How This Automation Works
Fire Incident Report Submitted → Certified Inspector Automatically Dispatched
Fire Incident Report Captured
When a chimney fire incident is reported through any channel—emergency hotline, web form, property management system, or mobile app—the system immediately captures all critical details including location, severity indicators, structural concerns, and customer contact information. This data automatically populates the emergency dispatch record.
Inspector Availability Analyzed
The system instantly queries your inspector database to identify all certified professionals within the service area. It cross-references current schedules, geographic proximity, certification levels, and specialization areas to determine the optimal inspector match based on incident severity and response time requirements.
Inspector Assigned and Briefed
The qualified inspector receives an automated dispatch notification containing complete incident details, property access information, safety protocols, and customer background. The assignment appears in their mobile app or scheduling system with GPS navigation, estimated travel time, and equipment recommendations based on reported damage patterns.
Customer Notification Sent
Simultaneously, the property owner receives confirmation via their preferred communication channel (SMS, email, or app notification) including inspector name and credentials, photo identification, estimated arrival time with live tracking link, pre-inspection safety guidelines, and direct contact information for questions or access coordination.
Real-Time Status Updates Distributed
As the inspector travels to the site and begins assessment work, the system automatically sends status updates to all stakeholders. Dispatchers monitor progress through a live dashboard, customers receive arrival confirmations, and office staff access real-time inspection notes as they're documented in the field.
Assessment Report Generated and Distributed
Upon inspection completion, the inspector's field notes automatically generate a structured damage assessment report with severity ratings, safety recommendations, repair priorities, and cost estimates. This report is instantly distributed to the customer, insurance providers (if authorized), and internal repair coordination teams to accelerate the recovery process.
How It Works
When chimney fires strike, every minute counts for safety assessment and damage control. This automated emergency dispatch system eliminates dangerous delays by instantly connecting fire damage reports with certified inspection teams. The moment a fire incident is logged, the system automatically identifies available inspectors based on location and certification level, schedules the earliest possible assessment slot, and sends comprehensive briefing materials including property details and incident reports. Customers receive immediate confirmation with inspector credentials, estimated arrival times, and safety protocols. The system maintains real-time communication throughout the inspection process, automatically generates preliminary damage assessments, and creates follow-up action plans. By removing manual scheduling bottlenecks and communication gaps, property owners get faster safety clearances while inspection teams operate with complete incident context from the first moment of contact.
The Trigger
Activates when a chimney fire incident report is logged in your emergency management system, safety hotline, or property management platform. The trigger captures critical details including property location, fire severity level, structural concerns, and customer contact information to initiate the emergency inspection protocol.
The Action
Immediately assigns the nearest certified chimney inspector based on availability, certification level, and geographic proximity. Sends the inspector complete incident briefs including fire severity, access codes, and safety considerations. Simultaneously notifies the property owner with inspector credentials, estimated arrival time, and pre-inspection safety guidelines while creating a tracking record in your emergency dispatch system.
Common Use Cases in Chimney
- A chimney fire is reported at 11 PM on a weekend. The system immediately identifies the on-call inspector, sends them complete incident details with property access codes, and notifies the homeowner with an estimated 45-minute arrival time. The inspector arrives fully briefed, completes the safety assessment, and the homeowner receives a preliminary report before midnight—all without a single phone call to dispatch.
- After a severe storm triggers multiple chimney fires across a service area, the system automatically prioritizes incidents by severity and structural risk. It dispatches available inspectors using intelligent geographic routing to minimize travel time, sends estimated arrival windows to each affected property, and provides the operations team with a real-time dashboard showing all active inspections and their current status.
- A property management company reports a chimney fire in a multi-unit building requiring immediate safety clearance for resident re-entry. The system dispatches a senior certified inspector with multi-unit experience, automatically notifies all building contacts including the property manager and building superintendent, and generates a comprehensive safety assessment report that's instantly shared with the fire marshal's office for occupancy approval.
- An insurance company partners with your chimney service to provide rapid fire damage assessments for policyholders. When a claim is filed, the system automatically schedules an inspection, sends the inspector relevant policy information and claim numbers, and delivers the completed assessment directly into the insurance company's claims management system—reducing claim processing time from days to hours.
