IT Solutions for Fire Chiefs: We've Got Your Six on Technology

• Budget pressure is constant in the realm of fire department technology. Technology must compete with apparatus, equipment, and personnel, meaning every dollar spent needs clear justification.

• You're not an IT expert—and shouldn't have to be. However, to provide IT leadership for fire chiefs, you need to make informed decisions and articulate them to your board.

• Compliance with regulations keeps you up at night. With standards like CJIS, HIPAA, and NFPA, the acronyms keep multiplying and the stakes continue to rise in cybersecurity for public safety.

• Your current IT support lacks an understanding of the fire service. They don’t grasp the significance of 24/48 shifts, mutual aid, or why the Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system absolutely cannot go down.

• Strategic planning for technology feels nearly impossible. You're too busy battling today's urgent issues (both literal and figurative) to prepare for the future technology needs of your department over the next 3-5 years.
