About this app

FireSync is not merely a Firefighter Shift Calendar, it's also a full-featured calendar app with powerful cloud-enabled features just for firefighters. Whether or not you want to keep track of your trades, overtimes, or just your kid's soccer practices, FireSync can do it all. It also includes many powerful features such as CertTracker, Expenditures, and is fully integrated with FireSync Enterprise™ and TheHouse™ cloud services.

Before you buy another shift calendar app ask yourself:

1. Do you have to pay an annual subscription for the calendar? Not with us! We support firefighters by letting you keep more of your hard-earned money. Is there a better way?

2. Is it also a full-featured calendar app? FireSync isn’t just a firefighter shift calendar, it’s also a full-featured calendar app that fully integrates with your phone's calendars. FireSync events are saved to your calendar and can be seen on other phone's using the same calendar account (e.g. phones used by family members). FireSync is more than a good firefighter calendar. It’s a good calendar app period!

3. Will you find yourself staring at the app for 15 minutes just figuring out how to use it? FireSync has a sleek modern design that is intuitive to use.

4. Does it include powerful cloud-enabled features? If your fire department uses FireSync Enterprise™ or TheHouse™ you can view all of the additional data and applets shared by your department or station from within FireSync.

!!! SHIFT SUPPORT !!!

FireSync supports any 24-hour shift schedule that repeats on a predictable cycle. FIRESYNC COMES PRELOADED WITH THE SHIFT CYCLES FOR OVER 1,400 FIRE DEPARTMENTS! If you do not see your fire department no problem. Our intuitive shift editor allows you to easily create your shift schedule. You can also share it with us so that others in your firehouse or department can quickly be up and running.

Although FireSync does not fully support 12-hour shifts, we have countless users using FireSync to display their 12-hour shifts. If you want to display YOUR SHIFT (not all shifts) you can create 12-hour shifts.

Kelly and Debit Days. Does your fire department use Kelly and Debit days? No problem. FireSync allows you to show both Kelly and Debit days. You can define them by rule or by specifying specific dates.

FLSA: FireSync allows users to add FLSA periods to their calendar.

Other Features:

1. Ability to add and track ordinary events, trades, overtime, comp time, benefit days, incidents and training. Since FireSync is also a full-featured cal you can also see these events on other calendars and other devices sharing the same calendar account (e.g. spouse). FireSync is your all-in-one calendar app.

2. Sleek reports that give you the info you need at a mere glance. View your shift trades, overtimes, comp time, benefits accrued or used, training and fire incidents with ease. You can also email your reports.

Ratings and reviews

As an EMS wife it's difficult to schedule family events without having hubby's shift calendar on hand. This app is almost exactly what I was looking for! I would like to suggest that the devs. Try to alphabetize the station selection by state then department name. I ended up creating my own because it was too difficult to see if our station already existed. The app automatically imported our existing calendar over the shifts with the right app allowances on. Won't lose it either it's not paper!

The app itself is very handy for tracking things like when you're in shift or on Kelly day. However, the "benefits" tracking, like setting trade/overtime days" don't save, which means a majority of the features of the app don't even work. Edit: turns out my issues were a user error.. the benefits won't save unless you setup and verify your work email. It's fixed and working well now! I've updated my rating to reflect that change.

Original 7/7/16 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I wouldn't mind being able to make this calender a widget on my home screen instead of having to open up the app everytime I want to see what my itinerary is for the day. Other than that awesome app! Edit 11/3/23 ⭐ Damn still no widget? C'mon it's 2023! This app has been around for years. I still stand by my original review that this app is great but juggling my own calendar, a shared one with the wife, and this one is too cluttered especially when I add OT and training.
