Abstract
A method, information processing system, and network that expands safety network coverage for first responder safety within a building environment. Activity of at least one independent network () is monitored. The independent network () includes at least a safety network. An emergency signal is received from the at least one independent network (). Communication between at least the safety network () and a First responder network () is automatically bridged in response to receiving the emergency signal so as to manage data control and bandwidth allocation between the safety network and the first responder network. Other networks that may also be bridged with the first responder network so as to manage data control and bandwidth allocation among the various networks include IT networks and building automation networks in order to expand first responder network coverage.
