Note: "Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life." This App is a companion feature to the IamResponding system, which enables first responders to know who is responding to an incident, where they are responding, and when. This is used by fire departments, EMS agencies, police agencies, and many incident response entities and teams. The IamResponding system also includes text and audio incident notifications from CAD and/or from live pager audio, duty crew scheduling, inter-agency messaging, live chat, incident mapping with directions, mutual aid connections and information, pre-plans, customized information displays, NFIRS and other incident reporting, and much more. This App brings many of the primary features of the IamResponding system to mobile users in the field, in an easy-to-use and access format. **Please consult the QUICK START GUIDE provided to your department/team to correctly enable all of the app functions and notification features. If you do not do so, some features will not work correctly** **You MUST be a member of an entity with a current IamResponding subscription in order for this app to work** We do NOT monitor the Apple App Store for technical support issues, and we cannot reply to support issues posted as user reviews. **For any technical support needs or inquiries, please submit a Support Ticket (https://support.iamresponding.com/hc/en-us/requests/new). Please Note: If your dispatch messages are not currently processed through your department’s IamResponding system, that is a free configuration that can be done in almost any jurisdiction, and is included with your department’s IamResponding subscription. Your app will have more complete functionality if we enable that feature for you. Have your local system administrator submit a Support Ticket (https://support.iamresponding.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) to set this up.

About

Code360

Read full description

Code360 is the software a volunteer fire department runs on, and this is the part you carry. Your department manages incidents, personnel, apparatus, and NERIS reporting in Code360. This app puts the pieces you need away from a desk into your pocket: at the station, on the truck, and on scene. CALLS See today's calls as they come in. Sign in to a call, record which rig you rode in on and the role you filled, and sign your attendance right on the screen. Past calls stay searchable, with NERIS reporting status visible at a glance. APPARATUS Check what is in service before you roll out. Put a rig out of service the moment something breaks, with a note about what is wrong, and the whole department sees it immediately. ROSTER Look up any member, their rank and station, and call them without leaving the app. CALENDAR Training, meetings, work nights, and department events, with sign-ups where your department uses them. ANNOUNCEMENTS AND POSTS Department announcements arrive as notifications so nobody misses the ones that matter. The department feed keeps the rest of it in one place. MAP Your department's map with your own zones and hydrants, and your position on it so you can orient yourself on scene. MEETINGS AND HOLIDAYS Meeting minutes, and holiday shift coverage where your department schedules it. YOUR RECORD Your response rate, the roles you have filled this year, your time off, and your certifications. REQUIRES A DEPARTMENT ACCOUNT Code360 is sold to departments, not to individuals. Accounts are created by your department's administrators, so there is no sign-up in the app. If your department does not use Code360 yet, get in touch at code360.app.
