Webinar - Cellular Data: The Crucial Link in Department and Operation Management

Advancing technology has changed the way firefighters and emergency responders do their jobs. Cellular service has become imperative to effectively respond to and mitigate emergency incidents. Likewise, fire service officials and first responders can use tools available from providers to better handle the administrative and business functions that impact departments. Today departments have access to FirstNet and its priority and preemption to meet these needs and more effectively deal with existing and emerging threats. Join the NVFC and presenter Reid Vaughan for this webinar that discusses how technology influences our work in the field and factors impacting the use of technology on the job, with a special focus on FirstNet.

The NVFC has partnered with FirstNet®, Built with AT&T to bring this webinar topic to you. FirstNet is the only network built with and for America's first responders—including volunteer firefighters. With the nation's largest coverage footprint, first responders get prioritized access to the network, never competing with commercial traffic. Learn more at FirstNet.com/fire
