As the chief of your fire department, you’ve built redundancy into all the tasks and procedures that guide your operations…
Except for how you alert your first responders about an emergency.
You rely on VHF pagers, which
-
are limited in range
-
and often forgotten at home
Plus, they’re one-way only, which means you can’t signal that you’re on your way.
FireQ offers you complete redundancy by simultaneously relaying your incident information to firefighters by
-
text,
-
phone,
-
email,
-
and push notifications.
Watch our video to learn more or view all FireQ features.
