California Fire Chiefs Association

Our priority is to ensure that all fire departments in California have access to the best tools available, regardless of their size or budget. That’s why we’ve partnered with 3AM Innovations Inc. to provide FLORIAN Monitor to fire departments statewide for a full year, and at no cost to the departments. FLORIAN Monitor is an incident command app that displays multiple windows of incident critical information on a single screen. That includes situational data such as 3D and satellite maps, hydrant statuses, and building layouts, along with real-time updates like incident notes, weather maps, and drone feeds.

Fire Engines on the Line: The Local Impact on Wildfire Response This graphic highlights the crucial role that Local Government and Local Government-staffed OES engines play in California's firefighting efforts. With 42% of the total engines deployed coming from local agencies, it’s clear that collaboration at all levels—federal, state, and local—is essential for effective wildfire response. Together, we can protect our communities and respond to the challenges of wildfire season. #WildfireResponse #LocalGovernment #FireSafety #CalOES #CALFIRE
