Cloud-Based Fire Service Software

Modern Software for the Modern Fire Service.

FDTag is a cloud-based software platform being developed to help fire departments manage personnel, improve accountability, and make critical information available when it matters most.

Our two independent modules focus on Emergency Medical Information & Responder Accountability (EMIRA) and Personnel Management (PM). Departments will be able to choose either module or both.

Affordable. Practical. Modular.

What FDTag Is Being Built To Do

One platform. Independent modules.

Start with the module your department needs, or use both through one shared dashboard. Each is designed to work independently, with room to grow.

Module 01 · Emergency Access & Accountability

Emergency Medical Information & Responder Accountability

Important emergency information when it matters most.

EMIRA combines traditional accountability tags with modern tools for sharing important emergency information. Planned features include:

  • Customizable accountability tags: professional, department-branded card templates featuring member photos, identification, and QR technology.
  • Flexible printing: print-ready tags for departments, with options planned for adding QR codes to existing accountability cards.
  • Personal emergency profiles: firefighters maintain their own emergency contacts and relevant medical information.
  • Timely emergency access: critical, member-approved information can be shared quickly, while more sensitive details remain protected.
  • One profile, multiple departments: members serving more than one department can keep their emergency information in one place.
How EMIRA Works

Three steps. One connected emergency-access system.

From a personal profile to useful information in an emergency.

01

Create a secure profile

Firefighters maintain their emergency contacts and optional medical information in a private personal account.

02

Create accountability tags

Departments create customizable, print-ready tags or add QR codes to existing cards.

03

Access during emergencies

A QR scan helps responders reach approved critical information quickly, with additional privacy safeguards for sensitive details.

Module 02 · Department Administration

Personnel Management

Simpler personnel administration, from onboarding onward.

Help departments organize personnel records, reduce paperwork, and manage routine administration in one place. Planned features include:

  • Applications and onboarding: online forms and a more organized process for bringing new members into the department.
  • Department rosters: manage personnel, ranks, stations, assignments, and existing member identifiers.
  • Records and qualifications: keep department forms, certifications, and personnel files organized.
  • Reviews and internal reporting: support evaluations, personnel concerns, and department-managed follow-up.
  • Custom ID cards: create department-branded identification cards with professional templates and print-ready downloads.
  • Planned department communications: notifications and department-wide alerts by email or text.
  • Appropriate access: department permissions keep personnel administration separate from private medical information.
How Personnel Management Works

Three steps. One organized department.

Streamline applications, approvals, and ongoing records.

01

Set up your department

Department administrators configure personnel roles, stations, member access, and branded forms in a shared dashboard.

02

Process applications and forms

Applicants complete department-branded forms online. Authorized staff review submissions, follow up on missing details, and approve information for onboarding. Members can also submit certifications and other requested forms.

03

Manage personnel history

Keep rosters, qualifications, reviews, and personnel records organized with department-based access.

Flexible by design. Start with EMIRA, Personnel Management, or both. Customizable card creation is planned for either module; neither module requires the other.

Privacy & Security

Privacy designed in from the start.

FDTag is being designed to help responders find important, member-approved emergency information quickly while keeping additional sensitive medical details protected.

Firefighters will control their medical profiles, and department administrators will not automatically have access to private medical details. Secure access, careful data handling, and independent security review are central to the development plan.

Security guidance informing development

We are using established NIST and OWASP guidance as development benchmarks. Applicable medical privacy laws, including HIPAA where relevant, will be reviewed before real medical information is collected or used operationally.

Development status: FDTag is not yet certified or approved for real medical information or operational emergency use.

Built for departments

Built for volunteer, combination, and career departments that need practical tools without extra complexity.

The emergency medical information and responder accountability module will support established accountability practices.

Built for firefighters

Maintain one personal account, even if you work or volunteer with multiple departments. Keep your private emergency information current and, where departments subscribe to Personnel Management, complete personnel forms and share personal information and certificates for department review. Each department will manage its own personnel records and permissions, while your private medical information remains separate.

Built from Fire Service Experience

Developed by a 25-year fire service veteran and former Fire Chief.

FDTag is being developed by a firefighter with 25 years of volunteer service in a high-volume combination department, including service as its Fire Chief. That experience leading volunteer and career personnel in a demanding fire, rescue, and EMS environment shapes our approach to accountability, personnel management, and emergency information.

Our focus is practical tools that fit how fire departments actually operate.

Our Approach

Affordable. Practical. Modular.

FDTag is being built for volunteer, combination, and career fire departments of all sizes. We believe departments should have access to useful software without paying for features they do not need.

Both EMIRA (Emergency Medical Information & Responder Accountability) and Personnel Management will have their own subscription pricing tiers based on department size. Departments can subscribe to either module individually or choose both. Smaller departments will not be charged the same flat price as larger departments.

Specific subscription rates and introductory offers will be announced closer to launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions departments ask.

Does FDTag replace our existing accountability system?

No. FDTag is designed to supplement your department’s established accountability and incident command procedures, not replace them. Departments can also plan to use QR stickers with existing accountability cards.

Who can access a firefighter’s medical information?

Firefighters will choose what critical information they approve for quick emergency access. Other sensitive medical details will remain protected for appropriately authorized responders. Department administrators do not automatically receive medical access.

Can we use FDTag without Personnel Management?

Yes. EMIRA and Personnel Management are planned as independent modules. Departments can choose either one or both, and customizable card creation is planned for both.
