ORH Enhances Fire & Rescue NSW’s Dynamic Cover Tool

ORH’s DCT has been operating successfully in the Sydney and Newcastle Control Rooms for a year and a half.  It is currently being enhanced to provide a number of new features including remote viewing of the live DCT display by Operational Commanders and access to previous historical profiles of cover (eg, to assist in retrospective audit).  Based on the experience of DCT use during the NSW bushfires in the summer of 2013/14, ‘spate condition’ parameters will now drive the DCT display when appliance availability falls to low levels.
