The first department is already on the platform

Holyrood Fire Department, in Holyrood, Newfoundland and Labrador, is running the first live RespAI pilot. Sensors ride on the self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), volatile organic compound (VOC) dose streams to the chief dashboard, and every call a crew runs adds to a firefighter’s career exposure record.

First Pilot

Holyrood Fire Department

Here is what the deployment looks like at Holyrood, in the gear the department already owned.

Sensors on SCBA, data on the dashboard

Holyrood firefighters respond with RespAI’s multi-gas detector mounted on the SCBA they already wear. Nothing was reissued, and no response procedure had to be rewritten.

  • Total VOC exposure per firefighter, totalled live in ppm·minutes
  • Exposure reaches the dashboard while the call is still running
  • The chief sees who is taking on exposure without asking over the radio

Every response adds to the record

Each Holyrood firefighter has been building a career exposure record since the sensors went on. Every incident is written down as it happens, and cannot be changed later.

  • Per-firefighter exposure history, private to the member
  • Department-wide view for the chief
  • Auditable documentation aligned with NFPA guidance and your occupational health regulator’s expectations

How a Pilot Works

Live data from the first shift

Three steps. Only the first one asks anything of your department.

01

Mount on

The multi-gas detector rides on the SCBA your department already runs. It totals a firefighter’s VOC exposure over the call, plus carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, combustible gas, and oxygen for acute safety. It is rugged, and there is nothing extra to carry.

02

Respond as usual

Your crew works the incident the way they always have. Dose adds up as they work. Incident command gets an alert the moment a member passes a threshold set by published exposure standards.

03

Watch the record build

The chief watches department-wide exposure on the dashboard while the incident is still open. Underneath that, each firefighter’s record grows one response at a time, and nothing already written can be changed later.

Why Pilot RespAI

What early departments get

Pilot departments start measuring exposure now. They also get a say in what gets built next, while the platform is still taking shape.

No rollout project

Exposure shows up on the dashboard the day the sensors go on, not after a months-long integration. Dose, alerts, and the chief view all work from the start.

Nothing new to carry

The detector mounts on standard SCBA. There is no second piece of kit for a firefighter to grab on the way out the door.

Records that hold up

The record is written as the call runs, and it cannot be edited afterward. Nobody in your department has to fill in a form for any of it.

Built by firefighters

One of our founders spent 10 years on the frontline. The gear was designed around how a call runs, not around a spec sheet.

Your department could be next

IARC, the WHO’s cancer agency, classified occupational exposure as a firefighter as Group 1 in 2022: carcinogenic to humans. Departments that start measuring now will have the records, and the warnings, when a member needs them.

Run RespAI with your crews

We’ll walk your team through the platform and fit sensors to the SCBA you already run. Your chief sees exposure data while crews are on scene. Ask what the Holyrood pilot took, and you’ll get a straight answer.

Questions before you commit?

You’ll talk to the founders, not a sales team: the firefighter who lived this problem and the engineer who built the sensor platform. Ask about the hardware, the data, or what a pilot really costs your department in time.
