1. A system for communicating information to emergency response personnel comprising:
- an emergency equipment station that includes;
an emergency assistance device; and
a sensor configured to sense at least one predetermined condition; and
a central station located remotely from the emergency equipment station and in communication with the emergency equipment station, the central station configured to receive data indicating the at least one predetermined condition and transmit data indicating a sensed condition to a communications device associated with emergency response personnel.

Abstract
Emergency equipment stations (e.g., fire extinguisher stations, fire alarm pull stations, defibrillator stations, etc.) distributed throughout a facility monitor one or more internal or external conditions (e.g., ambient air temperature near the station, presence of an obstruction restricting access to the station, etc.) and relay information about the monitored conditions to a central station. The central station transmits information about the monitored conditions to emergency response personnel (e.g., the fire department) in the event of an actual or apparent emergency.

70. A method for communicating information to emergency response personnel comprising:
-
providing a system of emergency equipment stations installed throughout one or more buildings, wherein at least some of the emergency equipment stations are configured to sense the presence of an obstruction restricting access to the emergency equipment station and, in response to sensing presence of an obstruction, generate a signal indicating the presence of an obstruction restricting access to the emergency equipment station; monitoring the system of emergency equipment stations for a signal indicating the presence of an obstruction restricting access to the emergency equipment station; in response to receiving a signal indicating the presence of an obstruction, generating a message indicating the presence of an obstruction restricting access to the emergency equipment station at which the obstruction was sensed. - View Dependent Claims (71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76)
