Built by fire service, for fire service

Operational software fire departments actually need

Ember Analytics builds tools for the administrative weight that lands on fire officers every shift. Force-hire eligibility, pre-incident planning, crew training, daily field management. All of it built by a fire captain still working the job.

Thirteen tools, grouped by the job they do.

These aren't features that came out of a product roadmap. Each tool in this suite exists because Brian Hollis ran into a real operational gap and built his way out of it.

Scheduling & Overtime
Shift Scheduler dashboard
📅
In Development
Shift Scheduler

Shift scheduling built by a fire captain, not a software vendor. Handles 24/48, 24/72, 48/96, Kelly cycles, Debit Days, and hybrid rotations without forcing your department to bend to a template. Overtime tracking, leave management, and open-shift notifications are built in from the start.

  • Automatic CBA-aware OT eligibility list
  • Open shift broadcast with accept/decline workflow
  • Leave request approval with coverage checks
  • Week, month, and rotation-cycle views
  • Minimum staffing alerts before they become a problem
Training & Personnel
🎓
Live
DOR / FTEP Evaluation System

Digital DORs and FTEP milestone tracking for probationary firefighters. Every shift documented, FTO sign-offs recorded, performance trends visible to supervisors without digging through paper binders.

  • Daily observation report forms (DOR)
  • Probationary milestone tracking
  • Field training officer assignment & sign-off
  • Performance trend visibility for supervisors

Personnel & Department Lists

One roster of record that every other tool reads from. Assignment, rank, station, shift, EMS level, hire date and contact info stay in one place, and the DOR, sign-up and eligibility tools pull their name lists from it instead of each keeping a copy that drifts.

  • Single source of truth feeding DOR, scheduling and eligibility lookups
  • Filter by division, shift, rank or station — stackable, instant
  • Full member record: assignment, EMS level, service dates, contact
  • FTO and training qualifications flagged on the member
  • Search by name, employee number, station, rank or email
Tabletop Exercise Builder
🎯

Tabletop Exercise Builder

Scenario design and facilitation for company and command-level training exercises. Build a credible multi-agency tabletop in hours, with documentation that holds up to after-action review.

  • Customizable scenario templates
  • Multi-agency exercise coordination
  • Participant sign-up and tracking
  • After-action documentation
Resource Reservation System

Prevention & Investigation
🏗️
Live
ASHER Target Hazard System

Pre-incident planning built for suppression crews, not administrators. Every target hazard in the mutual aid zone documented, ranked by priority, and readable in the seconds you have on the way in — building profile, hazard flags, water supply, access, and the tactical objectives that follow from them.

  • Facility-level hazard documentation
  • Suppression crew quick-reference views
  • Map-integrated critical infrastructure
  • Access, utility & contact information
🔎
Live
Initial Origin & Cause Report

The investigator’s initial report, start to filed, in one pass. Twenty-two sections follow the scientific method through scene examination and classification, photos and a scene diagram embed as you go, and enclosure PDFs merge onto the end. Nothing leaves the device until you download the finished report.

  • Twenty-two guided sections with a jump rail and draft save
  • Photo log and scene diagram embed directly into the report
  • CAD, NFIRS, weather, tax assessor and roster PDFs merge onto the end
  • One combined, searchable PDF ready to file in Laserfiche
  • Runs entirely in the browser — no data leaves the investigator’s device
💰
Live
Value Saved Worksheet

The number your chief gets asked for at budget time, calculated the same way every time. The BC or IC completes it before the scene is released: suppression mode, fire stage on arrival, and a confidence tier, then each exposure node valued separately. Loss and value saved come out the other end with the assumptions written down.

  • Completed by the BC or IC before the scene is released
  • Confidence tiers keep defensible numbers separate from estimates
  • Per-node valuation for every structure and business at risk
  • Totals recalculate live — structures, revenue, loss, value saved
  • Exports to CSV, JSON or a filed PDF
Displays & Communication

Stall St. Journal

Safety information where people will actually read it. Each issue is a single broadsheet built around one hazard — the physics, the phase-by-phase response, the quick-reference matrix, and the contacts — laid out to be absorbed in the four minutes somebody is sitting there. Print it, post it, and the training happens without a class.

  • One hazard per issue, front to back, no continuation pages
  • Quick-reference matrices and contact tables built for glance reading
  • Fireground case studies written from real lessons, not vendor copy
  • Print-ready broadsheet, posts anywhere in the station
  • Department-branded and written to your SOPs

Incident & Operations Reporting

Reporting dashboards that pull operational data and generate the outputs your chief needs for city council briefings and accreditation reviews. No manual data pulls.

  • Automated performance dashboards
  • Response time analytics
  • Staffing trend reports
  • City council & accreditation reporting

Why departments choose Ember Analytics

Most public safety software comes from vendors whose staff has never worked a shift. The design decisions reflect that.

🔥
Built from the Inside

Every tool started as a problem Brian Hollis ran into on shift. Not a feature requested on a survey. A real operational gap that cost time on a real call.

⚖️
CBA-Accurate Logic

Eligibility tools are built to match your department's specific CBA language. Consecutive-day caps, rotation rules, and exemption logic come directly from your contract. Generic approximations create grievances. These don't.

⚡
Fast to Deploy

No 18-month enterprise implementation. Most tools go live within a few weeks and connect to the scheduling platforms your department already uses, including CrewSense and TeleStaff.

What fire officers say

The MOT tracker cut our force-hire call time from 20 minutes to under 3. We used to have captains cross-referencing spreadsheets and the collective bargaining agreement at the same time. Now the list is just there.

ASHER finally replaced the binder system we'd been dragging to pre-plans for 15 years. Crews can pull up a target hazard from the apparatus on the way to a call. That's the only version of pre-incident planning that actually gets used.

Municipal fire department, Willamette Valley

The tabletop builder let us run a full multi-agency exercise with 40 participants and complete documentation in one afternoon. We used to spend two weeks building the scenario in PowerPoint and still end up with a mess.

The founder has sat in your seat

Ember Analytics was founded by Brian Hollis, a Fire Captain with 30 years across volunteer fire, hospital emergency medicine, and career fire service at Salem Fire Department. He spent 10 of those years as a SWAT medic and holds command-level HazMat certification.

Every tool started as a real problem Brian ran into on the job. A force-hire process too slow for a 0300 callout. Pre-incident plans in binders nobody updated. Training coordinators managing rosters over text message.

An outside vendor can ask fire departments what they need. Brian knows without asking. That's the difference in how these tools are built.

"I built the tools I wished existed when I was making force-hire calls at 0300, trying to stay compliant with a CBA I had memorized but couldn't cross-reference fast enough. These tools don't guess at what fire departments need. They're built by someone who still works the job."
