Bulletins
Bulletins are one of the message channels available within FireQ. They are used to communicate important dates and notices, training for example. Bulletins can be created in the FireQ software or on the FireQ app. They can be sent immediately or scheduled, and they can be assigned an expiry date. Bulletins are received by firefighters in the FireQ app, text, and email. A list of current bulletins can be posted on the Notification Center.
