SAM System

The SAM (Scene Apparatus Manager) system for fire trucks can greatly benefit a volunteer fire department in several ways. Volunteer fire departments often face challenges like limited staffing, diverse skill levels, and time constraints during emergencies.

The SAM system automates the pump panel operations by controlling water flow, pressure, and other critical functions directly from a tablet or truck-mounted interface.

The SAM system helps firefighters set up water flow and pressure quickly and accurately, minimizing delays in getting water to the scene.  This rapid deployment can be crucial for saving lives and property in time-sensitive situations.  By automating many tasks, the SAM system allows operators to focus on situational awareness and decision-making, improving overall scene safety.

The SAM system's intuitive interface reduces the learning curve for new volunteers. With less time spent mastering traditional pump operations, volunteers can focus on other essential firefighting skills.  The automated system monitors and adjusts pressure and flow in real-time to prevent mistakes that could lead to over-pressurizing hoses or running out of water from a limited supply.  Consistent flow pressure can also reduce wear and tear on equipment.
