Q: What makes Fireapps different than other time keeping options?
There are no other applications out there on the market specifically for wildland fire companies and contractors. Instead of trying to fit your company workflow around a cookie cutter time keeping app, often designed for office workers -- go with a tool designed by wildland fire personnel who know exactly what it's like to be on assignment, spiked out on the fireline, while still needing to report back to the home office. The relationships between crew members, captains, supervisors, duty officers, and other overhead, are the terms we natively speak. Our training encourages the chain of command, and other approaches you'll find in the field instead of white-collar corporate speak.
Q: How secure is the data stored on your platform?
Security is our top priority. We use industry standard security mechanisms. All data is stored in US based data centers, distributed across the USA, and all directly managed by our team of engineers. Our experienced software developers are all based in the United Stated with no data or development going overseas.
Q: What kind of customer support can we expect?
We are dedicated to your success! We have a wide variety of tools to assist you - from online documentation, training videos, email and chat support.
We provide support to crew supervisors or above. Individual employees need to either use self-help resources available or use the chain of command.
Technical support response times and methods are based on the plan you have purchased.
Q: What is the difference between basic and full data retention?
Basic data retention retains the final timecard data that was approved by overhead. All other data is purged. This will ensure that you can go back and always view what the final approved timecard was, and run reports against that final timecard data.
Full data retention retains all of the incremental data we collect during the time keeping process for a more extensive audit trail. This includes the ability to view all changes to a timecard prior to approval (such as employee or company changes to times, etc). It also retains (if enabled) GPS/location and other meta data collected during the time keeping process.
Data is retained for 8-years (except for free tier) so long as the company maintains an active agreement with Fireapps.
Q: How exactly do you count employees and how are they billed?
You should never have to pay monthly for employees that are not out in the field or otherwise working for you. As such, we do not charge for employees who are not currently on a timecard -- so people who are out injured, sick, vacation, demobilized crews, off-season, etc.
More specifically, this is calculated monthly as the maximum number of individual employees who were on a submitted timecard for a given month. For example, if you have three crews of 20 people, plus 5 backoffice staff -- if they all worked at least one day this month then you would be billed for 65 people. However, say next month one for your crews is waiting for an assignment and does not clock any time that following month, then the following month would only be 45 people. Then when the off season rolls around, perhaps you have only 3 office staff plus 2 supervisors you keep around for training -- then your monthly bill will reduce to only 5 employees. It does not matter how many employees you indicate are active or inactive.
Q: Do you really have 100% uptime?
Yes -- for all practical purposes -- to be exact our actual measured uptime is 99.999% -- between March 2017 and Jan 2026, we have been down for a total of 29 minutes and 32 seconds, which is less than 4 minutes per year, as monitored by the third-party service Uptime Robot. Per industry standard, that does not include downtime for scheduled maintenance or a minor bug that might impacts a specific feature of the app.
