Symposium and Firehouse CAD Introduction

Southwestern New Hampshire District Fire Mutual Aid will hold a meeting on Monday, March 3 at 1900 at the Keene Fire Station to introduce the new CAD system, that is being installed in the dispatch center, to the end users. This informative meeting should be attended by a representative of every department in our mutual aid system. The meeting is intended to introduce the Firehouse software that the dispatch center will be using as it's CAD and to provide information about how this new program will provide all departments with incident information on a web based access. There will also be information about additional costs associated with the annual maintenance of the Firehouse program. Please make every effort to have someone from your department attend.
