The Henrico County Division of Fire CAD Passport provides real-time personnel accountability, which bolsters firefighter safety, matches appropriate resources with community need, and increases organizational awareness of those personnel involved in high-stress and traumatic incidents. Through the integration of available technology, tied to existing payroll and credentialing databases, response units are now categorized by the training levels and abilities of personnel to ensure the best resources are assigned to the community’s immediate need. Fireground commanders can quickly assess personnel information and account for those working in hazardous locations through a reliable and automated method. The information is available in mobile environments and easily collected. After high-stress incidents, the organization’s personnel greatly benefit from stress debriefing and counseling. CAD Passport identifies the specific names and the roles of the staff present at each critical incident, so they can participate in the debriefing process, if desired.
