25. A method for identifying available resources for responding to an incident, the method comprising:
-
receiving a communication from each of a plurality of first responders, the communication being generated by at least one of a hybrid tone pager that includes a UHF/VHF receiver to receive a response request and a one-touch user input to generate the communication, a radio frequency identification device that generates the communication in a proximal range of a communication receiver, and a global positioning device that generates the communication; processing each communication to generate response status information for each of the plurality of first responders; sending the response status information for each of the plurality of first responders to a remote program; displaying the response status information for each of the plurality of first responders on a graphical user interface generated by the remote program; and displaying response status information for each of a plurality of fire stations of a fire department and a total number of responders for the fire department on the graphical user interface.
