ZETRON
Public Safety Dispatch Centers can dispatch a piece of fire fighting equipment or ambulance, an entire station, or multiple stations from the push of a few buttons. This is one of the applications Zetron offers.

Zetron's Fire Station Alerting System allows a single communication center to efficiently respond to emergencies by managing the assets of multiple fire stations. This is found in the Model 6/26 Fire Station Alerting System.

The Model 26 status/control panel provides centralized control of remote fire stations. Up to 240 user-defined buttons with LED status indicators allows the operator to select targeted fire stations, send alerts, and control auxiliary equipment. Changes in the status of personnel and vehicles are reflected on the Model 6 and Model 26 status indicators. Visual indications help the operator select which stations should respond, as well as determine which vehicles are available, which have already been dispatched, which are out of service, and so forth.
