Firefighter Health & Safety
Aegis monitors PM2.5, TVOC, and carbon monoxide in real time at every apparatus bay. Every reading feeds an NFPA 1500–compliant audit trail — ready for FEMA AFG applications.
No spreadsheets. No manual logging. No guesswork at 3 AM.
The Problem
NFPA 1500 Section 10.2: Organizations shall develop and implement written standard operating procedures that identify and minimize the health and safety hazards associated with structural firefighting operations.
What Aegis Does
Plug-and-play SPS30 particle sensor + BME280 environmental sensor + MQ-7 CO sensor. Hardware connects in minutes via the Aegis API endpoint. No proprietary lock-in.
Live PM2.5, PM10, TVOC, CO, temperature, humidity, and pressure readings every 3 seconds. Threshold alerts when air quality turns dangerous — before the shift ends.
One-click PDF export with your zone configurations, event log, compliance status, peak readings, and full NFPA 1500 reference. Accepted by AFG grant reviewers.
Automated compliance documentation becomes your grant application exhibit. No more last-minute scramble — the record exists before you need it.
Configure zones per apparatus bay, equipment room, or station wing. Set per-zone PM2.5 and TVOC thresholds. Track exposure history by location.
Instant alerts when readings exceed your thresholds. Full alert history with timestamps, values, and clearance status. Searchable, filterable, exportable.
How It Works
Flash the ESP32 with Aegis firmware, wire the SPS30 + BME280 + MQ-7, point it at your Aegis endpoint. Sensors auto-register the first time they transmit. No manual setup.
Readings stream in every 3 seconds. When PM2.5 or TVOC crosses your threshold, you get an alert. Every exceedance is logged with a timestamp — your audit trail builds automatically.
When the AFG window opens, generate your NFPA 1500 compliance PDF in one click. Zone configs, event history, peak readings, compliance statement — done.
Your alert history log is the compliance artifact. Every exceedance is timestamped, value-logged, and cleared/not-cleared. Export it as a formatted PDF whenever you need it — grant application, internal audit, or ISO review.
FAQ
"We already do spreadsheets."
Spreadsheets don't auto-trigger when PM2.5 hits 150 µg/m³. They don't log the exact timestamp of an exceedance, and they don't generate a formatted NFPA 1500 artifact on demand. Aegis replaces the spreadsheet — and the person who has to maintain it.
"Isn't this expensive?"
Starting at $149/month per station. The hardware is $80–120 in off-the-shelf parts (ESP32 + SPS30 + BME280 + MQ-7). Compare that to the cost of a grant consultant assembling your compliance documentation manually — or the cost of an ISO finding.
"Our department is too small."
Aegis scales from a single apparatus bay to a 20-station district. Small departments benefit most — they have the least capacity for manual documentation. Aegis does it for you, continuously.
"What sensors do we need?"
Standard parts: ESP32 microcontroller, Sensirion SPS30 particle sensor, Bosch BME280 (temp/humidity/pressure), and an MQ-7 carbon monoxide sensor. Total hardware cost under $120. We provide the firmware and wiring guide.
"How does it connect to the app?"
The ESP32 POSTs readings to your Aegis endpoint every 3 seconds over WiFi. Authentication is a per-department API key. No cloud subscription, no proprietary gateway — just HTTP.
"Can we export the data?"
Yes. PDF export generates a formatted NFPA 1500 compliance document. CSV export gives you raw readings for your own analysis. JSON export for integrations. All exports are timestamped and scoped to your zones.
