Acting on further data, the IAED decided that FPDS v7.0 needed to move away from the prevailing “shelter in place until the firefighters arrive” position and instruction in instances where death is imminent. Catastrophic even data also showed that emergency resources were quickly depleted, delaying first responder arrivals or even making them impossible. The IAED saw a crucial opportunity to create these new protocols and make changes to current ones.ĭata showed that six new rescue scenarios would be beneficial and that these would help the emergency dispatcher send a more informed response earlier in the questioning sequence. In recent years, there has been an escalation in deaths from fires and these related incidents. The decision to make these significant changes largely came from an increase in catastrophic events and record numbers of callers requesting assistance. The IAED is also excited to announce that version 7.0 also includes six new protocols, which will place the emergency dispatcher in a role as a rescuer. Version 7.0 includes adjustments to existing Pre-Arrival Instructions (PAIs) and Post-Dispatch Instruction (PDIs), which will more effectively assist emergency dispatchers as they guide callers through lifesaving actions while waiting for firefighters and other emergency personnel to arrive on the scene. In what is the largest FPDS release to date, this new version implements revisions from more than 200 proposals from change. FPDS version 7.0 includes significant changes and new additions in an effort to help emergency dispatchers send a faster, more informed response. The International Academies of Emergency Dispatch ® (IAED™) Fire Council of Standards has approved the release of an updated version of the Fire Priority Dispatch System ™ (FPDS ®).
