As many incidents involve not just firefighters, but law enforcement, EMS, and EMA responders as well, Griffin’s system provides the ability to manage those personnel on a scene. With this, an incident manager gains more thorough situational awareness and can make better informed decisions about crews and individual players on a scene; who is deployed, who is searching, who is in recovery, and so on. Incident managers can also use the system to log events, benchmarks and other important specifics of an event, all of which are time-stamped and saved automatically up to 100 events.

Incident managers input the type of attack which, in the systems, defines the scene being handled. As chaotic as scenes are, an important feature of the system is the par slider. This feature gives visual and audible reminders to check on crews. The interval at which the reminders are given is adjustable to as frequently as every 1 minute or as high as 20 minutes. Once completed, the incident manager logs it as either Ok or Failed. Each par is time-stamped and logged in the event log. All of these features allow for personnel management which is backed up and available for future after action reviews and incident reconstruction.
The screen shots below offer several views into the capabilities of the system:
