Abstract
A readiness monitoring system for a fire apparatus includes a processing circuit that has programmed instructions to acquire fluid level data indicating at least one of a water level within a water tank, a fire suppressing agent level within an agent tank, a fuel level within a fuel tank, or a diesel exhaust fluid level within a diesel exhaust fluid reservoir of the fire apparatus; acquire fault data indicating any active faults with components of the fire apparatus; acquire maintenance data indicating whether maintenance is due or overdue; acquire exercise data indicating an elapsed time since the fire apparatus was last exercised; and determine a readiness score for the fire apparatus based on the fluid level data, the fault data, the maintenance data, and the exercise data.
