Operational context

What crews are deciding in the first minutes

Where to search first, how many crews to commit, and how to track everyone who entered.

  • Deploy Pods around the structure during size-up.
  • Review zone-level activity indications alongside occupant reports.
  • Distinguish tagged responders from unknown human-like activity.
  • Monitor coverage and signal quality so gaps are visible.

Intended contribution

  • Additional evidence for prioritising search areas.
  • Improved awareness of where known responders are working.
  • A record of sensing coverage during the incident.

What it does not replace

  • Established search procedures and incident command.
  • Thermal imaging, acoustic tools and certified life-safety equipment.
  • Firefighter training, experience and judgment.
