Best Fire Department Software
What makes the best fire department software? Sure, it needs to be affordable, but it needs to open to the whole department, not some back office software. Volunteer fire departments are highly interwoven organizations with matrix communications needs, and software needs to support open communications.
When selecting your fire department software
When evaluating solutions for your volunteer fire department there are a number of choices, each with a different focus and priorities. Responserack focuses on the volunteer firefighter aspects,
- Communications for volunteers - sharing, and including self-service access to department data. (If you even have an administrator, who wants them interrupted for simple lookups?)
- Middle-of-the-night simple - to keep training costs to a minimum, and avoiding volunteer frustration. Improving quick adoption.
- Just enough, but not too much - incident, training calendar, truck checks … all at the right level. Not too much, not too little. Not over complicated software that is a hassle to use.
- Volunteer focused - every decision is made for volunteer fire departments, not for career departments with volunteers an afterthought.
When picking your best fire department software, pick the one that is right for your and your volunteer organization.
