Emergency Reporting (ER), a leading provider of Fire & EMS records management software headquartered in Bellingham, Washington, recently announced a new partnership with Halligan, the innovative solution for mobile truck checks and work order management. The integration will save fire departments money and time with apparatus checks, real-time notifications, budget-balancing analytics, configurable checklists and secure check histories for every piece of YYOuin the fleet.

“We’re excited about our partnership with Halligan. The integration with their mobile app allows us to offer customers a new technology that complements and extends our existing capabilities,” says David Nokes, Sr. Director, Strategic Alliances, Emergency Reporting. “This seamless interface is a great example of how the ER platform provides agencies with complete solutions for reliable, secure records management.”

Officers now have better command of their stations with the tools to stay more informed and maintain better control. Firefighters are more efficient and trucks are always ready to roll.

"Halligan brings the first native mobile application for truck checks to the first responder community,” says Alex Montgomery, Co-Founder and CEO, Halligan. “Halligan is quickly becoming a leading truck check solution for both paid and volunteer departments.

Firefighters love it because it’s easier to do their checks holding a phone or tablet than a piece of paper, pen and clipboard. Officers gain visibility into their fleet and equipment. Halligan solves the entire workflow from identifying issues to the resolution. Partnering with Emergency Reporting means departments can leverage Halligan's powerful truck checks and work orders while still having all their data live in their primary record management system."

With the integration, fire departments can digitally maintain inventory and generate professional reports with the push of a button. Fire personnel can send and receive work order repair messages right from the app. Critical equipment service information can easily be shared with mechanics, dispatch, chiefs, captains and others.

As ER customer Chris Patti, a Lieutenant with the McLane/Black Lake Fire Department in Olympia, Washington, states, “I like having the ability to bring over our tracked equipment from ER and see that data in our apparatus checks, complete our checks via web browser or the mobile app, and create a maintenance request automatically in ER based on our settings in Halligan. This not only fills a long-time gap in our maintenance tracking process, it provides us the means to fulfill the requirement of our ISO rating by tracking any issues more in-depth at our sub-stations.”

The app is native iOS/Android. For additional information including pricing, a demo, or a free trial, visit: http://info.emergencyreporting.com/halligan

Coxreels introduced a product enhancement to the spring-driven 1¼-inch and 1½-inch SLPL models. Prior to this update, these models of the SLPL came standard with Coxreels’ aluminum inline swivel. Optional on all of these models was the outsourced 90° swivel. For customers needing a stainless steel fluid path, the outsourced 90° stainless steel swivel was the only option.

Coxreels eliminated the aluminum inline swivel on five SLPL models (725, 750, 825, 835, and 850) and incorporated a nickel-plated steel inline swivel (from the 1185-Series). This swivel increases the pressure rating of the inline plumbing from 250psi to 1500psi. The nickel plated steel is also far more rugged and durable than the aluminum swivel that it replaces. The new swivel includes Coxreels multi-lobe seals for much improved leak integrity.

The new inline swivel is also available in stainless steel, which gives customers a choice with their stainless steel fluid path requirements. The stainless steel inline swivel fluid path is considerably more cost-effective than the 90° swivel stainless steel fluid path. The inline swivel also boasts a more efficient, less restrictive flow path than the 90° swivel.

The axle plumbing in both standard carbon steel models and optional stainless steel models was upgraded as well. The 135° elbow on the axle riser has been replaced with the Coxreels swept riser design (also from the 1185-Series). The swept riser design offers a less restrictive flow path for improved flow efficiency.
