Laflin Fire now connected to Luzerne County CAD System and "I am responding"

The Laflin Fire Department is now one of just a few Luzerne County Fire Departments with a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) connected directly to Luzerne County 911. Laflin responding engine now has all the same information that the dispatcher has available, along with GPS maps and enhanced call info. The engine can also show enroute and onscene with the press of a button, keeping radio channels clear. Laflin will shortly have a 2nd unit operating in the 152 Squad. In addition the CAD communicates with a web based system called "I am responding" This system sends an immediate text message to all members with all dispatch info, info is also displayed on a screen at the station. Members then press a button on their cell phones and their response is recorded on same screen at station, drivers immediately know who is on their way and their response time.
