Enhancing efficiency and compliance with LIVSafe.
Merrillville Fire Department
Background
The Merrillville Fire Department in Indiana is tasked with ensuring fire safety across the town, a responsibility that primarily falls on Robert Pillman, the sole member of the Fire Bureau. Given the breadth of his duties and the limited resources available, Robert needed a system that could help streamline his work and enhance the department's ability to enforce safety regulations.
Challenges
Before adopting LIVSafe, Robert faced significant challenges in monitoring and addressing deficiencies across the town. With only one person handling all inspection-related tasks, it was nearly impossible to be everywhere at once, making it difficult to ensure that all deficiencies were identified and corrected promptly. Additionally, without a centralized system, tracking compliance and maintaining comprehensive records was a daunting task.
Solution
LIVSafe provided the Merrillville Fire Department with a robust platform to address these challenges. The Premises Management feature allowed Robert to monitor all properties and their inspection statuses in real-time. The Report Uploading and Deficiency Tracking tools enabled him to receive and review reports from contractors directly on his tablet, giving him instant access to critical information without the need to physically visit each location.
