Rescue Squad Software
Rescue squads handle a unique mix of fire suppression, technical rescue, EMS, and hazmat response — often with a combination of career and volunteer members. Station Boss supports the full spectrum of rescue operations with incident reporting that covers every discipline, equipment tracking for specialized gear, and personnel management that handles mixed staffing models.
