For volunteer, combination, and career fire & EMS departments

Recruits don't quit. They stop hearing back.

TurnoutFlow is one system for the application, the pipeline, onboarding, and the roster, so nobody goes quiet between “I want to join” and their first drill.

Setup takes days, not a budget cycle. Departments that start now have a working pipeline before the next class.

No credit card. Nothing to install. Nothing to sign on the call.

Where the pipeline leaks

Three places departments lose recruits, and what replaces each one.

Most departments do not have a recruiting problem so much as a follow-through problem. The interest is there. It leaks out at the same three spots every time.

The application is a PDF nobody finishes.

One mobile link. Candidates start on their phone, stop, and pick up where they left off instead of dropping out at the printer.

Nobody owns the follow-up.

A pipeline grouped by next step, so a recruit cannot sit at the same stage for three weeks without it being obvious.

Onboarding drifts for months.

Packets of videos, documents, quizzes, and sign-offs with due dates that track themselves. No chasing anyone at drill night.

Inside TurnoutFlow

See the screens your officers actually work in.

Real screens from the shipping product, with a demo department's data in them. This is what a coordinator sees after signing in, not a mockup.

Department staff dashboard showing certification, equipment, and skill readiness at a glance

What needs attention this week

Signing in answers the only question that matters on a Monday: expiring certifications, open equipment issues, the next drill, and where skill readiness stands.

Applicant pipeline grouped by status with next step and workflow actions per candidate

A pipeline grouped by next step

Candidates are grouped by status with the next action spelled out, so nobody sits at the same stage for three weeks without anyone noticing.

A roster that stays current

Ranks, badge numbers, and status for every member, with certifications, gear, and emergency contacts one click into the record.

Skill readiness matrix showing every member against every active skill with validated levels

Readiness you can actually see

Every member against every skill your department requires, with expired ratings flagged before you find out on a call.

Beyond Recruiting

The job doesn't end when they join.

TurnoutFlow follows the member past the application: onboarding packets, training and skill readiness, the gear they carry, and the rig they check.

Onboarding assignments and progress workspace with packet completion and grading queue

Onboarding that finishes itself

Assign a packet of videos, documents, quizzes, and sign-offs; track completion and overdue items without chasing anyone at drill night.

Operational checks readiness view listing expired, expiring, and failed items by rig

Truck checks that leave a record

Apparatus and bag checks on a cadence, with failures and expirations becoming open issues instead of a note nobody reads.

Asset registry with items needing attention and gear approaching mandatory retirement

Know who has what

PPE, SCBA, radios, and apparatus in one registry, including gear reaching its mandatory retirement date.

Who builds it

Built by fire and EMS service veterans.

TurnoutFlow is built by people from the fire and EMS service, for the coordinator doing this job on top of a day job. Nothing here needs translating from corporate HR software: the stages, the drill nights, the truck checks, and the gear are the ones your department already has.

Real screens, not mockups

Every screenshot on this page is the shipping product with a demo department's data in it.

Only fire and EMS

No generic HR product with a fire-service skin. One kind of customer, so the defaults fit the first day.

Members keep their own view

Tasks, hours, skills, and issued gear from their phone, without asking anyone at the station.
