Incident Reporting

FireQ automatically creates an incident report that includes dispatch information and the firefighters who responded using FireQ.

FireQ Internal Incident Reports​

The internal FireQ incident report collects the most common types of data captured in a fire incident report. Firefighters hours are calculated from data contained within the internal FireQ report.

The FireQ incident report captures:

  • Time and date details of the incident.

  • The apparatuses involved in the incident.

  • The firefighters who responded to the incident.

  • Extra notes.

  • Attached files.

FireQ will use the DEPART TIME and the RETURN time to calculate the numbers of hours earned by firefighters. If this information is not filled out, no hours will be calculated.

How to Capture What Apparatus Firefighters Were Assigned To​

Firefighters who have responded to a specific incident can be attached to responding apparatuses.

To add a firefighter to a specific apparatus, click the red plus button. From the drop-down menu, select the appropriate apparatus and place a check mark by the names of the firefighters who were on that apparatus.

How to Exempt a Firefighter from an Incident​

Firefighter hours are calculated using data from the incident report and comparing that data to the total number of incidents for the fire department. Firefighters who cannot respond due to injury (or other valid reason) would then have lower participation ranks.

To exempt a firefighter from a specific incident, click the EXEMPT button.
