To support a project funded by the FEMA Fire Prevention & Safety Grants (R&D), a calibration-free gas sensor technology is being developed for detection of toxic gases during overhaul operations. To ensure that this technology is integrated into an intuitive and easy to use interface, we are seeking fire personnel feedback on the desired functions of a toxic gas sensor.

This survey is to be completed by firefighters of all backgrounds. This survey is confidential optional. No identifying information(names, email, etc.) will be collected. You are not required to take this survey and may stop at anytime without submitting your answers. This survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.
