Our goal for this project is to make a product that will help improve the safety of first responders and/or the process of fighting fire. To help us do this we interviewed/shadowed multiple groups to help identify areas of potential improvement.
Westerville Fire Department:
The Westerville Fire Department gives us a better look at how a fire department in a more residential area operates and problems they encounter.
Columbus Fire Department:
The Columbus Fire Department give us a better look at how a fire department in a more urban/condensed area operates and problems that they encounter.
Ohio State Police Department:
Quite often while talking to the fire departments their largest area of duty centered around ems/vehicle accidents. At these scenes they often deal with police officers, so our group wanted to get a perspective of how police officers deal with these encounters. We also asked other questions to get a better idea how first responders deal with different situations.
