Everything the department runs on, in one place.
Most fire software is built for career departments, then resold to volunteers at the same complexity and the same price. Reskyr is built the other way around — every module below shipped for the department that runs on 20 minutes a week per member, not 20 hours. Unlimited users, every module included, at every tier.
From dispatch to a submitted NERIS report.
Incident reporting & NERIS
Built for the federal standard that replaced NFIRS on January 31, 2026 — not a legacy NFIRS product with NERIS bolted on afterward.
- Progressive validation flags missing NERIS-required fields as you type, not at submission
- Draft → Reviewed → Submitted → Accepted, tracked per incident with automatic retry on rejection
- CAD ingest from Motorola PremierOne, Tyler New World, Hexagon, or a generic webhook — pre-fills the report before the crew is back at the station
- Crew roster, apparatus, casualties, actions taken, mutual aid, and property loss all captured to spec
- One-click PDF export, branded, for insurance, boards, and grant applications
Vs. the field: ESO Fire, ImageTrend, and First Due all migrated onto NERIS from NFIRS-era architecture. Reskyr has no NFIRS-era architecture to migrate from.
Apparatus & the MDT
A dedicated tablet experience for the cab, not a shrunken desktop screen someone forgot to redesign.
- Live dispatch card with priority, address, and an "address intelligence" panel: pre-plan, hazmat on-site, prior calls at that address, active permits
- Turn-by-turn navigation (self-hosted OSRM, with native maps deep-link fallback) — no menus while en route
- Live response roster with an intelligent "no apparatus en route" alert
- Real-time NWS weather warnings for the response area
- Quick incident-report initiation on arrival
Vs. the field: no competitor in this market — not ESO, not ImageTrend, not First Due, not Station Boss — ships a purpose-built apparatus tablet experience. This exists nowhere else.
Pre-plans, hydrants & address intelligence
Everything the crew wishes they knew before the door opens, surfaced automatically by address.
- Pre-plans with construction type, occupancy, Knox box code, key contacts, hazmat inventory, and floor-by-floor photos
- Hydrant inventory with NFPA 291 flow color-coding, annual inspection tracking, and auto out-of-service on failed flow test
- Nearby-hydrant lookup on every pre-plan; incident history and active permits surfaced by address on the incident form and the MDT
- Response-area mapping with a MapLibre polygon editor for first-due territories and mutual-aid overlap
Vs. the field: Station Boss's own customer testimonials cite pre-plans on the tablet as the single reason they switched. Reskyr has that, plus the hydrant and address-history layer Station Boss doesn't.
The roster is the department. Treat it that way.
Roster, credentials & recruiting
Every member's certifications, availability, and status in one record — no spreadsheet shadow system.
- Credentials compliance matrix — a visual rank-by-certification grid showing gaps department-wide, at a glance
- Curated certification library (national + department-defined), not free-text cert names nobody can search
- Recruiting pipeline: applicant tracking, auto-converted onboarding checklists, probation reviews, and a retention "at risk" flag from response/training activity trends
- Personnel HR file: licenses, disciplinary records (confidential, access-layered), performance reviews
Health, exposure & wellness
Cancer-presumption documentation and mental-health support, built in — not an afterthought module.
- Exposure event logging per incident (fire/substances/PPE/SCBA/decon) for cancer-presumption claims, plus NFPA 1582 medical eval and respirator-clearance tracking with expiry alerts
- Anonymous wellness check-ins — structurally un-attributable, no member link stored — with officer-facing aggregate trend, not individual data
- CISM debrief scheduling, rule-based auto-suggestion after high-acuity calls (LODD, injuries, MCI keywords), peer-support directory
- OSHA 300/300A injury log and near-miss reporting (anonymous option), SDS library for right-to-know on scene
Training, certifications & CEUs
The training hub members actually open, because it's built around how volunteers actually train.
- Curated course catalog and a class scheduler with enrollment and roster attendance
- Member-submitted training-request workflow — request → officer review → schedule → complete
- CEU tracker with renewal-cycle pacing (on-track / at-risk / behind), not just a static expiry date
- Training matrix by member and type, and a self-serve training-content library with quizzes
The compliance paperwork ISO actually asks for, done automatically.
Equipment & NFPA compliance
Not "track your equipment" — the specific lifecycle rule for every category, enforced.
- Hose (NFPA 1962 annual test), ground ladders (NFPA 1932), SCBA units and cylinders (DOT 15-year retirement + 5-year hydro, calculated automatically), pump tests (NFPA 1911) — auto out-of-service on failure
- PPE/gear assignment and retirement tracking, small tools, hydrants, medical supplies with expiry and minimum-stock alerts
- Configurable vehicle pre-trip check templates per apparatus type, maintenance PM schedules with AFG-ready 3-year rolling cost reports
- Work orders that auto-spawn from a failed inspection — no separate step to remember
Vs. the field: Station Boss tracks equipment generically. Reskyr enforces the actual NFPA/DOT lifecycle rule per category, and ties failed inspections straight into a maintenance work order.
Facilities & station operations
The building the apparatus lives in needs records too.
- Facility asset register (HVAC, generator, compressor, bay doors, alarm systems) with its own work-order flow
- NFPA 1989 quarterly SCBA-compressor air-quality testing with an overdue alert
- Daily station logs and per-apparatus fuel/water/mileage logs, with a Command Center nudge if today's log isn't done
- Utility-bill tracking with spend-by-type rollups
Fire prevention & investigations
Inspections, permitting, and cause-and-origin — the public-facing and after-the-fact sides of the job.
- Occupancy records, violation tracking, and a fire-code library (NFPA 1/10/13/25/72/101, IFC) with automated owner-notification emails on violation
- Configurable public intake portal for burn permits, event notices, and occupancy requests — with a burn-ban switch that suspends active permits department-wide in one click
- Fire cause-and-origin investigations with full NERIS cause/origin/heat-source/material codes, evidence photo upload, witness-interview notes, and a branded PDF report
- Community risk-reduction activity logging and a 3-year repeat-incident "risk address" report cross-referenced against pre-plans
Coordinating people is the actual job. This is built for that.
Scheduling, time clock & LOSAP
Volunteer time, tracked the way volunteer departments actually run — and the way career-track hours get paid.
- Duty schedule, self-scheduling, and a coverage board with live on-call status
- Time clock with an FLSA 207(k) overtime engine (configurable threshold per pay period) and PTO/shift-trade workflow, CSV export for Gusto/ADP payroll
- LOSAP point tracking built in — the volunteer retention and pension-eligibility tool most competitors don't have at all
Projects & tasks
Station renovations, apparatus purchases, and grant projects, without renaming your fire department into a software company.
- Kanban task board with due dates, priority, and assignment; Command Center surfaces what's overdue
- Optional phased-project tracking (firefighter-friendly language: "phases," not "sprints") with a from-scratch SVG Gantt timeline
- Starter templates for station work, equipment programs, training initiatives, and community events
Communications, documents & e-sign
The department's bulletin board, filing cabinet, and signature line — digitized without becoming bureaucratic.
- Bulletin board with pinned alerts/announcements, direct messages, read-receipt tracking
- Document & SOG library with version history, access-level gating, and mandatory-acknowledgment tracking (with an optional quiz gate before sign-off)
- Legally-binding e-signature on any custom form — canvas or typed signature, IP + timestamp + explicit-intent audit trail, immutable once signed
- Policy publishing ties directly into the same signature infrastructure — no separate tool for HR-style acknowledgments
Running the organization, not just the calls.
Meetings & governance
Every volunteer department is also a small nonprofit corporation. This is the part nobody else builds for.
- Meeting scheduling with minutes, motions, and recorded votes (yea/nay/abstain)
- Full digital officer-election module — nominations, ballots, live results — for corps that elect their chief and officers
Community, events & fundraising
The public face of the department, and the revenue that keeps the lights on.
- Public department microsite with roster (opt-in), incident stats, and events — no separate website vendor
- Community events with signup/capacity tracking, hall-rental booking with conflict detection, and donor/campaign fundraising tracking that posts straight to the Finance ledger
- Opt-in public life-safety registry (oxygen-dependent, mobility-impaired residents) surfaced to the apparatus MDT by address on active-incident lookup
Finance & accounting
Budget-to-actual, dues, grants, and fixed assets — a real fund-accounting picture, not just an expense list.
- Budget categories with spent-vs-budgeted visualization, fiscal-year revenue/expense summary, and grant tracking
- Dues schedules with automatic delinquent/current/waived status per member, tied to the roster
- Full accounts-payable: vendors, purchase orders, bill payment, fixed-asset register with depreciation schedules, and a QuickBooks CSV/IIF export
Vs. the field: dues management is often the primary revenue source for a volunteer department, and most fire RMS vendors — including Station Boss — either don't have it or charge extra for it.
Know where the department stands, before an auditor or an insurer asks.
Analytics, ISO & custom reports
The reports that determine your community's insurance rates, always current instead of assembled once a year under deadline.
- Full 6-category ISO readiness score (response time, personnel, apparatus, equipment, training, inspections) with a letter grade per category and a branded PDF export
- VFIS risk-management and FEMA AFG grant-support PDF reports, generated on demand
- Cross-submission NERIS health dashboard with one-click retry on failed/rejected submissions
- Self-serve custom report builder across incidents, members, training, equipment, inspections, and LOSAP data — not just canned PDFs
Safety, OSHA & CISM
The recordkeeping OSHA requires, and the support structure firefighters actually need.
- OSHA 300/300A injury log with automatic recordable-case classification and CSV export
- Near-miss reporting open to anyone, anonymous option that never persists a reporter identity
- SDS chemical library, right-to-know accessible to every member on scene
Org relationships & compliance deadlines
Medical direction, insurance, government contracts, grant funders — the outside relationships every department depends on, with deadlines that don't get missed because someone forgot a renewal date.
- Tracks medical directors, hospital affiliations, insurance carriers, government/vendor contracts, and grant funders in one place
- Recurring-requirement tracking (annual, quarterly, one-time) with automatic compliant/due-soon/overdue status and document attachment per requirement
The infrastructure underneath everything else.
Maps, GPS & mutual aid
Territory, resources, and neighbors — visualized, not tracked in a binder.
- Live incident map, response-area polygon editor, and mutual-aid overlap visualization across departments
- Mutual-aid agreement tracking with expiry alerts
- Last-known member position snapshot on status change, shown on the apparatus MDT map
Station display & dispatch alerting
The wall-mounted TV in the bay, and the alert on every phone — built in, not a second subscription.
- Token-gated, no-login station display: active incidents, apparatus status, roster availability, duty schedule, NWS alerts, upcoming training, rotating automatically
- Push notification dispatch alerting (Expo, free at every tier) plus an optional SMS add-on — integrated with the roster and apparatus qualifications, unlike a standalone alerting app
Vs. the field: Active911-style alerting apps charge $2–5 per user, per month, on top of your RMS — $960–$2,400/year for a 40-member department. Reskyr's alerting is included and knows your certifications, apparatus qualifications, and schedule; Active911 never can.
Mobile app & address autocomplete
Built mobile-first because most members interact with the department from a phone, not a desk.
- Full member mobile app: incidents, roster, activity feed, LOSAP, offline incident-draft queue that syncs when back in range
- Address autocomplete on every address field platform-wide — a small thing that saves real time on a tablet in a moving truck
Built for volunteers. Priced like it.
The established vendors — ESO Fire RMS (Firehouse + Emergency Reporting), ImageTrend, First Due (formerly Records) — build for career departments with full-time administrative staff, then sell the same complexity to volunteers at enterprise, per-seat pricing. Station Boss targets volunteer departments directly but prices by incident volume and headcount, which punishes exactly the departments having a busy year.
