Fire Department alerting system

[daniel_medic]

Hi members

So I work on a military base in Afghanistan as the comm center manager for ARFF and structural/domestic fire department. I have been tasked with upgrading our comm center and I am at the stage of finding a new alerting system/crash alarm/public address system. We would require the system to have at a minimum the following options.

• Triggering of the alarm from the comm center and ATC.
• Remote audio and visual alerting for multiple locations (Main Station, Crew room, admin/chiefs offices, Structural Station)
• Public address feature with the ability to select which areas to broadcast to.
• Ability to program multiple alarm tones, crash and structural.

I would appreciate any input on this subject as all google searches have turned up not too much information. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would highly appreciate it.
