Android Applications for the Fire & EMS Service
Last year, almost to the day, I published an article titled "ANDROID IN THE FIRE SERVICE". I had several comments and then got another one today about applications that firefighters use on their android device. Why not the iphone you might ask?

Extraction Zones, an Extrication app for your phone!
A fellow rescuer who just so happens to live in Venezuela, Yorman J. Mari Peraza posted a link on the Boron Extrication Facebook page about an iPhone/iPod app called Extraction Zones by Adam Weiss. The Extraction Zones app is only $.99 so it is definitely a worth a try. Unfortunately for me, I have an Android phone and this app is not available for that phone platform yet. I thought about developing an app like this, however, my schedule is just too packed for me to even start developing one. So my hat goes off to Adam for taking the time to put a very low cost option out on the web for First Responders. I hope he continues to develop the app and add other platforms.
