How it works

Accountability from arrival to all-clear.

Grace firefighter safety devices work together to track responders, detect motion-loss events, and bring command and rescue resources to the right person, fast.

1

Responder is tagged in

Every firefighter on scene is logged into the Grace Emergency Signaling & Accountability System on arrival, with their PASS device active and tracking from the first step into the hot zone.

2

PASS alarm triggers

If a firefighter goes motionless, falls, or hits a manual distress alarm, the PASS device sounds locally and signals the Grace Emergency Signaling & Accountability System in real time.

3

Command launches RIT

Incident command sees the alarm, identifies the responder, and dispatches the Rapid Intervention Team to the last known location with no guesswork.

Built for the fireground

Trusted by departments nationwide.

From municipal fire departments and volunteer companies to industrial fire brigades, wildland crews, and federal response teams, Grace Emergency Signaling & Accountability Systems are deployed wherever responders enter immediately dangerous environments.

Quick answers

Common questions about firefighter safety.

From chiefs, training officers, and accountability leads evaluating connected firefighter safety systems.

What is a PASS device?
A Personal Alert Safety System (PASS), also known as a DSU (distress signaling unit), is a wearable safety alarm carried by all firefighters on the fireground. It sounds a loud audible alarm if the firefighter remains motionless for a set time period or manually triggers a distress signal via pushbutton, helping rescue crews and command personnel immediately begin RIT (rapid intervention team) operations.
How do telemetry PASS, Emergency Signaling and Accountability work together?
A Grace firefighter telemetry PASS, known as TPASS, not only can immediately notify incident command of a firefighter in distress, when used with Grace In-Command® PC software, it monitors the status of all active responders, including support personnel, by indicating who is actually present and accounted for on the fireground. This is accomplished through the In-Command® PC software that provides grouping of personnel along with regular PAR Checks, Evacuate and Mayday signaling.
What other features do telemetry PASS provide?
The Grace TPASS provides immediate notification of no-motion alarms, manual distress alarms, low-battery alerts, Evacuate signaling, and Abandon & Roll-Call signaling. The TPASS sounds a very loud audible alarm with visual indicators to assist nearby responders in locating the firefighter, all while maintaining active accountability of all first responders present.
Are Grace PASS devices NFPA compliant?
All of Grace's '5' line of PASS and telemetry PASS are NFPA compliant to the latest edition of the standard. Specific certifications in addition to NFPA may vary by model. Grace recommends reviewing the specification data sheet for each model or contacting our sales team for further details.
Can Grace telemetry PASS be used for wildland or large incidents?
Yes. The Grace TPASS and associated worker safety devices are available with GPS to assist in locating emergency responders across large and geographically dispersed incidents. Grace In-Command® Emergency Signaling and Automated Accountability systems can simultaneously monitor several hundred responders and easily support mutual-aid and urban-wildlands crossover incidents.
How does this fit with your existing Accountability process?
Grace Emergency Signaling and Accountability systems are designed to either replace or reinforce your accountability SOPs. A diverse selection of safety pendants are available and can integrate with passport, tag, or roster-based systems already in use. Grace In-Command® provides incident command with a real-time electronic layer on top of any other Accountability process in use.
