History

Fire Station came about when Mark's chief needed a software solution to the paper records that were being kept for training were getting hard to organize.  The chief knew Mark had a background in software development and asked him to write a program so that those training records could be kept electronically and be able to run reports using that data.

The training records program was such a time saver, that the chief then asked for a program to record the monthly apparatus checks.

Eventually, there were programs for Apparatus Checks, Expiration Date Tracking, Hose Testing, and Training.  These programs merged into Fire Station and the company was officially marketing it to other departments!

Since then, we have grown to over 650 departments across the United States, Canada, China, Africa, the Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand.
