Meet the crack team behind Cape Town's firefighters As fires blaze in and around Cape Town, the fire and rescue centralised command and control centre in Goodwood has been working tirelessly to make sure the firefighters have everything they need. The Emergency Policing and Incident Control (Epic) system, which was recently developed, played a hand in assisting the command centre to deal with the recent fires as efficiently as possible. The Epic system has been developed for nine departments: metro police, law enforcement, traffic services, emergency services, 107, fire and rescue, disaster management, special investigations unity, social development services and the Stompi hotline, which shows where people have been throwing their cigarette butts. “The system allows the call taker to distribute to multiple organisations; each service will then receive a service request,” Cyster said.
