South Yorkshire Fire Service hosts national conference on data mapping

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue has hosted a national data and mapping conference attended by fire services from across the UK.

Faced with reduced budgets and changing demands, many fire services are recognising the key role that geographic information systems can play.

Watch Manager Graham Howe said: “Events like this are an important way for fire services to come together and learn how to make the most of the benefits systems like this can provide, ultimately helping to improve outcomes for the communities we are here to protect.”
