First In Navigation is a tool made specifically for first responders trying to memorize the streets in their response area. It has 3 seperate modes for EMS, Fire, and Law enforcement. With our app, you can outline your exact response area. The app will then randomly generate calls within the drawn border. The app will then quiz and demonstrate how to get to or from the call. Fire and law enforcement mode will let you enter in stations, and route / quiz you from there to the call. EMS mode will let you enter in hospitals, and route / quiz you from the call to the hospital. Once you have a map set up how you want, you can permanently save the map and upload it to our database! Our database also lets users search by map name, map location, and coworker name. While anyone can easily set up a map, you may not have to as long as a coworker has saved and published a map! All routing data is imported from Mapbox for accurate and widespread mapping data. While designed for active first reponders, First In Navigation is open to everyone. Meaning even if you are not hired yet, you can still study your future response area now to enter the workforce with confidence. This app is cross-platform, meaning if you have already made an account or submitted a map on our website, it will still be accessible here! Start now to work and drive with confidence!

Features
Read full description

Ladder Math is a fast native iPhone drill for practicing ground ladder reach. Each round shows a reference ladder and target reach. Choose a different ladder, raise the rungs, and commit when you think the reach matches. Some rounds have no match, so the right answer is knowing when the rig cannot hit the target. Built by Bravest Bio, Ladder Math is designed as a focused training aid, not a video game. It works offline, requires no account, and keeps progress on your device. Features: - Matching rounds based on common ladder configurations - Real-time visual ladder extension - Local streak and score tracking - First-launch rules guide - No login, no ads, no analytics Ladder Math is a training drill only. Always follow your department policies, manufacturer guidance, and real-world ladder safety practices.
