In this webinar, Daniel Haight (President, Darkhorse Emergency) and Darrell Reid (VP of Strategy and former CAO and Fire Chief) explore how predictive analytics, data visualization, and interactive tools are revolutionizing how fire services report, prioritize, and communicate performance. Designed for fire chiefs, CAOs, analysts, and accreditation leads, this webinar moves beyond compliance to show how data can truly drive smarter decisions, stronger teams, and safer communities.
What You’ll Learn
1. The Value of Every Second
- Learn why even 10-second reductions in turnout or dispatch time can yield life-saving improvements—equivalent to adding an entire station or staffed unit.
- Explore real-world case studies quantifying the impact of faster responses, including a model city analysis showing up to 25 additional lives saved per year with minor improvements.
2. Smart Tools for Smarter Investments
- See live demos of the Darkhorse Deployment tool showing how response performance can improve by refining setup times, rebalancing catchment zones, or strategically adding resources.
- Understand how to prioritize investments using a data-driven impact model—showing council exactly how each improvement (from traffic preemption to repositioning units) moves the dial.
3. Communicating with Council, City Managers, and Staff
- Get practical advice on tailoring messages to decision-makers, including ward-level performance comparisons, insurance implications, and staff engagement strategies.
- Learn how transparency and data sharing builds trust, drives internal performance, and secures funding.
4. Data-Driven Prevention
- Discover how targeted prevention programs (e.g., smoke alarm checks, fall prevention, high-user outreach) reduce incidents by up to 50% and save as many lives as traditional emergency response investments.
- Shift from reactive to proactive operations using tools like Darkhorse Risk, which help prioritize CRR efforts with demographic overlays and local data.
5. Full Ownership & Long-Term Support
- Hear how Darkhorse’s “teach you to fish” model empowers departments to run their own analyses independently—supported by monthly sessions with dedicated FHIR analysts who know both the tools and the fire service.
