Smart rescue: smart fire management system for smart city / Farhan Naufaldy … [et al.]

The advancement of technology needs to be combined with emergency services to increase people’s safety. One of the most common incidents to happen is fire incidents. A late response from the firefighters could lead to casualties, material loss, and trauma in a fire incident. Moreover, the government also needs a form of technology that can help them make better decisions on preventing fire incidents, and to control the quality of firefighters. To counter the problems stated above, an application software called “Smart rescue” is made. Smart rescue aims to provide a reliable and fast way of reporting fire incidents to the fire department which is in charge of fire incidents in a particular area. Smart rescue also provides data visualizations of fire incidents that happen in various areas and the response time of firefighters, thus giving the government a tool to assist them in making critical decisions regarding fire incidents. Before the making of this web application, there is a similar application made by another institution. But the application fails, as it has many malfunctions and is too hard to access since it has to be downloaded first. But smart rescue tackles that problem by making a lightweight, practical, offline-available, and flexible software, as it can be installed on all devices as an application and also can be opened on a browser as a website. Smart rescue has been tested by Pekanbaru city’s official government and is currently being recognized as the application being used by the local fire department. We believe that smart rescue can be a smart way to provide the best assistance that people may need in dire situations. The software can also be adapted by other governmental institutions residing in other cities or areas.
