AI-Based Fire Service Operations and Emergency Response Training by Tonex
The AI-Based Fire Service Operations and Emergency Response Training is a 2-day interactive online course that helps fire departments and emergency responders harness Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve operational effectiveness, response time, and firefighter safety.
Participants explore how AI, machine learning, and predictive analytics can support key functions such as early detection, risk prediction, dispatch optimization, and post-incident analysis. Real-world use cases, group simulations, and scenario-based exercises demonstrate how AI enables smarter decision-making in dynamic fireground and emergency environments.
By the end of this course, participants will understand how to integrate AI tools responsibly into prevention, suppression, and recovery workflows within their fire service or emergency management organization.
