❄️ Snow season is already here!
Snowstorms, severe weather, even coastal tides. There's a lot to keep an eye on!
With First Arriving + Baron Weather, critical weather information is visible right on your station dashboards.
No more "I didn't see that alert!" 🌨️

🚒 We're all set up at WFSAA in Madison, Wisconsin!
Looking forward to connecting with fire service leaders throughout the day.
Chuck will also be giving a quick presentation during lunch on how First Arriving helps departments keep critical updates visible, so "I never saw that update" becomes a thing of the past.
If you're here, come say hello! 👋

“Young people just don’t want to serve anymore.”

We hear it all the time. But new research from Harvard’s Making Caring Common project, Gallup, and the Walton Family Foundation found that 79% of Gen Z want a job focused on helping people.

So maybe the question isn’t why don’t they want to serve? Maybe it’s: Have we given them a reason to choose us?

We break it down in our latest blog: bit.ly/Blog-Gen-Z-Public-Safety-Recruitment

We just wrapped our latest webinar, "From Information Overload to Operational Confidence." If your agency's data lives in five different places, this one's for you. We cover how to make the information that matters visible to your team when they actually need it.
Watch the recording:

Public safety agencies have more operational data than ever, but that information often lives across disconnected systems, screens, and platforms. The challenge isn’t getting more data. It’s making the information that matters visible when and where teams need it.

Your department has access to more information than ever.
But does everyone who needs that information actually see it?
Important updates often pass through multiple people before reaching frontline personnel — creating opportunities for information to be missed, delayed, or lose context.
First Arriving helps bring that information together so your people can stay informed about what matters throughout the day.
The goal isn’t more information. It’s better access to the information that matters.
