Everything you need to follow the job.
Incidents are posted as they happen by the Fire Wire team. Pick the areas you care about and the app keeps up with the rest.
Live incident feed and map
Structure fires, all hands, multiple alarms, rescues, haz-mat and more, posted as they happen and pinned on the map.
Your areas, your alerts
Follow the boroughs and counties you care about and get push alerts only for those.
Every unit on the run
See the responding units, the address and the photo for each incident, with units color-coded by type.
Comments
Talk about the job with other members, right on the incident.
01 · Push alerts
Alerts for your areas.
The moment a job is posted, the alert lands on your lock screen with the alarm level, the address and the units assigned. No digging through a feed to find out what is going on.
- Alerts only for the areas you follow
- Alarm level, address and units in the notification
- Tap through to the incident, the map and the comments
02 · Incident detail
Every unit on the run.
Open any incident for the full picture: the address and box, a photo from the scene, a hybrid, street or satellite map, and every unit assigned. Unit chips are color-coded by type so you can read the response at a glance.
- Engines, trucks, rescue, marine, chiefs and special operations, each in its own color
- Like, share and comment on the job
- Updates as the incident grows
03 · Areas & alerts
Your areas, your alerts.
Toggle an area into your feed, then tap the bell to get push alerts for it. Follow a borough without the alerts if you just want to keep an eye on it. New York City is broken out by borough, with Long Island and more areas alongside it.
- Feed and alerts are separate switches for every area
- Pick your alert sound
- Change it any time from Areas & Alerts
04 · Dark mode
Built for the night tour.
Dark mode, big type and a clean map built for use in the field. Everything you need is one tap from the home screen: the map, the feed, the scanner and your areas.
- Light and dark mode
- Expand the map to full screen
- Wire and News tabs in one place
