The Fylde System used for the command and control centres, enables efficient management and co-ordination of the rescue teams, in the event of fire, accidents, emergencies or natural disasters.

The Fylde system was chosen for its reliability. With some of the sites only being accessible for a few months of the year continuous operation is of paramount importance This regional system has been fully operational for over 10 years without a single outage. The system is currently undergoing expansion.

24 Hour Dual Control Centres The hardware at the custom designed command centres is identical and both can be either operated independent or in parallel. All operational data and status information is displayed in real time and can be monitored at all operator positions. The system is linked to a pan-regional ‘ring’ network via a 24-channel 1.5GHz microwave link. A 2 Mbps leased line connection between the control centres serves as a backup system.
