Systems and methods for archiving data, e.g., log files with live audio, corresponding to an emergency event is provided. Upon an occurrence of a safety event, a notification device, e.g., a smoke detector, detects smoke, and transmits an alert to a fire control panel (FACP). Upon receiving the alert, the FACP generates a log file with data corresponding to the devices responsive to the event. Additionally, a live audio file corresponding to the event is generated, via the FACP or other device. The FACP may then connect to a data controller, via a gateway application, for transmitting the log file and audio file for archiving the same. An audio message of the audio file may then be embedded, via an embedding means, into the log file.
