Fireground (Conventional Only)

The portable Fireground Communications System is
designed for deployment at an incident scene. It
consists of five central components:
• Your APX portable radios
• Incident Management Software
• Command Terminal
• Radio Frequency (RF) Modem
• DVRS (Optional)
These components provide on-scene and inbuilding
radio coverage, and enhanced personnel
accountability and monitoring.
The radio helps to indicate your presence on the
scene if it is in the range of the Incident Commander
command terminal.
