“ It provides our control officers with the information they need to make informed mobilisation decisions, enabling us to move our resources around more quickly and efficiently.”

“ Our mobilising control system is state of the art, tried and tested, and has the capacity to take a high volume of emergency calls. We welcome new opportunities to collaborate with others for the benefit of all our residents. This arrangement will increase our resilience and is likely to result in efficiency savings”.

“Because all three fire and rescue services have the same NEC Software Solutions technology in their control centres, we will have far greater resilience. If one service is under pressure, the others will be able to provide full support. This integrated system will allow us to work together even more effectively than we do at the moment, and that can only be good for public and fire fighter safety.”
