    I am looking for ideas for possible capital improvements technology wise for our department. I am looking into mapping/gis software witch could be interfaced with dispatch, also i am responding, radio controlled knox boxes for rigs,maybe even some new portable radios to replace our 10-15 year old radios we have.
    ANyone have any other ideas?
    I am not trying to build a wish list as much as items which could better the way we doing this by using technology.
    Thanks in advance!

    Instead of I Am Responding, check out Spotted Dog. Much better program, and it does much more. We had IAR and dumped it after 2 years for SD and never looked back. Jason Fisch is a guy who does SD, and also a FF in the Hudson valley.

    Why does it matter aside from maybe helping figure out what is wrong with the patient? Forget about how its just wrong to treat someone differently based upon a medical condition, what if they don't know they're carrying some disease. Everyone gets treated the same unless I suspect an infection requiring droplet precautions.
