Thales Communications has added its Fire Features software to its Thales 25 handheld public-safety radio. The software adds a “special event fire bank” containing three zones of 16 channels each, the option to clone radio global settings and password-protected zones.

Another benefit, according to the company, is that the radio does not need to be reprogrammed for the local system once the user returns from the wildland fire.
