Tracking your Teams

The Firefighter Response System is designed to work like your agency does and tracks each of your teams with tabs. You can think of tabs as groups or teams of members. In most cases, an agency will have a tab for each station, as well as any special teams such as Hazmat, SAR, Water Rescue, and Technical Rescue teams if those need to be tracked. This allows each station or team to only view their responding, on-duty, available, or unavailable data vs having to try and sort their responders from all the other teams. Viewing the entire agencies data or another station or team is as simple as clicking on the tab you want to view.

Each tab (other than "All Tabs") is given a unique toll free number. These numbers are programed in your members' speed dial and allows for a true "one-button" response method. If an agency has two tabs such as station 1 and station 2, members who respond to both stations would program station 1 numbers in speed dial one and station 2 number in speed dial two. Then, depending on what station he or she is responding to, the respective speed dial button would be pushed. For those members who only respond to one station, they would only program their station or team's number in their speed dial. While this method is more expensive for our firm, we believe the safety in not having a member push more than one button during a call is well worth the extra cost. We want members to focus on traveling safely to the station or scene and not on pushing multiple buttons and following a phone tree when they call in.
