Industry:
Solution:
Serving a community of approximately 181,000 residents across 35 square miles, Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue (FL) is one of Broward County’s largest and most dynamic departments. With six stations and approximately 50 personnel per shift, operational readiness is more than a goal: it’s a necessity. To meet the growing demands of their service area, Pembroke Pines turned to Vector Check It, a comprehensive asset and equipment management solution in Vector Solutions’ unified agency readiness platform.
From Paper Logs to Instant Insight
Before implementing Vector Check It, Pembroke Pines relied on paper systems to monitor daily truck checks, gear inventories, and controlled substances.
Vector Check It has helped Pembroke Pines increase its overall efficiency of tracking controlled substances and improve reporting and organization throughout the department. Each morning, apparatus and equipment checks are logged digitally, right from a phone or tablet in the mobile app. If an issue is found, it’s instantly flagged and routed for resolution, eliminating downtime and ensuring every unit is ready for the mission.
Managing Gear and PPE with Precision
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is critical to firefighter safety, and Pembroke Pines uses Vector Check It to stay on top of every detail. The department tracks expiration dates, damage, and missing gear—all within the same platform.
“Each individual’s gear is set up in Vector so it’s easily accessible for our administration,” the lieutenant noted. “It keeps accountability and, most of all, it controls the safety.”
Secure Controlled Substance Oversight
The mighty mobile application also plays a crucial role in controlled substance management. At the touch of a finger, authorized personnel can record use, replacement, and verification, ensuring compliance and transparency across all shifts.
“When it comes to controlled substances, we have everything right in front of us,” the lieutenant said. “If we use a controlled substance and need it replaced, it’s done instantly on Vector Check It.”
A Unified Platform for Operational Readiness
By moving from paper to a single digital platform, Pembroke Pines gained a comprehensive view of its operations. From equipment and inventory to apparatus and PPE, everything is now tracked and managed in real time.
“Check It has provided us with the ability to manage equipment, supplies, inventory, apparatus, and controlled substances, all in a single application that’s easily accessible from both desktop and mobile,” the assistant division chief shared.
Setting a Standard for Modern Fire Service Management
For Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue, Vector Check It has proven to be a true “one-stop shop” for asset management. The department’s experience underscores how technology can strengthen accountability, enhance readiness, and ultimately improve safety for firefighters and the communities they serve.
