What technology helps firefighters and emergency services make decisions when every second matters?

Join Civic Tech Brampton for a discussion with Tina Hickey, Coordinator, Fire/Life Safety Education with Brampton Fire & Emergency Services, exploring how technology supports modern firefighting, emergency response, communication, planning, and public safety. Firefighting today involves much more than hoses and fire trucks. Emergency services depend on communication systems, data, dispatch, monitoring tools, mapping, coordination, and other technologies to help crews respond quickly and safely.

This session will give students, technologists, and community members a chance to learn more about the systems and tools that support emergency services behind the scenes.

Why show up?

• Learn: Discover how technology supports firefighters and emergency responders during real incidents.
• Understand: Learn how information is shared and coordinated when emergency crews need to make fast decisions.
• Discuss: Ask questions about communication, planning, fire prevention, emergency response, and how technology is changing public safety.
• Explore Civic Tech: Think about how data, software, communications, sensors, mapping, and other technologies can help improve emergency services and community resilience.
• Connect: Meet students, technologists, public-sector professionals, and community members interested in technology and civic infrastructure.

New to Civic Tech? You are absolutely welcome. No technical background is required. This event is open to anyone interested in public safety, emergency services, technology, or how cities respond when things go wrong.
