Bob Loomer Joins StationSmarts

IPSWICH, Mass. - Oct. 27, 2014 - PRLog -- StationSmarts, a comprehensive risk management solution for fire departments, is pleased to announce the appointment of Bob Loomer to spearhead business development and training. In this role, Loomer is responsible for building relationships within the fire services community, responding to the unique challenges each department has in using StationSmarts to make their job safer and easier, and helping to develop intuitive products that support a seamless records management solution for fire services.

“Bob’s extensive education and more than 40 years of experience in fire services will be extremely valuable to us as we continue to develop a responsive and seamless risk management solution for fire services,” said Dave Rocco, CEO of StationSmarts. “As a former Fire Chief, he understand the challenges small- to mid-sized fire departments face every day. And through his work with the Massachusetts Fire Academy, he has gained extensive training and program development experience. We are thrilled to have him on board.”

Loomer is nationally certified as a fire officer level IV, a certified fire inspector and a nationally certified fire instructor. In 2012, he retired as Chief of the Wayland Fire Department, where he successfully advanced the department’s emergency medical services delivery model to the paramedic level and implemented a fire service based, regional approach to providing advanced life-support services. Shortly after retiring, Loomer was chosen to coordinate the Chief Fire Officer Training Program for the Massachusetts Fire Academy. He also served as interim Fire Inspector with the Maynard Fire Department, where he helped advise StationSmarts in the development of its robust inspections module.

“I’m excited about working with StationSmarts in a more formal capacity,” said Bob Loomer. “Dave and Greg are the first people I’ve seen who have really looked at what Fire Chiefs are struggling with and used that information to create a solution. They have a product that is different from most of the stuff out there, and I was impressed with their commitment to fire services. But what I am most intrigued by is the potential for this product to make firefighters’ jobs not only easier, but safer. Those responding to an emergency will have access to dynamic information on the street at the time of the emergency. It’s all stored in the system. The instant accessibility of this information is vital to the job the firefighters do every day.”
