Product Description

Turnout Timer powered by VizAlert™

The Turnout Timer powered by VizAlert™ is designed to improve turnout times by keeping all responders on the same page with real time turnout times. It gives a clear, visual count up tied to an actual dispatch, instead of just guessing how fast or slow you are moving.

Why the Turnout Timer Exists

The Turnout Timer exists so crews can see time passing as they move from bunk to bay. It turns “we should move faster” into something you can actually see and improve.

How it Works

The Turnout Timer ties into a VizAlert™ in key locations such as near the apparatus, along the path from bunks, or by the gear rack.

When the CCU activates an alert, the VizAlert™ triggers the Turnout Timer. The timer can either count up from zero or count down from a target time, depending on how you want to use it. Crews see the numbers as they move, so they know if they are ahead of pace or falling behind.

It is a simple visual reminder that time matters, without someone harping on the crew from the sidelines.

Key Features

  • Linked to real calls
    The timer starts when the alert is triggered, not when someone decides to hit a stopwatch.
  • Highly visible
    Mounted where crews naturally look on the way to the apparatus.
  • Adjustable behavior
    Can be configured to count up or down, depending on your preference and policies.

How the Turnout Timer Fits into the EaseAlert System

The Turnout Timer powered by VizAlert™ takes the signal from the CCU and turns it into a clear visual metric on the wall.

It pairs especially well with Display Boards giving you live feedback on turnout performance.

Common Questions

Is this turnout time going to be held against me?
The Turnout Timer is just a local clock that does not have historic reporting. So no, these turnout times are not stored for reporting purposes and cannot be held against the responders. If you’re looking for historical reporting, the EaseAlert® Dispatch Console is the tool for you.

Can we set our own target times?
Yes, turnout expectations can be set by the department, and the timer behavior can be configured to match.
