Dispatch Architecture
Dispatch integration bridges property-level detection with fire service command centers through:
- Automated Alert Routing: Critical alerts immediately routed to designated dispatchers
- Location Data: Geographic coordinates and property identification provided instantly
- Property Metadata: Building type, occupancy, hazard classification, and contact information
- Signal Verification: Digital confirmation of message authenticity and delivery
Signal Classification & Priority
Critical Alerts (Immediate Dispatch)
Active fire detection signals automatically trigger:
- Immediate responder notification
- Automatic dispatch authorization
- Full incident package delivery
Supervisory Alerts (Monitored Review)
System faults and anomalies requiring investigative response:
- Firefighter notification with context
- Technical support dispatch if required
- Incident logging for analysis
Maintenance Alerts (Routine Follow-up)
Non-emergency diagnostic issues scheduled for routine maintenance.
Jurisdictional Coordination
The system automatically identifies appropriate fire service authority based on property location:
- Primary Responder: Geographically nearest fire station
- Mutual Aid: Secondary stations for large-scale incidents
- Command Authority: Appropriate zone or state-level command center
Multi-Agency Communication
- Fire service dispatch receives primary alert
- Property management receives simultaneous notification
- Building management systems automatically execute emergency protocols
- Occupants receive evacuation guidance
- All events logged for post-incident analysis
Performance Metrics
- Alert transmission time (target: <2 seconds)
- Dispatcher acknowledgment time (target: <30 seconds)
- Response arrival time (tracked for performance analysis)
- Incident resolution time (post-incident metric)
