One system for the three things a small fire department has to get right and has the least time to spend on.
Built for paid-on-call and volunteer departments — the ones with fifteen members, eight rigs, and about twenty minutes a month for training on software.
Designed to be usable with gloves on, at two in the morning, by someone who has not opened it in a month.
Run a check from a phone in the bay. A failed item opens a deficiency with a photo, and the chief knows without anyone having to remember to tell him.
Drag crews onto assignments, hit benchmarks, run PAR, raise a MAYDAY. The report writes itself from what happened on the board.
Who is on scene, who is riding what, and a personnel accountability report on a timer. Not an afterthought bolted onto a records system.
Registration, state inspection, pump test and service intervals, with the dates coming due in front of you instead of in a binder.
Hazards, shutoffs, Knox box and the nearest draft site — on the station monitor the moment a page lands, with no taps. Dry hydrants and shuttle capacity modelled as real records.
NERIS submission, the Minnesota one-week fire report, council PDFs and a spreadsheet export of everything. Your data stays yours.
Honest status, because a department deserves it before a sales pitch.
ValkFire is being built with a rural paid-on-call department in central Minnesota. It is not generally available and it is not taking sign-ups.
The demo is a sandbox with made-up data. Nothing you do in it is real and nothing is shared with anyone.
