Fire Management
Using a well-functioning Fire Management Software (FMS) is crucial to perform critical tasks in the most stressful situations. There is no room for error as one mistake in the software can cause damage and even threaten to steal lives. Read more below for more information.
What is Fire Management ?
FMS is a system that will allow you to design, to manage, to plan, and to coordinate fire safety procedures in their entirety. This intends at preventing and reducing potential fire hazards. Thanks to a Fire Management Software, your fire related systems such as fire detection system, fire protection system, and fire alarm system, will be able to be connected and integrated to different subsystems.
In the event of an incident, the fire detection systems will detect the fire with a heat detector and the information will be transmitted directly to the FMS which will locate the fire. An alarm will be activated to alert the floor and it will make itself visible through a visual and audible alarm on the FMS. The fire protection system is automatically activated causing sprinklers and gas to trigger automatically. The operator sees the automatic activation on the FMS interface and can immediately contact the fire department by telephone.
With FMS all fire subsystems can be integrated, but to have better security it is a better practice to integrate FMS with other security systems such as CCTV to have footage of fire events and access control data to know who entered and left the building. All this is possible by connecting all subsystems in a centralized PSIM platform.
The fire management software features
The fire management software will allow you to perform a multitude of actions thanks to its numerous functionalities. All these features will be visible via the user interface which will allow you to have an optimal management on the fire safety.

Video wall
Visualise your fire systems with the cameras installed in your infrastructure via the video wall
User management
Manage the rights of your users and decide on the actions of each one
Incident manager
Predefine the manual or automatic actions to be taken during an incident via workflows
Reports and statistics
Generate reports and statistics on your incidents but also on your systems
What are the benefits of using a fire management software?
Used to ensure optimal safety in your building, the fms will provide you with real advantages because it is specific to fire management. Inhabitants, systems and equipment can be protected effectively.
Global vision
The FMS allows your operators to have a global view of your fire system thanks to real-time information feedback from fire subsystems. All of this is visible directly on the FMS interface.
Centralizing all fire systems
All of the fire related subsystems can be integrated in the FMS. This allows you to have all the data available at any given time to manage your fire as quickly as possible.
Who is involved in the use of a fire management?
The fire management software is a platform that will allow you to perform a wide variety of actions. Mainly, it is the operators who will ensure fire safety, however the safety manager and the management team can receive information related to the fire in order to take the necessary measures.
Operators
The operator in charge of fire safety will be able to manage the systems, ensure the safety of the inhabitants by alerting them and also set up actions in coordination with the responders to solve the fire as quickly as possible.
Security managers
Its mission is mainly to set up the processes, whether manual or automatic, to manage the various fires. Indeed, the processes (workflows) will allow to establish actions in a very organized way in order to respond most efficiently to the fire.
Board members
The management team will mainly measure the impact of actions on the safety of the building and take the necessary measures to optimise safety, in cooperation with the safety manager. Indeed, safety in a building is one of the most important elements and it is essential to be able to make improvements to improve the results of the actions.
What does our Sky-Walker fire management software look like?
The fire management software is mainly composed of 2 screens. On the first screen you will be able to see your building in its entirety with the fire management systems specific to fire safety such as the fire detection system, the fire detection heads, the smoke detectors, the sprinklers, etc... The alarms will be able to be visualized in direct on this screen; you will also be able to decide on the organisation for viewing your cameras.
The second screen will mainly allow you to intervene on the fire, with in particular procedure sheets that your operators will fill in to intervene efficiently on the fire. Similarly, you will be able to view the fire scene in real time with a camera wall consisting of one, two or even more cameras.
Both interfaces of the two screens are 100% customisable, whether it is the fire safety systems with their icons, the number of buildings and floors, the manual or automatic processes, the number of cameras, etc...
