Departinent is called and rushes to the
scene, They are informed someone is
inside a burning house. They move
into an already dangerous situation
unaware that the person inside may
have diabetes, heart disease or some
other medical condition that could
complicate matters, Suddenly the risks
of survival increase. CAD is designed
to give firefighters more information
so they can be prepared todeal with an
emergency situation in the most
_ efficient and effective manner.

or disability (i.e. diabetes, heart
disease, communicable diseases,
allergies, wheelchair, etc.) can send
- their pertinent information to the City
Fire Department to be entered in the

fire oran emergency at your home, the
