Notice Information
Notice Title
Crash Recovery System Licences
Notice Description
NIFRS has a legal & moral obligation to protect life, property and the environment across Northern Ireland. RTCs remain one of the most frequent, high-risk and life critical incidents types attended by the Fire Service. The renewal of Crash recovery licences will enable crews arriving at an accident to assess the situation in a timely manner and make critical decisions of how to extricate persons involved in an RTC. The software will enable crews to directly search and identify the make and model of the vehicle and will provide personnel with up to date and reliable safety critical information relating to hazardous components which may be encountered at incidents involving all vehicles (i.e. cars, vans, lorries and Electric Vehicles) whether the incident is fire related or a special service call (e.g. road traffic collision).
Procurement Information
Moditech Rescue Solutions BV are the creators of Crash Recovery System(r) and hold the technical rights to the licencing. NIFRS currently run Crash Recovery System(r) on end-of-life equipment. Current MDTs are outdated and run on Windows XP.
