Raleigh, NC (July 1, 2010) – The city of Columbus, Ohio will deploy Emergency Technologies, Inc. (ETI) Visual Fire, a Fire Records Management System (Fire RMS), to provide responders with access to critical data for promoting the safety of fire personnel and the citizens they protect.
ETI was selected through its strategic business partner, Intergraph Corp., the leading global provider of public safety and security incident management software that facilitates faster emergency response and interoperability between agencies and jurisdictions to save lives and protect property.
ETI will implement Visual Fire later this year as part of a comprehensive public safety software modernization effort led by Intergraph.
