Inspections are vital components of fire prevention. Panasonic Toughbook® laptops’ reliable wireless connectivity streamlines the process by enabling fast, accurate data entry, transfer and sharing.

The resources of many fire departments are stretched to the limits, challenging their ability to conduct frequent inspections that could help reduce the risk of fires. Yet many fire departments still rely on outdated paper forms to complete fire inspections, which is laborious and error-prone when reading or transferring records. This archaic process also takes valuable time away from other important duties such as training and public education.

Recent technological advancements from Panasonic and its software partners simplify and expedite the inspection process by enabling fire departments to use electronic data entry. Data can be collected and organized on a rugged Toughbook^® mobile computer and then transferred to the department's main computer for sharing throughout the department and with other government agencies. The ability to quickly access critical data, such as updated fire code violations, pre-plans and hazardous materials on-scene, can lead to more lives being saved during a fire emergency.
