Experiments conducted in a Toledo Ohio school are used to examine the use of signals from simulated heat detectors by incident command. Two approaches are examined. The first is to use the signal from ceiling mounted thermocouples to deduce conditions in the fire room and hallway. The second approach is to process these signals using the Sensor-Driven Fire Model to provide additional information to incident command.

The Building Networks and Public Safety Communications project has three components: (1) addressing feasibility of using building networks for bridging first responder radio communications into buildings, (2) recommending changes to the SAFECOM Statement of Requirements that address the role of the building, and (3) a workshop that addresses current, what works for in-building radio communications. Radio coverage for emergency response in buildings is frequently problematic due to the shielding effects of building structures. Since many public safety incidents occur in buildings, use of...
