Highly visible, high-stakes environments like the World Cup require emergency responders to prepare for a wide range of potential risks, from accidental incidents to intentional chemical, biological, radiological and other public safety threats. Connected to the\u00a0Blackline Live cloud platform,<\/a>\u00a0EXO technology provides incident commanders with real-time visibility into conditions, ensuring rescue teams can respond quickly if needed.<\/p>\n \u201cThese are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, and being asked to protect such a large event is incredible,\u201d said Marcel Berube, Hazmat, Logistics and Training Lieutenant with the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department in Florida. \u201cYou\u2019re there in case anything happens, and you have a product that\u2019s going to assist you to help everybody if needed.\u201d<\/p>\n Of the eight devices deployed, four are EXO 8 area monitors, equipped to detect up to eight gases plus gamma radiation, as well as four G7 EXOs, EXO 8\u2019s predecessor. The monitors transmit readings live over a cellular network to Blackline Live software that act as a central command platform for the fire crew, giving them the instant data to make fast decisions if needed. Its long-lasting battery means no downtime throughout the tournament.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery day, our technology helps protect workers in some of the world\u2019s most demanding environments,\u201d said\u00a0Cody Slater<\/a>, CEO, Blackline Safety. \u201cAt events like the World Cup, or the\u00a0Winter Olympics in Italy earlier this year,<\/a>\u00a0that same mission extends beyond the worksite to help emergency responders protect the hundreds of thousands of people who have gathered to experience something unforgettable.\u201d<\/p>\n This deployment reflects the growing role of connected safety technology in public event security. Increasingly, fire departments and emergency management organizations are adopting cloud-connected monitoring solutions that provide greater visibility, faster communication, and improved coordination during planned events and emergency response operations.<\/p>\n Berube and his team were even able to use the data from Blackline\u2019s platform to inform the entire Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), a coordinated group of agencies including police, FBI, and more.<\/p>\n Blackline Safety worked closely with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue throughout planning and deployment to configure the system, support implementation, and help ensure the technology was ready for operational use before fans arrived.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery experience I\u2019ve had with Blackline has been great,\u201d Berube said. \u201cThe support is excellent. If you have a question, they run you through it without a problem, and everyone is very helpful. Every time I\u2019ve had an issue, problem, question, they\u2019ve been very supportive.\u201d<\/p>\n About Blackline Safety:\u00a0Blackline Safety is a technology leader driving innovation in the industrial workforce through IoT (Internet of Things).
