Fire Department Document Management
A digital filing cabinet for your entire department
What is Fire Department Document Management?
SOPs stored on a shared drive, training materials emailed as attachments, policies printed and pinned to a bulletin board — scattered documents are the norm in most fire departments. Station Boss provides a structured digital filing cabinet that organizes every document by category, makes everything searchable, and controls who can access what.
Create folders for SOPs, policies, training materials, contracts, and any other document category. Upload files of any type — PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, images, and videos. Every file is versioned, so you can see the history of changes and always access the current version.
Permission controls ensure sensitive documents like personnel files, legal correspondence, and financial records are visible only to authorized roles. Department-wide documents like SOPs and policies are accessible to everyone who needs them, on any device, at any time.
