The FireQ Notification Center is the primary dashboard and home to the features that provide your fire department with information. From here, you can manage emergency information during an incident, as well as the communication required to manage the fire department. This dashboard provides an overview of recent:

• Bulletins
• Alerts
• Announcements
• Off Duty Members

During an active incident, the FireQ software displays a list of responders that includes an estimated time of arrival for each firefighter based on their location when they responded.  The colour coded list provides a count-down timer to show how far each member is from the fire hall and a count-up timer for those who indicated that they would go directly to the scene.  The incident screen also displays a map of the incident location.

Bulletins are notifications that are sent to all members through the FireQ app, as well as visible in a stickie message on the FireQ Notification Center.  They can be used as reminders about upcoming training, fire department events and other things. They can be created with an expiry date so that the message will disappear automatically.

With the send message feature in the FireQ software, you can quickly create and send messages to individual firefighters, to groups or to everyone in the department.  Messages can also be sent right away or scheduled to go out at a later date.

With FireQ, you can self-dispatch your firefighters by creating an incident within the software.  Using the create incident feature, you enter the type of emergency and its location and messages are sent to each firefighter with the dispatch details.

The Responders Add/Edit tab allows you to add new responders, edit current ones and much more.  From here, you can see a list of the firefighters in your department that includes their name, rank, and contact information.  You can also quickly see where each firefighter is in the set-up process of getting set up with FireQ.

FireQ gives you control over access to your system and to whom you give it. The security of your FireQ system is important to you and it is important to us.  The administrator of your FireQ system can grant specific access to each member of the fire department based on their roles within the department.

Creating groups within FireQ makes it easier to create targeted messaging. 

Groups can be created for such things as specialized teams, department officers and firefighter qualifications.

The Member Overview feature in FireQ tracks hours and participation and provides the information in total hours, as well as a percentage of total participation.  You can see how often a firefighter is training, responding to incidents, participating in other activities, as well as how many hours are dedicated to each.  Member statistics can be used to provide members of their department with quarterly updates on their performance; to watch for deficiencies that could endanger the firefighter; to simplify reporting responsibilities; and, to reward firefighters who are giving it all. 

With FireQ, you can easily see and track the years of service provided by each member of the fire department.  You can use FireQ to track enrolment dates for each fire and their total years of service, as well total years of service if they have worked in other departments.

The incident log, at a glance, lets you see a list of the incidents to which you have responded.  The list includes the time and date of the call, the type of call and its location.  It also details which reports have been completed and which are still pending.  Reports can be sorted by status or date range.

The FireQ apparatus log helps you track fire department apparatus.  It includes maintenance logs and expiry reminders that help ensure compliance with NFPA standards.

The FireQ equipment log helps you track fire department equipment.  It includes maintenance logs and expiry reminders that help ensure compliance with NFPA standards.

The FireQ training log helps you to track firefighter training.  It tracks the hours firefighters dedicate to training and that information is included in the calculation of firefighter statistics.

The FireQ certificate log helps you to track firefighter certifications and their expiry dates.  It tracks the hours firefighters dedicate to acquiring each certificate and that information is included in the calculation of firefighter statistics.

The FireQ activity log lets you track all those “other” things you do to support the fire department.  They could include such things as fundraisers and other community events.
