Case Study: Town of Smithfield, RI fire department improves fire training and investigations with EagleView Pictometry Imagery

Smithfield, Rhode Island, Fire Department Embraces Pictometry® Imagery

The Town of Smithfield, Rhode Island, fire department sought to leverage technology to improve its operations, including fire investigations, training, and pre-planning. To meet this challenge, they turned to EagleView and its Pictometry imagery service, which provides detailed aerial and oblique views of properties.

EagleView's solution, accessed via the PictometryOnline and later the CONNECTExplorer platforms, provided the fire department with accurate measurement tools and immersive imagery. This allowed personnel to conduct detailed investigations and training sessions without needing to be on-site, saving time and resources. The department achieved greater operational efficiency and plans to further integrate EagleView's technology into its field operations with mobile access. Captain Waterman declared the service "invaluable" and a tool whose use is "only limited by my imagination."
