Daily, weekly and monthly rig checks on the phone your crew already carries, with compartment inventory, expiration alerts and trouble tickets on the same login. Station Essentials covers Truck Checks and Inventory Control for $1,200 a year for the first station, or $900 for volunteer departments. No per-seat fees.
New in Readiness Checks 4.0: a red Not Ready status when a rig can't respond, QR labels on every unit, and checks that work with no cell signal.
Most small departments are choosing between a binder and software priced for a city. Emergency Logs is priced per station, not per member, device or rig, so a volunteer department can put every member and every apparatus on the system without counting heads.
Volunteer departments: $900 a year.
Truck Checks, Trouble Tickets & Work Orders, Inventory Control, Task Manager and Dashboards.
Need SCBA, PPE, ISO or narcotics tracking too? Full Suite is $2,400 a year for the first station, $1,800 for volunteer departments. Setup is $500, waived on a two-year term.
A truck check used to be a record of what the crew found. Now it tells you which rigs can respond, gets the problem to the person who fixes it, and works on a phone in the bay even when there is no signal.
Mark the items a rig can't run without. A failed critical item, a reading under your limit, missing equipment or an open ticket turns the unit red until it is fixed and verified.
A supervisor can put a Not Ready unit back in service with a written reason. Who, when and why are recorded, and the next critical failure takes the unit out again.
A daily, weekly, monthly or annual check that is past its cutoff shows Overdue on the Dashboard and Status Board until someone does it.
A full-screen board for the station monitor. Not Ready units come first in red, with open tickets, repairs to verify and overdue checks counted underneath.
A reminder goes out before the cutoff listing the rigs not checked yet. At the cutoff, a missed-check email with an Acknowledge link. If nobody answers, an escalation email and text. Failed sends retry on their own.
A failed item files a real ticket in the Tickets module. The next crew sees it open on the check instead of filing a duplicate, repeat failures are added to it, and a passing check verifies the repair.
Mark "Fluids added: Yes" and the check asks how much, then emails maintenance. Set it on any item, any answer, to any role. Each person gets one email, even when several items trigger.
Print a label for each unit. Scan it with the phone camera and that rig's checks open: start one, pick up where the last crew left off, or see who already finished.
Do the whole check in a dead spot, photos included. Everything stays on the phone and sends itself when signal comes back. Nothing to install.
Split the rig between three firefighters on one check. Answers show up on every phone within seconds, nobody overwrites anyone without being asked, and every answer shows who gave it.
Full-width Pass, Fail and N/A buttons sized for a gloved thumb. The number keypad comes up for odometer and engine hours. No sideways scrolling.
Tie an item to an equipment type, like a thermal imager. The check shows which one inventory has on the rig right now, records the result against that asset, and warns the crew if the rig is short.
Four packs on the engine means four rows on the check, each with its own pass or fail, notes, photo and ticket. Scan a pack's tag to jump straight to its row.
Move a broken imager from E-1 to E-2 and its open ticket moves with it. Each asset's history shows every check it passed or failed, on whichever rig it was on.
Build checks compartment by compartment with pass or fail, yes or no, readings, lists, notes and photos. Run them daily, weekly, monthly or annually, with items that only show on certain days.
Copy an engine check for the tender, or import one from another department. Alerts, critical items, list options and equipment links come along.
Fix a submitted check on the same form, with every change logged. Supervisors approve checks, and PDF or Excel exports go out one at a time or in bulk.
The same engine runs station walk-throughs: generators, bay doors, alerting systems and housekeeping, with the same alerts, tickets and Not Ready status.
This is a readiness check on an ambulance at shift change. Odometer, fuel and engine hours up top, then Pass, Fail or N/A on every item from your own checklist, with a photo on any failure. A fail opens a ticket for the mechanic.
A truck check tells you the rig is ready. Inventory tells you what is in it and when it expires. In Station Essentials they come together, so the crew checking the rig and the officer restocking it are looking at the same unit.
Every engine, ambulance and station is its own location with its own PAR levels, so a short rig shows up as short.
Medications and supplies are flagged before they expire, not found expired on a call.
What came off the rig is recorded against the unit, with a record of who moved what and when.
Barcodes and QR codes scan with the phone camera. No handheld scanners to buy.
The problem was never that crews would not do the checks. It was that the paper never made it to the person who could act on it.
A combination district replaced paper rig checks with a checklist their own people built. Fluid additions now email the chief, maintenance and admin before the crew leaves the bay, and all 18 apparatus show on one status board.
