This session brings together quick presentations and a panel focused on how today’s records management for fire departments is changing with the help of AI and the new NERIS platform. Attendees will see firsthand how smart, cloud-based systems are making it easier to handle everything from incident reports to daily compliance, moving past the slow, outdated tools of the past. The session highlights the real steps departments can take to get ready for new reporting, better security, and more useful data; ideas you can act on with your own teams. Anyone attending will walk away with clear advice from leaders who are already making these changes, practical tips for adoption, and a view of what’s next so departments can keep pace and serve their communities more effectively.
