FireQ is an end-to-end Records Management and Emergency Communication System designed specifically for Fire and EMS departments by Breton SmarTek. Its strength lies in its two-part architecture, integrating a robust, cloud-hosted RMS desktop software for administrative tasks (Personnel, Training, Equipment tracking) with a powerful mobile app for field operations. The platform ensures critical response redundancy by dispatching alerts via multiple channels, while the app provides real-time situational awareness via mapping, responder tracking, and instant access to pre-incident plans.
