Staffordshire FRS plan ahead with PHOENIX and Total Solution Mapping

Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service has become the latest fire service to purchase PHOENIX, the workload and deployment tool from ACTIVE.

Staffordshire FRS were awarded £46 million in October 2009 after a successful bid for funding through the governments private finance initiative (PFI) scheme.
