Comprehensive Pre-Incident Data β€” All in One Tap

FDBeacon captures the full spectrum of pre-incident planning data aligned with NFPA 1620: Standard for Pre-Incident Planning β€” the nationally recognized benchmark for building intelligence in the fire service. Every data element is purpose-built for the fireground.

⚠️

Life Safety Hazards

Structural concerns, collapse risk indicators, special occupant needs, and after-hours occupancy conditions β€” flagged prominently at the top of every responder view so critical intelligence is never missed on arrival.

πŸ”₯

Fire Protection Systems

Sprinkler system type (wet, dry, deluge, pre-action, foam), FDC location, standpipe presence and location, fire pump details, alarm panel location, and Knox Box placement β€” aligned with NFPA 1620 Section 6.

πŸ—οΈ

Building Construction

IBC/NFPA 220 construction type (Type I-A through Type V-B), stories above and below grade, total square footage, year built, roof type and material, basement presence β€” critical for tactical decision-making.

πŸ“ž

Emergency Contacts

Property manager, security, maintenance, alarm company, and hazmat contacts β€” all with tap-to-call functionality. No fumbling through binders on scene. Contacts are categorized by role for rapid identification under stress.

⚑

Utility & Hazmat Data

Gas, electric, and water shutoff locations with specific field-level descriptions. Hazardous materials inventory including chemical identity, storage location, and quantity. Solar panel and battery storage system locations per NFPA 1 Chapter 11 and NFPA 855.

πŸšͺ

Access & Occupancy

Primary and secondary entry descriptions, gate codes, occupancy type (IBC-aligned), typical occupant counts, hours of operation, and after-hours occupancy notes β€” essential for size-up and rescue prioritization under NFPA 1620 Section 4.

πŸ“‹
