Drill Deck is the training officer in your pocket. Whether you are a volunteer alone at the hall or a career firefighter with a crew on shift, tell it who is training and what you have on hand, and it hands you a drill you can run right now. 300+ HANDS-ON DRILLS • SCBA, hose, ladders, search, forcible entry, ventilation, pump operations, rope, extrication, RIC, size-up and more • Solo drills you can run alone, and crew drills for two or more • Step-by-step, with target times, PPE, safety stops, and ways to make it harder • Every drill names the NFPA standard section behind it, so you can look up the source • No engine today? Turn on minimal equipment and keep training TRAIN IN ONE TAP • Pick Solo, Partner, or Company and assign seats on one phone • Finish with a quick after-action review and a score • Same skill again, something random, or make it harder YOUR DEPARTMENT'S WAY • Every drill reads like your officer at the tailboard, and your SOP always comes first • Check any drill against your SOP in about 30 seconds: same here, we do it different, or we skip it • Set your station's words once (RIT or FAST, Engineer or Chauffeur) and every drill uses them • Trade SOP packs with your crew by AirDrop or Messages KNOW YOUR DISTRICT • Outline your first due on the map and place your fire house • Take a dispatch to a real address with cross streets • Drive the call street by street and see how your route compares YOUR TRAINING RECORD • Every session logged automatically, on your device • Streaks, averages, and history • Printable drill cards • Pro: export your record and print a training report LINK UP (OPTIONAL) • Open a room with a join code and run the same drill together • Sign in with Apple and a callsign — no name or email collected SHIFT REMINDERS AND WIDGET • Reminders that follow your rotation: weekly, 24/48, 24/72, 48/96, or Kelly • Today's drill on your Home Screen PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no analytics, no tracking.
