In one of many live-fire drills the Seattle Fire Department (SFD) has performed to prepare for an MCI - Mass Casualty Incident, Seattle Fire was testing the use of technology to help first responders (firefighters, medics) triage, treat and transport patients from the scene to area hospitals. The system uses Exodus MCI software from Asentrix Systems running on Intermec Technologies' 760 mobile computers with IP3 Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) readers and Intermec RFID tags. The 760 computers communicate instantly to the command and trauma centers via a wireless local area network (802.11) or wireless wide area network (CDMA).
