APX Data and Fanshawe College Team Up to Lead Fire Prevention Practice of Tomorrow in Fire Inspection and Fire Safety Education Program
Summary
Access to digital information - such as inspections, building layouts or hazardous materials data - available in seconds while on route allows firefighters to leverage smart mobile technology during emergencies to save lives. Currently, the prevailing method involves pen and paper, which takes thousands of specialized person-hours in order to document and keep up-to-date. “We’ve been called the 21st-century solution for modern firefighters by our very own customers,” said Paul Martin, Founder and CEO of APX Data. The APX CityScape solution is being used by hundreds of fire department users across North America. The College has 197,000 alumni, attracts students from 90 countries every year and opens up a world of possibilities through more than 200 degree, diploma and certificate programs, along with apprenticeship training.
