The Annual Fire and Rescue International Show was held in Dallas, Texas in August of this year. It featured the latest in fire and rescue equipment and technology and is attended by fire department officials from all over the world.
This year, Frontline Communications and Pierce Manufacturing showcased a Command Post Vehicle that they custom-built for the Frisco Texas Fire Department. It features the latest in satellite, video and communication technologies. It houses 10 different monitors, radio and telephone communications and 6 work stations, each with a laptop computer. It also has a large conference room in the back of the vehicle where fire and other emergency officials can strategize for large incidents and events.
WTI’s (Wireless Technology, Inc.) High Definition and Standard Definition Sidewinder Cameras were featured on the two masts on the command vehicle. The Standard Definition Sidewinder P/T/Z camera provides 360° continuous rotation on both pan and tilt axes with 35X optical zoom and 12X digital zoom for high quality, long range viewing of large events, hot spots and other fire or medical incidents.
The High Definition Sidewinder camera features 360° continuous pan rotation and + or - 90° tilt rotation, 1080I/720P HD, 16:9 widescreen format, 10X optical zoom with a 10X digital zoom. The Sidewinder cameras offer the ability of close-up facial and body recognition shots. Both SD and HD Sidewinder are color day and black and white nighttime vision cameras.

Another Sidewinder (standard definition) camera was displayed on the mast of the Frontline Communications’ demonstration command vehicle.
This vehicle has 4 monitors inside with a flat screen TV / monitor on the outside. This vehicle is a smaller version of the command post vehicles Frontline builds for its clients but it does still house the latest in video, satellite and communication technologies.
WTI’s Sidewinder cameras were just some of the highlights of Frontline Communications and Pierce Manufacturing vehicles at this year’s FRI Show. WTI is working very closely with Frontline Communications and Pierce Manufacturing to improve the technologies throughout the entire fire and command post vehicle industry.
Together WTI and Pierce have developed a wireless camera system specifically for Aerial Fire Trucks. The video is transmitted wirelessly from a Sidewinder camera back down to the truck for better view of the surrounding fire hot spots, to assist in looking for survivors or any other emergency incidents in the area where the aerial truck has been deployed. The video can also be viewed on a laptop with wireless connectivity via an IP address. This means that the Chief or the command post can both view the video from the aerial truck from remote locations.
Frontline Communications and Pierce Manufacturing have also installed Sidewinder cameras on military vehicles and television ENG vans for the broadcast industry.
