sectors and what things are being done to keep pace with or exploit AI?
  • What does the fire and rescue sector need to provide industry in order for industry to develop safe, secure, and reliable products and services for fire and rescue to consume?
  • How does NFCC’s DDaT function support these developments?
  • What can fire and rescue learn from other sectors?
