Python Developer Needed — Fire Scanner Monitoring
1 day ago
Job description
Timeline: 2 weeks-
- ABOUT THE PROJECT
I need a fully functional Python application that monitors live public Broadcastify scanner streams (fire/EMS), transcribes audio in real time, and sends SMS + email alerts when a structure fire, basement flood, or pipe burst is dispatched — then automatically enriches the lead using a Claude AI agent and prepares personalized outreach for my restoration business.
The app should be plug-and-play with any public Broadcastify feed URL, configurable without touching code, and run reliably on Windows as a background service.
- PHASE 1 — CORE LISTENER (Standalone)
- Audio Capture
— Support multiple simultaneous streams (multi-county monitoring)
— Chunk audio into 15-second segments continuously using ffmpeg
- Transcription
- Incident Detection & Analysis
— Must detect TWO categories of incidents out of the box:
FIRE:
structure fire, house fire, working fire, flames showing, smoke showing, fully involved, fire alarm, brush fire, confirmed fire
WATER DAMAGE:
water in basement, flooded basement, pipe burst, broken pipe, water main break, sewer backup, water emergency, flooding, standing water
— Anthropic Claude API to confirm the incident type and extract address, incident category (fire vs. water), and responding units
— Must use the official anthropic Python SDK (pip install anthropic)
— Deduplication so the same incident doesn't trigger multiple alerts
- Service Area Filtering
- Alerts
— Email alerts with full incident details including incident category (fire or water)
— Configurable quiet hours (e.g. no alerts between 10pm–6am)
- Web Dashboard
— Incident history with address, time, type, category, and which stream it came from
- Logging
-
- PHASE 2 — CLAUDE AI AGENT (Lead Enrichment)
— Owner Lookup:
Query county tax assessor records (public data) using the confirmed address to retrieve the property owner name and mailing address
— Contact Enrichment:
Use the Whitepages Pro API to look up a phone number and email for the owner by name + address
— Lead Summary:
Claude compiles a clean lead card (owner name, address, phone, email, incident type, category, time)
— Outreach Draft:
Claude drafts a short, empathetic SMS and email tailored to the incident type — different messaging for fire vs.
water damage— CRM Logging:
Save the full lead card to SQLite and flag it on the dashboard as an enriched lead
— Alert Me:
Send the lead card + drafted outreach via SMS and email for my review
The agent runs automatically after every confirmed incident. If contact info cannot be found, still send owner name and address for manual follow-up.
