There are more than 100 integrations and features available through First Arriving’s dashboards for large display screens, desktops and tablets.
“We know what we do best and want to partner with innovators in the industry to expand the depth of features we offer along with our alerting system — our customers drove us to First Arriving,” said Jordan Darnall, Customer Operation Manager for Locution. “Our integration will provide the best alerting technology and information distribution combination in the industry.”
“The integrations that First Arriving brings together in one spot are all so instrumental in our day to day operations; but the integration with Locution has been one of the most beneficial,” said Daniel B. Tyk, RN, BS, NRP, Battalion Chief and PIO of North Shore (WI) Fire/Rescue. “It’s real-time and provides the same information on the screens as the Locution tone voice is coming out over the speakers in the halls of the station.”
