Do the practical work you already do. These cover the part that happens before and after it — in a format the people you are training already know how to use.
Nothing here replaces time on the apparatus floor. It is built around it.
The classroom half has always been the hard part. A slide can tell a firefighter what a flow path does. An app lets him open the wrong door, watch it go bad, and run it again — which is the only version of that lesson anybody still has a month later.
Being wrong on a screen costs nothing. That is the point of putting a sandbox in front of the class instead of a bullet list.
Out of the box these use a made-up department. Licensed, they use yours: your SOPs, your apparatus and riding assignments, your radio designations, your streets and your building stock. A recruit learns the way your district actually works instead of translating from somebody else's.
That is a build rather than a download, and it is the part worth paying for.
Ask about a department buildA department license starts at $1,500 a year and covers everybody who rides — no per-seat pricing, no minimum head count, no procurement cycle. A license for a training company starts at $2,500 a year and moves with how many classes you run. A tool built from scratch is a flat project fee.
Pricing is a written quote for your department, sent by email.
Request a quote or info@fireground.trainingThe apps all run at one address, fireground.training. Open to anyone — no email, no account, nothing to install. The open ones stay open — use one at the kitchen table, put it on the TV at a drill, send the link to the guy who keeps arguing with you about it. Share it as wide as you want.
Three of them sit behind an email gate because they are built on one real department's material — its calls, radio traffic, SOPs, gear — and that material is not mine to hand out to whoever finds the URL. There is nothing to buy to get in.
Open the apps or ask for the gated onesA licensed build puts your name on the masthead and your students on the access list, so they keep the tool after the class ends — which is the part of a class students actually still have next year.
Work around the fire service and want to show this to departments? The partner pilot.
A few departments get a build of their own this fall, ahead of the first full release. One company, one drill: your material in the app, your crew going back through it on their phones afterwards, and a short readout of what they got right and what they didn't. What I want back is the one call in your district this doesn't handle. That is the whole ask.
