Water Source Management
Track all water source types with flow and status data
Comprehensive Water Source Management
Manage every water source in your district—not just fire hydrants. Track wet hydrants, dry hydrants, draft points, and inground tanks with type-specific data fields.
- ✓Five water source types: wet, dry, draft point, inground tank, and other
- ✓Flow rates, pressure data, and capacity tracking per source type
- ✓Maintenance tracking with snow removal, flagging, and issue reporting
- ✓Out-of-service and needs-maintenance status flags
Building & Occupancy Information
Store and access critical building information including occupancy details, hazardous materials, emergency contacts, and special considerations for every structure in your response area.
- ✓Detailed building profiles with occupancy type, hazmat, and contact info
- ✓Parent-child hierarchy for complex structures (malls, campuses, strip plazas)
- ✓Linked access boxes with image galleries for rapid building entry
- ✓Special considerations and notes for each occupancy

Access Box Tracking
Keep track of Knox boxes, key vaults, and other building access devices. Each access box has its own photo gallery and can be linked to one or more occupancies.
- ✓Box numbers, serial numbers, and location descriptions
- ✓Image galleries with photo upload for each access box
- ✓Link access boxes to occupancies for quick reference during response
- ✓Import and export access box data via CSV or GeoJSON
Points of Interest & Custom Layers
Create custom map layers for anything specific to your district—staging areas, water access points, hazard zones, or mutual aid locations. Each layer gets its own color and icon.
- ✓Custom POI layers with configurable colors and icons
- ✓Filter map display by layer to focus on what matters
- ✓Custom metadata schemas per layer for structured data
- ✓Status tracking with active, inactive, and needs-inspection states
