Integrating location information in a fire control system

A method of operating a computing device for a fire control system, comprising:

• receiving, from a database of an architectural modeling system external to the fire control system:
• a graphical representation of a facility;
• and
• location information associated with a number of components of the fire control system, wherein the location information associated with each respective component indicates a location of that component in the facility;
• integrating the location information associated with each respective component of the fire control system in the graphical representation of the facility such that:
• the graphical representation includes a representation of each respective component;
• and
• a location of the representation of each respective component in the graphical representation corresponds to the location of that component in the facility;
• and
• displaying the graphical representation of the facility with the location information associated with each respective component of the fire control system integrated therein on a user interface of the computing device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon that are executable by a processor to:

• receive, from a database external to a fire control system:
• a graphical representation of a facility;
• location information associated with a number of components of the fire control system, wherein the location information associated with each respective component indicates a location of that component in the facility;
• and
• type information associated with the number of components of the fire control system, wherein the type information associated with each respective component indicates a type of that component;
• integrate the location information and type information associated with each respective component of the fire control system in the graphical representation of the facility such that:
• the graphical representation includes a representation of each respective component and the type of each respective component;
• and
• a location of the representation of each respective component in the graphical representation corresponds to the location of that component in the facility;
• and
• display the graphical representation of the facility with the location information and type information associated with each respective component of the fire control system integrated therein on a user interface.
