ESO Acquired Firehouse Software in 2017 — ESO acquired Firehouse Software, and Firehouse Software is actively being superceded by ESO Fire RMS. Firehouse Software users need to find an alternative solution. Responserack is the best alternative for volunteer departments.
Legacy
A lot has changed since Firehouse Software was a pioneering product, decades ago. Changes in technology and in fire department / firefighter needs. Responserack meets today’s needs; no installation required, access from home or the station, use computers or mobile devices, simple for firefighters & administrators.
Switching to Responserack
Switch
to Responserack to meet your needs for NFIRS 5.0 reporting, and satisfy both your administration and firefighters. Volunteer fire departments can migrate to Responserack in under a week.
What sets Responserack apart from ESO Firehouse Software?
Modern / Mobile
firefighters need the right information at the right time, they need mobile simplicity, and firefighters (especially volunteer firefighters) need limited NFIRS complexity. Firefighters need information delivered to them; effective tools designed for their needs, not designed by NFIRS compliance.
Responserack brings information up to the firefighter, on their terms; presenting it simply and effectively. Responserack engages firefighters with their fire department data.
Responserack helps firefighters, yet also powers administration.
