Streamlining Fire Department Equipment Management featuring Scott Bergeron with PS Trax

In this episode, we sit down with PS Trax, a cloud-based program that automates truck and equipment checks for fire departments and first responder agencies. The program tracks inventory, expiration dates, and narcotics to ensure that departments are not losing money due to expired drugs, or maintenance issues, and assists first responders with daily inventory. We also talk about the importance of getting buy-in from crews to ensure that software is not just "shelfware". Listen in as we share personal stories about our experiences with the first responder life. Finally, we discuss the importance of fire crews working together as a team and how PS Trax can help with real-time reporting of equipment issues.
