Use Fire Safety Survey

The Fire Safety Survey solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you perform fire safety surveys and monitor the progress of firefighters performing routine fire safety surveys.

In this topic, you’ll learn how to use the solution by assuming the role of a user and performing the workflows below.

Note:

Use your organization's data or configured apps to follow these workflows.

Conduct Fire Safety Survey

Fire Safety Survey allows firefighters in the field to conduct fire safety surveys of dwellings using a smartphone or tablet.

In this workflow, you’ll learn how to use the Fire Safety Survey map in ArcGIS Field Maps to document a fire safety survey during a dwelling inspection. You will assume the role of a firefighter. You are asked to use the ArcGIS Field Maps mobile app to access your Fire Safety Survey map and document fire safety inspections you perform in the field.

1. If necessary, download ArcGIS Field Maps onto your mobile device.
2. On your mobile device, open the app, and then sign in to your ArcGIS organization.
3. Tap Fire Safety Survey to open the map.
4. Search for an address, and then, in the results list, tap the address to zoom to that location on the map.
5. Tap the plus sign or Collect Here to open the survey form.

   Note:

   Your interface will vary depending on the type of mobile device that you use.

6. Tap Yes to collect survey information.
7. Complete the form with as much information as possible.
8. At the upper right, tap the check mark or Submit to submit the form.

   If necessary, a submitted form can be edited.

9. On the map, tap the point to open the form.
10. At the lower left, tap Edit, and then make any necessary changes to the form.
11. Tap the check mark or Submit to resubmit the form.
12. At the lower right, tap More Options to see additional options.
13. At the lower middle, tap Copy to complete another survey and add it to the map.

Monitor Fire Safety Survey inspections

The Fire Safety Survey Dashboard can be used by fire department personnel to monitor the progress of the fire safety program. It allows the viewer to see the locations where surveys were completed. You can also use it to find areas at risk in the community.

You will now assume the role of fire command staff to monitor how many safety inspections have been completed and review the results of those surveys.

1. In a browser, sign in to your ArcGIS organization, and then browse to the Fire Safety Survey solution.
2. View the Fire Safety Survey Dashboard app.

   On the right, in the Surveys panel, all submitted inspections are listed. At the top of the panel, the total number of surveys appears.

3. On the left, use filters to refine the results by occupant type, survey status, or date.

   When you filter results, the bar chart and number of surveys in the Surveys panel update.

4. On the right, click an inspection address to zoom to that location on the map.
5. Click the point on the map to open a pop-up with information collected for that location.

   This information can be useful in preparing for any necessary follow-up visits.

6. Below the map, review the chart to see the number of smoke detectors installed and batteries provided.

   This information helps you to understand how many smoke detectors may be installed but not working correctly.

7. On the map, close the pop-up, and then in the Surveys panel, click the inspection address again to reset the map.
8. On the left, for Survey Completed, choose No.

   No data appears in the chart area. The locations listed in the Surveys panel require follow-up visits to complete the surveys.

9. On the left, in the filter panel, uncheck any Occupant Type check boxes and for Survey Completed, click All.
10. For Surveyed On, click the drop-down arrow and choose Between the dates.
11. Set start and end dates to filter for all surveys completed within that time frame.
12. Close the app.
