• determining, at the controller, from the incident report that the location has limited wireless coverage;
• determining, at the controller, from the incident report, information to be physically transported to the location of the associated incident by a vehicle physically transporting a data carrier device storing the information;
• identifying, at the controller, the data carrier device that is capable of transporting the information to the location and is one or more of:
• presently storing at least a portion of the information prior to being physically transported to the location;
• and capable of downloading any portion of the information that is not presently stored at the data carrier device, the downloading occurring one or more of:
• prior to being physically transported to the location by the vehicle;
• and during physical transportation of the data carrier device to the location;
• and
• transmitting, from the controller, using the communication interface, a dispatch command to the data carrier device to travel to the location, and an indication of the information to be transported to the location.
