(CHANDLER, AZ - June 1, 1999) - Officials of Chandler, AZ based FieldSoft, Inc., announced today that the Silver Spring, Maryland Volunteer Fire Department elected to run FD-onScene command, accountability and pre-plan software on the Panasonic M33 handheld computer. Silver Spring incident commanders now have a portable command system that can be stored in a briefcase, on a desk, or in a glove box. Moreover, the "Ultra-brite" computer screen display means the software and hardware can be effectively used in either direct sunlight or inside a mobile command post.

FieldSoft applications are used by incident commanders to manage people, resources, and events while on the scene of an emergency. The software automates most – if not all -- incident management functions formerly handled with pen and paper based worksheets, checklists or marker boards. "Silver Spring is the first FieldSoft customer to buy our software and the M33 computer as a bundle", stated FieldSoft spokesperson Mark Bouchard. "The purchase means that the agency has acquired a powerful and multi-faceted tool that can run administrative or operational software nearly anywhere they need to", Bouchard added.

FieldSoft, Inc. is the leading US based provider of information products used for automated incident management, firefighter accountability, and incident preplanning. The product line includes FD-onScene and PD-onScene. Both products enhance responder safety and survival, overall response effectiveness, and narrative reporting accuracy. Bottom line results of software use are reduced costs for emergency response agencies in both the public and private sectors. FieldSoft products are marketed and sold through a network of value added resellers, network integrators and public safety equipment manufacturers. The company, headquartered in Chandler, AZ., is located at 610 N. Alma School Road, Suite 18-305, chandler, AZ 85224, telephone 602-899-2198, fax 602-899-8123 and www.fieldsoft.com.
