Firefighters trying to save a burning home walked into something they say they have never seen before, a garage full of dozens of snakes, many of them venomous. There was nothing firefighters could do to save the snakes and the family not only lost their pets, but also their home on Silver Leaf Circle in James Island.

Honeywell Connected Responder Solutions Help Save the Lives of Those Who Help Save Lives

On today’s fireground, overhaul or HazMat site, whenever threats emerge, first responders can now respond faster, more effectively and safely than ever before. How? By utilizing off-the-truck connected safety solutions that provide head-to-toe protection and real-time incident knowledge.

For example, organizations can now integrate their myriad gas monitors, biometrics instrumentation, SCBA and location sensors, PPE, software applications and databases to create an accurate, real-time picture of the fireground. Prior to, and at the incident scene, departments can integrate their data, and apply city/state test and training safety policies to increase firefighter safety, productivity and efficiency.  

This is the future of safety, and Honeywell First Responder is leading the way.



Our future is about connecting sensors — whether they’re on your responders or the perimeter of the ‘hot zone’ — and then integrating the data to provide real-time visibility of the fireground and your firefighters. So you can know exactly what’s happening, the second it’s happening, and you can make better decisions — such as, correcting a small problem before it becomes a crisis, or saving a fellow firefighter’s life.

Today, more than ever, the Internet of Things (IoT) allows organizations and responders to obtain real-time data and information – and distribute that information to databases, or PCs, smart devices and command centers for compliance tracking and analysis. Honeywell’s vision of the Connected Responder applies to off-the-truck detection, protection, and information gathering, analyzing and applying data to make better, faster, more comprehensive decisions that protect responders, assets and the community.
