APR - JUN 20196 Rachel SmithManaging EditorThe Future of Firefighting is HereTechnological developments surrounding fire safety have come a long way since the early days of bucket brigades and hand pump trucks pulled by horses. Today, state-of-the-art fire trucks with high-tech water sprinklers and sound wave fire extinguishers are becoming the new gold standard of fire safety systems. Furthermore, smart technologies like artificial intelligence and mixed reality are being used to create innovative systems and solutions to aid first responders in unique ways. Today, the U.S. firefighters are also using sensors embedded in first responders' uniforms to track their movements while averting a fire crisis. In addition, there is a relatively new technique known as sensor-assisted fire fighting emerging, which helps in predicting how a fire will spread by using the real-time observation of the crisis site. The technology will help save firefighters valuable time by providing warning in advance. Another emerging technology that is showing immense promise is the `electrical wave blaster' that can bend flames or extinguish them without the use of large amounts of water. In a nutshell, from pre-planning to post-incident analysis, these innovative technologies will help firefighters streamline their work.Amid these exciting developments in the fire prevention and safety landscape, Enterprise Technology Review presents this edition featuring some of the most prominent organizations that are transforming the way firefighters and first responders do their job. We hope the state-of-the-art solutions offered by the featured companies as well as valuable CXO thought-leadership articles will help you get a better picture of the fire protection arena and how technology is revolutionizing it.Let us know your thoughts!Copyright © 2019 ValleyMedia Inc.
