New Features

1. Add personnel to Station Response when status is "Responding".

  1. We have added the ability to populate personnel into the Station Response when selecting any response other than “Not Available” via the Mobile App or Responder.  
  2. When the user selects any response other than “Not Available” via the Mobile App or within Responder, the personnel is added to the Station Response table.




  • If the user responding is personnel AND is not a unit user (is not an apparatus) it will be placed in the Station Response section as an individual personnel.
  • The Refresh CAD option will check the information coming from Responding (same approach as apparatus).
  • The personnel information in the Station Response section will be included in the Payroll Summary section (like any other personnel information).
  • The user who is a unit user, but is not associated with any apparatus, won’t be taken into account for Station Response, regardless of being a valid personnel for Incident reporting.

2. Add new setting to disable OIC logic.

  1. We have added the ability to disable the OIC logic through a setting in the Fire Incident Setup and allow users to assign the OIC manually. 
  2. Until now, the OIC was automatically assigned based on the First Arriving Unit depending on the personnel integration enabled.
  3. When the setting is enabled, all OIC logic will be ignored and the OIC will default to null.


  1. The OIC assignment works when integrations take place:
    • Scheduling
    • Telestaff
    • Crewsense


Alert
  • Regardless of the setting status, if the OIC comes from CAD, then it will be populated and stored in nfirs_notification.officer_in_charge
  • The integration for OIC works only when the Personnel’s API ID matches the very first record available for that apparatus on the Integration table




Feature Enhancements

1. Pull in personnel and OIC based on api_apparatus_id from.

  1. For those agencies with personnel integrations can now determine to populate the personnel information based on the unit_call_sign or api_apparatus_id.
  2. Until now, all the personnel integrations were based on the unit_call_sign but in the case of Crewsense, they also manage the api_apparatus_id to identify the apparatus assigned.

2. Added Tool Tips to Fire Incident Setup.

  1. A tooltip has been added to give a better understanding of the what each setting is controlling or changing.
  2. Hover over the icon to display the tooltip information.
