Fire department software
One system for reports, crews, equipment, dispatch, and daily operations
Fire department software should do more than store incident reports. Station Boss gives departments a single place for NERIS reporting, RMS records, dispatch notifications, scheduling, training, preplans, inspections, equipment, documents, and administration.
Often called fire service software, this type of platform connects the records and daily workflows a fire department uses between calls and during response.
Every core module is included, pricing starts at $150/mo, and departments can evaluate the full platform without a long-term contract.

Trusted by Fire Departments Nationwide
“Honestly we just got tired of fighting our old system every time we needed to file a report. Switched to Station Boss and the guys actually fill stuff out now without me having to chase them down.”
Chief Mark Hensley
Greenfield Township Fire Department
“We are a small volunteer department and every dollar matters. Most software wants to charge you extra for every little thing. Station Boss just gives you everything in one package and the price actually made it through our board meeting.”
Chief Weddington
Mowbray Fire Department
“The preplans are what sold me. My guys can pull up a building layout on the tablet while they are still on the truck. That alone was worth the switch.”
Captain Derek Pettington
Lake County Fire Rescue
“I do IT for three stations and I used to spend half my weekends fixing sync problems with our old software. Have not had a single issue like that with Station Boss. It just works.”
Chief Kowalski
Brighton Area Fire Authority
“Our training records used to be a spreadsheet taped to the wall in the kitchen. I am not kidding. Now we get alerts when certs are about to expire and we are not scrambling the week before an audit anymore.”
Battalion Chief Sandra Morales
Rio Vista Fire Department
“We stuck with our old RMS way too long because we dreaded the migration. Station Boss moved everything over in about three weeks and the crew picked it up fast. Wish we had done it sooner.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Department Software
- What is fire department software?
