A system for the fire service, by the fire service

Stop solving it alone. The whole fire service, in one place you can ask.

FireGPT puts the collective knowledge of the fire service — every report, every SOG, every near-miss, every line-of-duty-death investigation — into one system any firefighter or department can just ask.

Built by firefighters. Trained on our own work. Belongs to the people it serves.

The problem

Tens of thousands of departments. Almost no shared memory. The same hard lessons, relearned.

The SOG you spent a year getting right stays on your shared drive while a department three towns over writes the same one from scratch. The hardest lessons sit in reports nobody reads.

Across more than 27,000 U.S. fire departments — career, combination, and volunteer — standard operating guidelines, after-action reviews, and training programs live in silos. NIOSH line-of-duty-death reports, near-miss submissions, and NFPA standards sit in PDFs nobody has time to read on shift. The collective experience of the fire service exists. It just isn't reachable when a company officer needs it at 0300.

How we fix it

One system trained on the fire service's own work, that any firefighter can just ask.

Reports, SOGs, near-misses, and line-of-duty-death investigations, queried in plain language. Answers grounded in what the service already knows — not a tech company's guess about a job they have never done.

FireGPT pulls from fire service source material — NIOSH LODD investigations, contributed SOGs, near-miss reports, and after-action documents — and returns answers a firefighter, company officer, training officer, or chief can defend against the underlying source. Citations point back to the document, the department, and the lesson.

READ WHAT IT IS →

What it is

A fire service knowledge system. Trained on the work. Owned by the people it serves.

Describe your call, your problem, or your department in plain words. FireGPT hands you what the whole service already knows — in seconds.

  • How departments like yours handle this.
  • What went wrong on the last fire that looked like this one.
  • The smartest way to set up the operation in front of you.

FireGPT covers the work the fire service actually does: structure fires, wildland-urban interface, hazmat, technical rescue, EMS response, fireground command, accountability, RIT operations, mayday protocols, and post-incident review. The system is trained on the documents departments already trust, so answers map to NFPA 1500, NFPA 1561, NFPA 1700, and other consensus standards firefighters already work to.

Built for career, combination, and volunteer departments — from one-station rural agencies to metro fire departments running dozens of companies — because the underlying job is the same and the lessons travel.

What you can do

Four ways to put the whole service to work. One conversation.

Each one answers a question your crew, your shift, or your chief keeps coming back to. Built by a practitioner. Defensible by design.

01 · ASK

Ask it anything.

Question the collective experience of the fire service in plain language — the way you would ask the senior member on your crew.

02 · LEARN

Learn the lessons.

See what has gone wrong before, including in line-of-duty-death investigations, so your crew never relearns it the hard way.

03 · ADOPT

Adopt what works.

Pull the best SOGs, training, and programs other departments already spent years perfecting.

04 · SEE

See the patterns.

Understand what is really driving injuries and deaths, so you know where to act first.

Why it is different

Built from our own work.

FireGPT learns from the fire service's own reports, standards, and hard-won lessons — and it belongs to the people it serves.

As NERIS, near-miss reports, and new research come in, it only gets sharper. Not a tech company's guess about a job they have never done.

Most general-purpose AI assistants answer fire service questions from generic internet content. FireGPT is grounded in fire service source documents: NIOSH Firefighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention Program reports, the Firefighter Near-Miss Reporting System, contributed standard operating guidelines, training bulletins, and after-action reviews. Every answer can be traced back to the document it came from, so company officers, training officers, and safety officers can defend the recommendation in front of their chief, their union, or their AHJ.

FireGPT is decision support — not a replacement for incident command judgment, departmental SOGs, or the authority having jurisdiction. It is a way to make the fire service's institutional memory reachable in the seconds and minutes that matter.

The proof

We started with the hardest lessons of all.

One pattern surfaced again and again: in roughly 9 of every 10, a procedural failure was named as a contributing factor.

The lessons are already there. FireGPT makes them reachable.

Frequently asked

Straight answers about FireGPT.

What is FireGPT?

FireGPT is a fire service knowledge system that answers plain-language questions using fire service reports, standard operating guidelines, near-miss reports, and NIOSH line-of-duty-death investigations.

Who is FireGPT built for?

Career, combination, and volunteer fire departments in the United States — firefighters, company officers, training officers, safety officers, and chiefs who need answers grounded in fire service source material.

What source material does FireGPT use?

At launch, 747 NIOSH line-of-duty-death investigations were analyzed, alongside contributed SOGs, near-miss reports, and after-action material. New sources such as NERIS are added as they become available.

How is FireGPT different from ChatGPT or other general-purpose AI?

General-purpose models answer fire service questions from generic internet text. FireGPT is grounded in fire service source documents and built by firefighters, so answers are defensible against the underlying material.

What are the limitations of FireGPT?

FireGPT is decision support, not a replacement for incident command judgment, departmental SOGs, or AHJ authority. Coverage depends on ingested source material and is expanding over time.

Who builds and owns FireGPT?

FireGPT is a product of Incident Management Technology (https://www.imtfire.com), built by firefighters for the fire service.

How much does FireGPT cost?

The mission

The fire service has always taken care of its own. FireGPT does it at a scale we have never been able to reach.

No firefighter, and no department, should ever face a problem alone — or relearn a lesson another firefighter already paid for with their life.
