Introduction

This Forms section introduces you to the features of the many screens you see in the Fire Watch system.
 

Fire Watch Menu

• Incident Master: A comprehensive list of screens that put all the information about each incident/occurrence at your fingertips.
• Personnel: A set of forms that allow you to add or edit personnel.
• Sessions: Keep track of the available sessions as well as those that have been held.
• Inspections: Keep track of inspections and other fire prevention efforts using this set of forms.
• Fire Code: Useful when filling out Inspections, it contains the Code and Contravention text as well as access to Corrective Actions that have been entered so far and any available opinions on the code. Several screens are similar to those available from the Inspections form.
• Standard Codes List (SCL): The SCL put out by the Office of the Fire Marshal as well as some fire department specific codes like fire station identifiers.
• Sub Groups List: The SCL can be broken down into groups. These groups are created using this Sub Groups List form.
• Electronic Transfer: Sets up the data files to be sent to the Office of the Fire Marshal for a chosen quarter.
• Municipal Permits: This tabbed form is a smaller version of the Permit Master from our Property Management system. It shows Structures, Permits and Fire Inspections for each property which is useful when trying to determine the value of the property's structures. This is needed to calculate the estimated dollar loss and estimated dollars saved on the Incident form.
• Special Points: For fire departments that use a points system, this form is used to add in special points that have been earned.
   

Maintenance Menu

• Equipment: This form tracks equipment owned as well as general categories of equipment that is assigned to personnel.
• Services: Lists the types of work available for servicing vehicles.
• Hazardous Materials: Allows you to keep a list of materials deemed hazardous that can be pulled up on the Incident Master on the Haz. Mat. tab.
• Streets: The dispatch tab of the Incident Master has a field called Area Road. The roads listed in that pull down box are added using the Streets form.
• Change Streets: This form allows you to easily change the street name that is in use by several incidents. This is a useful tool to correct spelling errors that were made on the Streets form.
• Vicinity: Use this form to add to the options in the vicinity list. It is not recommended to delete vicinities unless you are certain that they are not in use.
• Vehicles: Lets you track data on departmental vehicles including maintenance schedules.
   

Administration Menu

• User Access: Found under the Administration menu, this allows the administrator to alter the users' access without requiring the administrator to walk through the setup wizard.
• Incident Removal: Those who know the Administrator's password can delete incidents when required. Of course, this form should be used sparingly.
• Change Rolls: If an incorrect roll number was entered into the system, or a roll number has changed due to properties merging or splitting, then this form can be used to correct your data.
• Import Incidents: Incident data that has been collected by your dispatch can be brought into the system quickly and easily with this form.
