INTRODUCING THE FIRE PRIORITY DISPATCH SYSTEM(TM)
The FPDS(TM) takes the science of structured call processing to the fire-rescue environment.  The protocol uses logic-based Case Entry and Key Question interrogation to safely and accurately prioritize responses to fire-rescue incidents.  Post-Dispatch and Pre-Arrival Instructions provide a Zero Minute Response(TM) to callers at the scene, thereby improving scene safety and response effectiveness.  While users of the associated Medical Priority Dispatch System(TM) already understand these components, the graphical design and Intuitive flow of the FPDS(TM) provide an easy transition for the newcomer to structured call processing.
VALUE OF EFD CERTIFICAITON TRAINING
Use of the protocol requires knowledge of the protocol.  The surest way to obtain that knowledge is the 24-hour certification course.  While addressing key issues uniquely related to fire dispatch, the EFD course provides hands-on use of the FPDS(TM) in simulated incident call situations, complete with feedback and discussion. Completion of the course provides you with the confidence and ability necessary to use the FPDS in the trenches of public safety dispatch.
