The City of Greer Fire Department wants businesses and people living in Greer to know about a life saving tool.
“The good thing about this, as you can give us as much or as little information as you want,” Fire Marshal Scott Keeley said.
As Fire Marshall Scott Keeley explains, Community Connect is a system that allows for extra information to be added to a location in case of an emergency.
“For residents they can put in as much utilities shut offs. If they have someone in the home that has a special needs that they need during an emergency event put in contact information they can even put in pictures of their pets their pets names,” Keeley said.
Business owners can also put in after-hours access information and emergency contacts.
“And this information is loaded up in a secure platform that we use as a record management system, and when we go on a call at populates into our mobile data terminals in our vehicles,” Keeley said.
The Fire Department can only access the information through the CAD system when they are responding to a specific location. Keeley says the more people put information into the system, the safer it will keep everyone.
“Right now we probably have about 275 of our residents that have entered information into the portal,” Keeley said
