Fire RMS

Responserack solution comparisons in 2024

What is a Fire RMS?

A Fire RMS is a Fire Records Management System that keeps track of records, e.g.:

  • incident records; what / where / when / who
  • member records; career information
  • apparatus records; maintenance and truck checks

What are the benefits of using a fire RMS?

The primary benefits is keeping track of data for your department, such that departments and their membership can keep knowing their response and training numbers, and departments can communicate with insurance companies and home owners. Further, a Fire RMS enables reporting to NFIRS and those subsequent benefits for grant applications.
