Sound familiar?
The clipboard had a good run.
Truck checks on paper that nobody can find when an inspector asks.
Group texts that bury the one message that mattered.
A spreadsheet that only one person understands.
Dragon App puts it all in one place, on the phone every member already carries.
What it does
Everything the firehouse tracks. One app.
SCBA inspections
Scan the pack or cylinder label with the camera. A failed critical item marks the unit out of service and alerts officers.
Gear and wash log
Yearly gear inspections and every wash on record, with reminders when gear is due.
Requests
PPE, training, letters and room reservations go to the right officer, and members get an answer.
Certifications
See who is current and who expires soon, with reminders before an inspector asks.
Duty crew and calendar
Sign up for duty days, RSVP to events and see what is coming up.
Document library
Post SOGs and notices. See who has signed and who still needs a reminder.
Officer dashboard
Everything waiting for review in one place, plus a deficiency report you can print.
Also in the app: firehouse cleaning lists, drills, LOSAP tracking, an audit log and backups.
No more finding out late
When something fails, officers hear first.
A failed critical item on an SCBA inspection marks the unit out of service and alerts the officers right away. A problem on a truck check goes to their inbox the moment it is submitted.
Example alert
