As you would expect, todays career and volunteer firefighters must be trained in the traditional skills of the trade. But applying those skills in the modern workplace and during real live incidents requires new skills in digital communications, the use of new equipment like exoskeleton suits, artificaial intelligence driven firefighting robots, remote controled drones for eye-in-the-sky perspectives and advances in thermal imaging. These advances are welcome additions to every firefighters arsenal. They help to save lives. But they are complex systems that require the require trainig. 

Bluegem ALERT is well equiped to help agencies and fire departments future-proof and maintain the high levels of training and accreditation needed to keep our communities safe.
