What's new
Shipped this week
Ember is built in the open by a working firefighter and tested in a working department. This is what went out, when. Founding departments get every one of these the day it lands.
-
- Custom Reports. Officers and admins build and save their own reports from hours and timecards, scheduling and open-shift fills, certifications and calls, with their own filters.
-
- Training Library. Training and scenario videos, linked or uploaded. Scenarios can pause and ask a question; passing the quiz earns training credit.
- Inventory and safety reports. Issued gear by person and serial, station and unit supply counts, and reports for broken or lost equipment, vehicle accidents, injuries, exposures and near misses.
- Rig checks with photos. Attach a photo to a failed item or a reported problem; it travels with the maintenance queue.
- Calendar repeats. Daily, weekly, every other week, weekdays, monthly by date or weekday, yearly, custom, with this / following / all edits.
- Support circle. Free family accounts, a rough-shift heads-up, and guides for the people at home. Free for every responder, built with Your Axx Matters.
- Job board. Departments post for free, responders apply with their Ember profile. Departments not on Ember appear as outside listings with a link to their own site.
- Account basics. Forgot-password, email verification, a phone tab bar for the personal app, Terms and Privacy, cancel-anytime billing.
-
- Live CAD notes. Call notes keep updating for the whole call, and every call has a full detail page afterward.
- Call alert sounds. Pager tones, station bell, air horn, mechanical siren and more, or upload your own. Rounds of tone, then the call read aloud.
- Duty Board one-tap move and swap. Move a member between seats or apparatus, or swap two people, without touching their hours.
- Department calendar. Training, special events and ride-alongs with member sign-ups, and reminders 7 days out, the Monday of that week, and the morning of.
- Department quizzes. A quiz library, send to members, server-side grading, results in training history.
- Training tracking. Recert hours, annual requirements, compliance view, approval of outside training.
- Open-shift reminders. Still-open seats remind eligible members at times the department sets (default 48, 24 and 12 hours out).
- Crew change notices. Everyone on a shift hears when someone is added or removed, for shifts within 48 hours.
- New app, new site. Ember moved to a rebuilt app at app.ember411.com and this public site went live.
Dates are when each change was released to departments on Ember. Some items ship behind a department setting.
