First Look Pro is the best pre-incident planning software available today.

How can we make such a bold statement? Because our users regularly tell us it is true! Like Steven Hoak of the Brookville V.F.C., who said:

“The CAD Zone programs are a great asset to our fire company. We have a laptop computer on our first responding engine that runs First Look Pro, and it is a life saver.
It is the best pre-planning strategy software available.”

Think of First Look Pro as a replacement for those 3-ring binders of pre-plans everyone used to carry around on their Fire Department vehicles, except First Look Pro lets you have more information about more buildings and access faster! First Look Pro takes up a lot less space in your truck, too! Here are some of the easy-to-read pre-plan screens in First Look Pro. You can fill in as much, or as little information as you want.

 

What is the building construction?
List the building construction class, roof construction, size of the building, and required fire flow. Choose your preferred fire flow calculation, either Iowa State or NFA.

How do we get in?
See the best way to gain access to the site and the building, including lock box, alarm panel, and annunciator locations.
Where is the water?
Display your list of hydrants and alternate water supplies for each site, including volume data and pipe diameters. Change the order to put the preferred source first.

Protection and Shut-offs
Instantly see sprinkler type, FDC and standpipe locations, gas, electrical, and water shut-off locations.

What about HazMat?
Display hazardous material type, DOT ID number, quantity, and location. Instant access to the entire DOT ERG! Change the order of materials to put the most critical items first.
What's our strategy?
Add strategy and mutual aid notes. All notes can be viewed in a small preview window or full screen.



Who do we call?
Show a list of responsible parties with
multiple phone numbers.

 

 

Do we have floor plans?  è
Add as many Fire Zone floor plan diagrams, and photos as you want. Just click through them to view each image in the preview window or at full screen. You can attach any type of file here - Word documents, .pdf files, even Visio files. First Look Pro will launch that program when you want to view the attachment.
