Responserack for NERIS (NFIRS too)

NERIS comes with its own website for entering incidents, but here is why you would want to use Responserack Fire RMS instead

Responserack is an excellent tool for volunteer fire departments to file incident reports to NERIS because it simplifies the process, allows more of your complete fire family to participate, and engages your volunteer firefighters in their departments operations data. Responserack just makes everything about incident reporting easier.

Firefighter struggling with complex NERIS software, not Responserack.

NERIS does it all, but do you need FDNY-level complexity? Responserack is volunteer firefighter simple.

Responserack and NERIS/NFIRS Incident Reporting

Here is what Responserack does:

  • Speaks “volunteer firefighter speak” and not codes. Simply “Grass Fire” and not some NERIS (nor NFIRS) code.
  • Removes the big-city fire complexity, keeping NERIS volunteer fire department simple.
  • Shares the wealth; allowing more of your department to participate in reporting.
  • Provides the unique two step incident entry - simple for firefighters, powerful for administrators.
  • Supports your custom needs (e.g. how much water was used) and attachments; photographs / documents.
  • Gives you help at every stage.

But why stop there? Responserack does much more:

Responserack helps you:

  • Manage your membership; attendance, career, and training.
  • Track your truck checks and maintenance records.
  • Engage your volunteers in their department data.

And why not the NERIS data entry tool, again?

The NERIS data entry tool is designed for every possible complexity and permutation, and has to be that complicated. Your firefighters won’t find that easy from the incident scene. Responserack removes the complexity, guides you along the way, and keeps your reporting flowing smoothly.
