Beyond the Mirrors
How Brigade 360 AI Cameras Improve Fire Apparatus and EMS Fleet Safety Fire Chiefs and apparatus managers carry a responsibility that extends far beyond purchasing and maintaining vehicles. Every apparatus placed into service must protect the crew inside it, the personnel working around it and the public sharing the road.
