VIDEO: The Roswell Fire Department is one of just 10 departments nationwide selected to participate in a pioneering program with Qwake Technologies that could revolutionize the way firefighters operate inside burning structures. The city is partnering with Qwake to implement a new high-tech helmet system that equips firefighters with a 3D display and real-time communication tools directly embedded into their helmets. The system allows firefighters to visually scan a scene with enhanced visibility and communicate directly with incident commandersโall hands-free. Roswell was chosen for the pilot program because of its commitment to innovation, according to Qwake Technologies. The city will spend just under $300,000 over three years to implement and evaluate the system.
