An emergency device or emergency system is configured for operation within a fire safety system, or a fire safety portion of a building automation system (BAS). For example, wireless devices, emergency devices and/or automation components within the fire safety system or the fire safety portion of the BAS may be configured to automatically provide or otherwise communicate emergency information to an emergency device or system. The emergency information may, in turn, be utilized by emergency personnel or first responders to determine location information regarding the structure and/or relative positions within the structure or communicate with a remote emergency system.

1. A method for emergency communication, the method comprising: deploying an emergency device within a structure;providing the emergency device with location information, wherein the location information relates to a fixed position of the emergency device within the structure;receiving an emergency information request related to the emergency device; andcommunicating, in response to the received emergency information request, location information directly between the emergency device and a mobile emergency device, wherein the communicated location information identifies location of the mobile emergency device relative to the fixed position of the emergency device within the structure. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein communicating location information comprises communicating location information from the emergency device to the mobile emergency device. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein communicating location information comprises communicating location information to the emergency device from the mobile emergency device. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein communicating location information comprises communicating location information via a communication protocol selected from the group consisting of: ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 standard; a wireless fidelity (WiFi)/IEEE 802.11x standard; an infrared/IrDA standard; and a global positioning sensor communication standard. 5. The method of claim 1 further comprising: providing location information related to the mobile emergency device to a remote location via a fire safety system. 6. The method of claim 1 further comprising: displaying the location information related to the emergency device on a display. 7. A method for emergency communication within a fire safety system, the method comprising: communicating an emergency request to an emergency device deployed within a building automation system;processing, at the emergency device, an emergency communication received via a wireless communications component in response to the emergency request, wherein the emergency communication includes location information relating to a fixed position of the emergency device deployed within the building automation system;generating display data based on the location information contained within the received emergency communication; andcommunicating the display data directly from the emergency device to a user for presentation, wherein the communicated display data identifies location of the user relative to the fixed position of the emergency device deployed within the building automation system. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein processing the emergency communication includes processing an emergency communication conforming to a communication standard selected from the group consisting of: ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 standard; a wireless fidelity (WiFi)/ IEEE 802.11x standard; an infrared/IrDA standard; and a global positioning sensor transceiver. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein the processing the emergency communication includes processing information selected from the group consisting of: a temperature indication; an air quality indication; an oxygen-level reading; a location indication; structure layout information; fire location information; hazardous material location information and location information related to other personnel. 10. The method of claim 7, wherein generating display data based on the location information includes generating location information representative of a building zone defined within a structure. 11. The method of claim 7 further comprising: configuring a camera to capture environmental information; andproviding the environmental information to the user. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the camera is a dual mode camera configured to capture infrared environmental information and visible spectrum environmental information. 13. The method of claim 7 further comprising: projecting the display data on a heads-up display. 14. The method of claim 7 further comprising: providing the display data on a mobile emergency device and displaying the display data on a touch screen. 15. A method for emergency communication within a fire safety system, the method comprising: receiving an emergency information request from a user located within a structure, wherein the emergency information request is communicated directly to an emergency device deployed within the structure containing a building automation system;determining location information of the user relative to the emergency device;generating an emergency communication containing the location information of the user relative to the emergency device; andtransmitting the emergency communication via a wireless communications component, wherein the emergency communication is transmitted to the building automation system. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein transmitting the emergency communication includes transmitting an emergency communication conforming to a communication standard selected from the group consisting of: ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 standard; a wireless fidelity (WiFi)/ IEEE 802.11x standard; an infrared/IrDA standard; and a global positioning sensor transceiver. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein determining location information includes determining information selected from the group consisting of: a temperature indication; an air quality indication; an oxygen-level reading; a location indication; structure layout information; fire location information; hazardous material location information and location information related to other personnel. 18. The method of claim 15 further comprising: configuring a camera to capture environmental information; andproviding the environmental information to the emergency device. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein the camera is a dual mode camera configured to capture infrared environmental information and visible spectrum environmental information. 20. A method for emergency communication, the method comprising: establishing a direct communication link between a mobile emergency device and an emergency device, wherein the emergency device is fixedly deployed within a structure; andcommunicating location information relating to a position of the emergency device within the structure to the mobile emergency device via the direct communication link, wherein the communicated location information identifies location of the mobile emergency device relative to the emergency device within the structure. 21. The method of claim 20 further comprising receiving, at the emergency device, an emergency information request generated by the mobile emergency device. 22. The method of claim 20, wherein communicating location information is initiated in response to a received emergency information request. 23. The method of claim 20, wherein the direct communication link is an ad-hoc communication link. 24. The method of claim 20, wherein the emergency device is deployed within a structure and is in communication with a building automation system. 25. A method for emergency communication, the method comprising: deploying an emergency device within a structure;providing the emergency device with location information indicative of a fixed position of the emergency device within the structure;receiving an emergency information request related to the emergency device via an ad-hoc connection established between the emergency device and a mobile emergency device; andcommunicating, in response to the received emergency information request, location information to the mobile emergency device via the ad-hoc connection, wherein the communicated location information identifies a current location of the mobile emergency device relative to the position of the emergency device.
