Allentown, PA – Geographic Technologies Group, Inc. (GTG) announced today that The City of Meriden,
Connecticut has expanded their implementation of GTG’s LG GIS software suite. The City has acquired
additional licenses of LGfires to expand the City’s existing LG platform which includes other GIS applications
such as LGcrimes, LGdispatch, and GeoManager. LGfires enables the City’s Fire Department to conduct
spatial analysis of fire incidents, in order to deploy its resources more efficiently, as well as to work with
other public safety departments and agencies. Additionally, the City will use LGfires in emergency response
management, utilizing LGfires to predict airborne particulate plume drift, and utilizing GIS-based emergency
notification services to quickly and accurately contact potentially affected populations during various
emergency scenarios.
Curt Hinton, CEO of GTG, stated that “Meriden has made public safety a centerpiece of their local
government. They have made it a priority to implement the best available tools to protect their citizenry. We
look forward to partnering with Meriden as we continue to push the technology envelope to implement the
best available tools.”
LGfires is a simple, easy-to-use GIS software product that seamlessly integrates with the City of Meriden’s
existing fire incident data. It offers the fire departments refined spatial tools required in today’s high-tech
world. LGfires allows an end-user to generate plumes to predict hazardous material impact areas. The user
can pick from a variety of atmospheric conditions, wind direction/speed and emission rates to create a
hazard zone.
Mr. Scott Rutzmoser, GTG’s Regional Manager, said that “The City of Meriden has had tremendous success
integrating GIS technology with their enterprise public safety initiatives; we look forward to helping the City
achieve continued success.” Steve Montemurro, City of Meriden, MIS Director, said “I believe this software
will be instrumental in improving the efficiency of fire operations particularly in the areas of response to
incidents and overall planning efforts. Ultimately, the citizens are the beneficiaries of improved service
delivery by the fire department.”
The City’s continuing utilization of GTG’s LG products highlights the value of our products as an integrated
and comprehensive set of GIS solutions that leverage the City’s investment in their current applications. As
with other fast-growing communities, the City of Meriden has embraced cutting-edge technology to improve
public safety services for its citizens.
