The Fire Zone - First Look Pro Testimonials

Here is what others have to say!

We think our programs are the best, but just in case you don't believe us, here is what other firefighters and fire investigators have to say!

Captian Val Codino, Canby F.D. (OR):
"It's all about saving lives and The Fire Zone and First Look Pro help us do it. They allow us to quickly draw and access high quality pre-fire plans that show the critical information we need to safely do our jobs. We've used The Fire Zone since 1997!"

Shane Moss, Clemmons F.D. (NC):
"Great product! We have been using The Fire Zone for years and it has saved us an incredible amount of time on prefire surveys."

Chief Ken Burdette, Central Kitsap Fire & Rescue (WA):
"First Look Pro allows us to quickly and easily retrieve all the information we need, including text, our Fire Zone pre-fire diagrams, maps and photographs. It's all coordinated."

Fire Rescue Magazine, "Gear Test" Sept 2003, Greg Jakubowski, author:
"The folks at The CAD Zone are trying everything they can to make preplanning easier... They have created a preplan organizing software program that not only views drawings and photos, but also organizes preplans in a computer database, allowing easy access to preplan information in the field. This software is known as First Look Pro."

Mike Wykoff, Jackson Twp F.D. (OH):
"I've been using Fire Zone for 6 years and would not consider any other diagramming program! Keep up the great work!"

Firehouse Magazine,"Pre-fire Planning: New Technology, Tailored Software", April 2004:
"First Look Pro complements The Fire Zone by letting fire personnel organize and locate pre-fire plan diagrams and information within seconds. By simply selecting an address, occupancy name or pre-plan identification number, the incident commander has immediate access to all the pre-fire plan information that is critical to the firefighting effort."

Robert Tyminski, Selfridge Air Guard (MI):
"I have been using it now for over 7 years. This software is the best way to turn out quality pre-fire plans!"

Captain Chris Nelson, Wilmington F.D. (NC):
"We have been using The Fire Zone and First Look Pro for a couple of years now, and I can honestly say both are essential to our preplanning efforts. First Look Pro is hands down the best preplan program I have seen. With the addition of Mobile Data Terminals on our trucks, First Look Pro will give us the information we need out in the field quickly and efficiently. The ability to retrieve details on a building in an easy to read format while enroute or on scene is a major advantage. Thanks for a great product that definitely has firefighters in mind."
  
Fire Marshal Stephen Ludwig, Middletown Division of Fire (OH):
"Great Product! It is very easy to use."

Battalion Chief Ralph Catlett, Valdosta F.D. (GA):

Steven Gann, B.D.R. District One F.D. (AR):

Captain William Anderson, Delaware F.D. (OH):
"Excellent Product! Very easy for anyone to use and simple to install."

Greg Jakubowski, software reviewer, Fire Rescue Magazine, September 2003:
"I spoke with several chief officers who use First Look Pro in their departments. The feedback was quite positive.... they found FLP easy to use and flexible, allowing the departments to input basic information and add to it during future inspections. When I tried the program for the first time, we were inputting data within 5 minutes of loading the software onto the computer."

Nick Menechella, Miller Place F.D. (NY):
"This is the best Preplan Software package I have ever seen. Keep up the good work!"

"I have found it to be very easy to use. The learning curve was very short, especially when you follow the step-by-step tutorials."

Matt Starr, South Elgin F.D. (IL):
"I would highly recommend the use of First Look Pro to organize your preplans. Not only can you catalog preplans, but you can also incorporate digital photos into the database as well. If this seems hard, don't worry because The CAD Zone's technical support has been outstanding! I can't imagine how I would have ever kept our preplans in order or made them so easily accessible without First Look Pro."

Robert Berliew, Sr. Fire Protection Specialist, DynMcDermott Petroleum:
"I use The Fire Zone to develop pre-fire plans, facility drawings, hazardous materials and security training scenarios, and post-incident critiques, among others. The Fire Zone does exactly what we need, is easy to learn and use and doesn't require an engineering background to master. At least once a week another organization asks us to develop a diagram for their use. I highly recommend The Fire Zone for anyone."

Chris Dollarton, Cherry Hill F.D. (NJ):
"Awesome!! This is the easiest and most comprehensive method yet for pre-planning our community. It's really made a difference!"

Greg Sherman, Carrboro F.D. (NC):
"Thanks to your Technical Support staff for all their friendly help as I got to know the program!"

Capt. John C. Browning, Lockhart Fire & Rescue (TX):
"The more I play with it the more I understand. All in all, The Fire Zone has been very user friendly."

Mark Felts, Pinecroft - Sedgefield F.D.:
"I like it, I use it, I teach it! My department has been a Fire Zone user since 1997!"

"We've used Fire Zone a lot for making very detailed pre-plans just for our safety and the community's safety. With First Look Pro, we can view the pre-plans on our laptops in the engine and figure out where the hazards are going to be - while we're on the way to the fire."
