FireWhat iPhone App Takes Firefighting Technology to New Heights

Innovative iPhone applications have changed the way people connect with the world, but surprisingly they have also changed the way firemen interact with fires. Providing digital resources to firemen on the move, new firefighting applications help firefighters save lives amongst all the confusion of tumultuous flames. 

Launched on October 1st, FireWhat is but one of the many iPhone applications serving the firefighting community. Its launch date coincided with the beginning of the Great Fire, helping firefighters at a pivotal time. Thanks to this new technology, firefighters have access to residence and escape route locations, as well as pre-arrival information. Additionally, this app provides firefighters with satellite imagery, street maps, topographical layers, hot spot tracking, resource information, evacuation information, and live weather reports. 

The staff at FireWhat works diligently to provide firefighters with the most up to date and useful lifesaving tools this day in age can provide. An MIT graduate and two firefighters sought to create this start-up company in order to innovate a technology-deprived industry, providing a professional platform for inspiring for the best emergency service system possible.
