An emergency response system (ERS) configured to acquire equipment location data, target terminal location data, and emergency responder terminal location data; determine a horizontal distance measure between the emergency responder terminal and a select unit of equipment, determine a vertical distance measure between the emergency responder terminal and a select unit of equipment, engage a camera component of the emergency responder terminal to capture images of at least a portion of the surrounding real-world scene, providing such images for display on the touchscreen display of the emergency responder terminal, and/or providing an equipment display object for display on the touchscreen of the emergency responder terminal such that, when an image provided for display spans a region of the real-world scene within which the equipment is located, the equipment display object dynamically overlays a segment of the image associated with the acquired equipment location data.
