Eight EXO area monitors were strategically placed throughout the host stadium to continuously monitor for potential hazards. Connected to the Blackline Live cloud platform, the devices provided incident commanders with real-time visibility into conditions, helping emergency responders make informed decisions quickly if needed.

“These are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, and being asked to protect such a large event is incredible,” said Marcel Berube, hazmat, logistics and training lieutenant with the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department. “You’re there in case anything happens, and you have a product that’s going to assist you to help everybody if needed.”

The deployment included four EXO 8 area monitors, capable of detecting up to eight gases and gamma radiation, along with four G7 EXOs. The monitors transmitted live data over a cellular network to the Blackline Live platform, providing a centralized operational view for emergency personnel throughout the tournament.

“Every day, our technology helps protect workers in some of the world’s most demanding environments,” said Cody Slater, CEO of Blackline Safety. “At events like the World Cup and the Winter Olympics in Italy earlier this year, that same mission extends beyond the worksite to help emergency responders protect hundreds of thousands of people gathered to experience something unforgettable.”

This deployment reflects the growing role of connected safety technology in public event security. Increasingly, fire departments and emergency management organizations are adopting cloud-connected monitoring solutions that provide greater visibility, faster communication, and improved coordination during planned events and emergency response operations.

Berube and his team were even able to use the data from Blackline‘s platform to inform the entire Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), a coordinated group of agencies including police, FBI, and more.

Blackline Safety worked closely with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue throughout planning and deployment to configure the system, support implementation, and help ensure the technology was ready for operational use before fans arrived.

“Every experience I’ve had with Blackline has been great,” Berube said. “The support is excellent. If you have a question, they run you through it without a problem, and everyone is very helpful. Every time I’ve had an issue, problem, question, they’ve been very supportive.”
