FH Mobile

FH Mobile is a new suite of applications designed to complement your FIREHOUSE Software system. FH Mobile uses an interface designed for mobile computers installed in responding vehicles or for use in the field with large, easy to press buttons and flexible display options. Click a single button to synchronize the FH Mobile database with your central FH database. The connection only needs to be made to synchronize the FH Mobile database. FH Mobile is optimized for Windows® XP Tablet PC Edition but can be run on any Windows® 2000 or Windows® XP equipped laptop or mobile computer.

FH Mobile Preplans 

You have taken a lot of time and effort to ensure that your FH occupancy records are complete. Now you can use your occupancy information while en route to scene. FH Mobile Preplans makes viewing (or hearing) occupancy information easy, using an interface designed for mobile PCs or laptops installed in responding vehicles. FH Mobile Preplans is optimized to display or audibly read the information you need from your occupancy records while en route to scene, with large, easy to press buttons and flexible display options to adapt the program to your mobile PC. Display all or selected information from: 

  • occupancy contacts, 
  • building information, 
  • needed fire flow, 
  • information and alerts (preplans), 
  • inspections, 
  • chemicals, 
  • onsite materials, 
  • associated hydrants, 
  • hazardous materials, 
  • storage tanks, 
  • attachments, 
  • last occupancy update and synchronization dates. 

FH Mobile Preplans can be installed on any Windows® 2000 or Windows® XP equipped laptop or mobile computer with a connection to FH standard or FH Enterprise database version 6.0.78 or greater, and 64 MB available RAM, and 200 MB available hard disk space (your requirements may be greater depending on the number of records you synchronize and the size of embedded attachments). Resolution should be 800 by 600, we recommend 1024 by 768. Click a single button to synchronize the FH Mobile Preplans database with your central FH database, and you're ready to start using FH Mobile Preplans. The connection only needs to be made to synchronize the FH Mobile Preplans database.

FH Mobile Preplans is very flexible: 

  • A search form lets you search by occupancy name, address, or Occupancy ID. Just type a few letters of any word or number included in the occupancy name or the address and matching occupancies are displayed. 
  • You can opt to have a synthesized voice read occupancy information when an occupancy is opened for review, and even define what information that is spoken. 
  • You can remove data elements that are not important to your preplan review en route to scene, and modify the appearance of the FH Mobile Preplans desktop to match the mobile PC by specifying text size, and column spacing you can set. 
  • You can include all occupancy records from your FH database, or only include occupancy records from specified stations and/or districts for a specific FH Mobile Preplans installation. 
  • FH Mobile Preplans can connect to FH standard or FH Enterprise databases. For FH Enterprise databases, wireless connection support is included so if your mobile PC has a wireless connection and you open an occupancy, and the occupancy record has been modified after the FH Mobile Preplans database was synchronized, FH Mobile Preplans grabs the updated occupancy from the server. 
  • You can include record attachments to view pictures and drawings attached to the occupancy record.

FH Mobile Preplans is designed to display the information you need on the go. Alternatively, FH Mobile Preplans can be used by other agencies (police, city work crews, or any agency with the need for occupancy information and with available mobile computers). FH Mobile Preplans can even be used on stationary computers by agencies outside your department. For example, your dispatch agency could use FH Mobile Preplans synchronized with your FH database to broadcast occupancy information to your responding units. This would give dispatch agencies all your FH occupancy information at their finger tips without requiring them to have a full version of FH.
