Practical software for fire, EMS, and rescue agencies, so a department of any size can run on tools that actually fit how they work. See the call, keep the department organized, and know who is coming when the tones drop.
Volunteer and combination departments carry the same responsibilities as the largest career agencies, usually with a fraction of the budget. The software that could make their work easier is often priced for cities, not for a station with three engines and a roster held together by people who show up after their day jobs.
BeaconESS is Beacon Mid-Atlantic's answer to that gap. It brings together the tools departments actually spend their time on: seeing what is happening, keeping the department organized, and knowing who is coming when the tones drop.
Each piece stands on its own. Together they cover the station, the response, and the record.
The screen on the bay wall. The active call, the units, and the address, so everyone is looking at the same thing.
Explore FireHUDThe department's records and roster in one place: incidents, members, and the reports the paperwork asks for.
Explore FirePortalThe app in every responder's pocket. The tones drop, the call arrives, and the station sees who is coming.
Explore TurnoutA call comes in from dispatch, and the whole station reacts at once, along with everyone carrying a phone.
Your dispatch center sends the run. BeaconESS reads it in real time, no copying and no retyping.
FireHUD puts the call on the screen, sounds the tones, reads out the units, and lights the bay, the instant it is dispatched.
Turnout pushes the call to every responder. One tap says "I'm responding," and the station sees who is coming and when.
Every call and every responder lands in FirePortal, so the report is mostly done before anyone sits down to do it.
Beacon Mid-Atlantic is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. BeaconESS exists because the departments we work alongside kept describing the same problems, and the fixes were priced in a way no small company could justify against turnout gear or a new set of tires.
We build these tools with input from the people using them, and we keep them within reach of the agencies that need them. If your department wants to take a look, we would rather show you than sell you.
