Jonathan Moore — IAFF director of fire and EMS operations and GIS services —testified at a hearing before the House Subcommittee on Communications, Technology and the Internet on the need to improve basic communications within the fire service. Although the hearing was called to discuss a plan by the Federal Communications Commission to establish a nationwide public-safety broadband network, Moore explained to subcommittee members that the real dilemma facing many local fire departments is the need to improve communications operability.

In addition to discussing the importance of basic communications capabilities, Moore also expressed the IAFF’s support for the FCC’s plan to build a nationwide public safety broadband network.
