This system was proposed in the planning of the new fire station and was eliminated due to the <br />project budget. <br />Justification <br />The Pheonix G2 Alerting System is a station alerting system used by many fire departments throughout the US including all departments in Ramsey, Anoka and Hennepin Counties. This system alerts station crews of an incoming <br />incident through, lighting, message boards and A/V notifications. Currently, the Washington County Emergency Communications Response Center will be ready with the capabilities to support the Phoenix G2 Alerting System in <br />early 2025. When an incident occurs, the G2 Communications Gateway receives alert data from a dispatcher using CAD and the USDD interactive web-based interface we use today. Dispatch processing time is reduced when <br />said alert data is sent over a high-speed network which can notify fire stations with alerts and information in less than a second. At the fire station, the Phoenix G2 system integrates crystal clear text to speech technology and high- <br />contrast message signs and LED lighting. This helps emergency responders react promptly and efficiently to every call. <br />This systems benefits the on-shift staff by increasing situational awareness and mental preparedness by using clear, consistent station alerting vocals. This helps crews respond more quickly and efficiently. The systems and <br />alerting devices are designed to reduce cardiac stress, anxiety, optical shock, and sleep deprivation through ramped toning and lighting levels. <br />Expenditures 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 Total <br />Equip/Vehicles/Furnishings 75,000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 75,000 <br />Total 75,000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 75,000 <br />Funding <br />Sources 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 Total <br />Fire Equipment & Projects Fund 75,000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 75,000 <br />Total 75,000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 75,000 <br />Produced Using Plan-It CIP Software
