Artificial intelligence (AI) has proven to be a valuable assistant in daily work within a fire department. From generating predictive analyses of fire behavior in a specific area to generating a summary of a document, AI has a place in your department. In this course, we will focus on the administrative task of reviewing and analyzing documents and how AI can assist in making this process more effective and efficient.

The approach to implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in a fire department should be similar to introducing a new piece of equipment or policy. Identify the areas of need within your department and determine how the AI platform can help you work towards the department's mission, vision, and goals. Risk evaluation and continuous monitoring will keep your AI platform running smoothly and operating to meet your department needs. All this and more will be addressed in this course. This course was developed in partnership with the GovAI Coalition. The mission of the GovAI Coalition is to promote responsible and purposeful artificial intelligence (AI) in the public sector.

There are 3.1 million false alarms that come into the fire station annually. That means that firefighters and apparatus are tied up for long periods of time looking for potential fires, and coming up short. This takes precious time that could be used to support an ongoing fire operation. A thermal imaging camera (TIC) can quickly identify the location of a potential heat signature, or lack thereof, and even potential victims. Knowing how to effectively use a TIC in a variety of ways can open the door to more effective operations overall and help firefighters predict fire behavior to make safer decisions. We will cover these topics and more with the help of Insight Fire Training, LLC to help your department explore new and unexpected uses for thermal imaging cameras.
