Re: First -In Fire Station Alerting Systems
Dear Ms. Burns:
To follow up on our discussion, Westnet is the inventor, manufacturer and sole provider of First -In Fire
Station Alerting Systems, and holds numerous patent and registered intellectual property rights. Wesmet
does not have any authorized dealers or distributors in the state of Florida.
The First -In Fire Station Alerting System is unique in that the system is the only system on the market
with a Dorm Remote. The Donn Remote provides programmable. company -specific bedside alerting
that includes rows of red, energy -efficient LED lighting that reduces the firefighter eyestrain and night
blindness which can occur with other lighting systems. This unique lighting system provides for a much
safer passage to the apparatus bay. which improves firefighter safety in the fire station. The Dorm
Remote also provides firefighters with the ability to program his or her specific assignment information
from the front panel of the Dorm Remote, so that only the firefighters needed on the call are awakened.
Another feature unique to the First -In Alerting System is a device that analyzes the level of audio in the
apparatus bays before the station is alerted. This device solves a long-standing problem of areas with
fluctuating ambient noise by automatically adjusting it's volume level so that the firefighters can clearly
hear the incoming message from the dispatch center.
An important and distinctive feature of the First -In Fire Station Alerting System is a reduction in on -
scene response time. The First -In System quickly and automatically provides firefighters with important
incident information, such as which vehicles are needed for the call and what type ol'call it is (Le.
structure fire, cardiac arrest, etc.). This feature avoids communications errors and allows dispatchers to
signal firefighters faster than traditional methods of alerting.
The First -In System provides many other unique methods of fire station alerting. If you need more
information on these features, please feel free to contact me.
