REDALERT MDT

The Mobile CAD Software Your Crew Need

The seconds between dispatch and arrival are when most of the decisions get made. RedAlert MDT provides the live CAD data, mapping, and preplans you need before you arrive.

Trusted by Fire Departments Across 30+ States

The Voice of Our Partners

Fire departments all over the country rely on our platform to keep operations organized, accurate, and accountable.

WHY REDALERT MDT

Real-Time Intel for Faster Response

Equip crews with mission-critical data en route to every call.

1. CAD Integration

RedAlert MDT completely replaces radio relays with a structured CAD data feed delivered straight to your apparatus tablet. Call details, status updates, and unit assignments are all displayed on screen at all times rather than relayed via radios.

2. Mapping Tools

Control what your crews see on the way to the call by plotting your own hydrants, FDCs, and other points of interest on a custom mapping layer.

3. Property Insights

Every hazard, utility shut off, and site plan is loaded to your tablet before arrival. Your preplans are fully visible to crews en route, so they understand the situation before they pull up to the scene.

GIS Mapping and Firefighting: Enhancing Situational Awareness

At its core, GIS mapping is a technology that allows users to visualize, analyze, and interpret spatial data. By layering data like building structures, water sources, hydrants, roads, and more, GIS creates a comprehensive map of an area, making it easier to understand the environment in real-time.

Command from the Road

Response time and on-scene preparedness are the two biggest factors in a fire outcome. RedAlert MDT makes both better.

En Route Visibility

Arriving “blind” is the default problem most apparatus crews have. Everything gets sorted on the scene. RedAlert changes that by adding a live CAD feed, mapping with hydrant overlays, and preplan data all on your apparatus tablet, so your crew arrives knowing the building layout, water supply, and the risks before arriving

Features:

  • Replace the en route blind spot with live CAD, mapping, and preplan data
  • Replace figuring out on scene for preparedness en route

Every Rig Equipped

Apparatus officers shouldn’t have to make the biggest decisions with no information. RedAlert MDT provides them with the full dispatch picture. No more relay errors, no “say again,” and no crew arriving with no idea of what they’re up against.

Features:

  • Dispatch tools on every apparatus tablet, not just the command vehicle
  • Every responding unit is equally informed at all times
  • Send messages between vehicles for improved communication

Frequently Asked Questions

What is RedAlert MDT?

RedAlert MDT is a mobile CAD software solution that turns tablets into in-apparatus command tools, showing live CAD feeds, GPS tracking, unit status, property insights, and preplans directly to fire apparatus en route to every call.

Yes. RedAlert MDT is compatible with both iPads and Android tablets, as well as Windows OS, meaning it can run on any popular OS on the market. Departments can deploy it on their existing apparatus tablet fleet without purchasing proprietary hardware.

RedAlert MDT integrates directly with your CAD system to deliver live call details, updates, and assignments to the apparatus tablet in real time — replacing radio-relayed dispatch information with a structured, on-screen data feed.

RedAlert MDT displays property insights, including hazards, hydrant locations, utility shut-offs, and site plans — preplan data loaded from your RedAlert system and visible on the apparatus tablet before crews arrive at the scene.
