Where it Started
In June of 2023, Active911 partnered with Honeywell to provide our Firefighters with more contextual information when responding to a fire. Today, we are excited to share the fruits of our partnership – CLSS Contextual Information for First Responders.
Honeywell’s Connected Life Safety Services (CLSS) is an all-in-one cloud platform that integrates with a building’s fire system to capture and share contextual fire alarm data to stakeholders across the industry including monitoring centers, 911 dispatch centers, and first responders.
When Dispatch sends you to a fire call, Active911 will ping CLSS for contextual information directly from that building’s fire alarm panel to better inform your response. Active911 will check for this contextual information both at the dispatch address you’re heading to and at any nearby buildings. If CLSS has information available, it will be viewable at the bottom of the alert. This information will remain tied to the alert indefinitely.
CLSS Contextual Information is available for those buildings that have opted into the CLSS ecosystem. Honeywell is working to connect every building in the U.S. to CLSS to maximize effectiveness for firefighters.
How it works
When you click on an event that has CLSS Contextual Information, it will show responding firefighters the following information:
- Event Description
- Zone Label
- Point description (Location where the event was triggered)
- How the alarm was initiated (Smoke Detector or Pull Station)
- Date and time the alarm was triggered at the panel
- Event source (Honeywell CLSS)
You’ll also receive the building information as listed below:
- City
- Building name
- Street
- Contact information for the building
