"Ever tried to be two places at one time? We all do and we know it’s impossible. For Wilson’s Firefighters, though, the city’s fiber optic network makes it possible to do just that - virtually.
Wilson Fire/Rescue Services has one of the best ratings in the state. To maintain their high standards and keep response times fast, Firefighters need to stay in their stations. Since the city’s fiber backbone was installed in early 2006, Firefighters have begun doing more remote training from several facilities.
Using the city’s fiber optic network, Firefighters can stay in their station while interacting with an instructor in another building through clean video. The fiber allows the training to be more interactive because it’s faster and clearer than the old technology.
Our Firefighters can keep response times fast while keeping their training level high. As a homeowner in Wilson, I’m grateful they can use this new technology to protect all of us."
