Release Notes Release notes for all Fire Station Software products. What's New March 11th, 2026 This release includes new reports, new features, and several bug fixes across Fire Station Online. EMS Data from Quick Calls in NERIS The EMS tab from Quick Calls is now available for use in NERIS calls. Calls At Location Report The Calls At Location report is now available in Fire Station Online. This report allows you to view all calls that occurred at a specific location, with support for geo-filtering using coordinates on NERIS calls. Incident Type Report The Incident Type report is now available, allowing you to generate reports broken down by incident type. Active911 Settings Page Errors Fixed two issues on the Active911 Settings page. The first was a "No Save Context Available" error that appeared when opening the settings page. The second was the Alerts tab getting stuck on "Pending" when reloading alerts. The Alerts tab fix also resolves a broader issue where progress and completion updates for background tasks were not being delivered to the browser. Units & Location Not Syncing on Converted Calls Fixed a bug where setting a location on the Basic tab or entering units on the Units tab of a converted Quick Call or NFIRS call was not syncing those changes to the Dispatch tab. Payroll Report Error Fixed an error that caused the Payroll PDF report to fail for certain departments with a database error. The report now generates correctly for all departments. Location Search Coordinate Detection Fixed a bug where street addresses containing multiple numbers (e.g., "108 6th Ave") were incorrectly detected as GPS coordinates in the location search. The coordinate detection now requires decimal points with sufficient precision, preventing false matches on normal street addresses. March 5th, 2026 This release includes new reports and several bug fixes for Fire Station Online Incident Reporting. Incident Type Report A new Incident Type Report is now available in Fire Station Online. This report allows you to view a breakdown of incidents by their type over a selected date range, making it easier to analyze call trends and identify patterns in incident activity. Calls at a Location Report A new Calls at a Location Report has been added to Fire Station Online. This report allows you to search for a location and view all calls that have occurred at that location. The report supports searching by address, and includes filtering options to narrow results by date range and call type. Call Saving Reliability Improvements Significant improvements have been made to the reliability of saving NERIS calls in Fire Station Online. The real-time connection between Fire Station and the server has been reworked to better handle acknowledgments, reconnections, and concurrent edits. These changes address issues where calls could fail to save or edits could be lost under certain conditions. Location Picker Fix An issue has been fixed where the location picker on NERIS calls could display an error when selecting a location. This was caused by an issue with address parsing that has been corrected. Call Loading Failure Fix A bug has been fixed where certain calls could fail to load due to sparse array corruption in the call merging process. This could occur when editing calls that had been previously saved with certain data patterns, resulting in an error when trying to open the call. February 16th, 2026 February 3rd, 2026 This release includes the following bug fixes: Call Attendance Report Percentage The  Call Attendance Report in  Fire Station Online has been updated to show the correct percentage in the table. This had previously been broken when we updated this report to sort by the total calls attended. Before the fix, the report would generate percentages that look like this: Now, with the fix made, the percentages are correctly placed: 2026 February 3rd, 2026 This release includes the following bug fixes: Call Attendance Report Percentage The  Call Attendance Report in  Fire Station Online has been updated to show the correct percentage in the table.

The coordinate detection now requires decimal points with sufficient precision, preventing false matches on normal street addresses. 2025 December 16th, 2025 This release includes a few enhancements to the NERIS incident reporting process in  Fire Station Online . Updating Address from Active911 Fixed A fix has been deployed to allow you to update the street number of addresses when importing the address from an Active911 alert. Ampersand in Active911 Addresses If there is an ampersand in the address of an alert imported from Active911, and the ampersand is separating two street names, the streets will be imported as cross streets in NERIS now. Payroll Rate on Non-Emergency Events In  Fire Station Online , the training rate was used insted of the call rate for non-emergency events when running the payroll report. This has been corrected to match the desktop app and use the call rate for non-emergency events. December 9th, 2025 This release includes various improvements as described below: Personnel Suffix In NERIS & Reports Fire Station Online has been updated to show a person's suffix, in their name, while addins someone to a NERIS call: When printing a NERIS call: And on various reports, such as the  Year Summary Report : Other Insurance Information for NERIS Calls A section for  Other Insurance Information has been added to the  People Involved tab on NERIS calls. This can be used to track insurance information when the incident does not involve vehicles. Car insurance information should still be added to the  Vehicles tab, under the  Car Insurance Information section. Water Source In  Water/Foam Usage Report Incident Table The  Water/Foam Usage Report has been updated to show water source details from NERIS incidents in the incident row, in addition to the per-water source tables. When water source information is not entered the report remains unchanged except for being in landscape now, to allow for more room in the table. Trucking Company Mobile Keyboard Fixed Previously, all the fields in the  Trucking Company section of the  Vehicles tab of a NERIS call showed the numeric keyboard instead of a full keyboard. This has been fixed. November 25th, 2025 This release adds support for marking attendees at non-emergency events as  Excused so that they still get credit for attending, but there is a record that they did not attend.   Non-Emergency Event Attendee Status To mark an attendee as excused, click the pencil icon next to the attendee's name while entering or updating a non-emergency event: This opens the attendee details. A new  Status field has been added. You can select  Excused or type in any text you wish. Attendees marked as  Excused will appear with a line through their name. The  Print page has also been updated to show each attendee's  Status , if a value has been entered: November 18th, 2025 This release adds the  Average Response Time Report and contains some small bug fixes. Average Response Time Report The  Average Response Time Report is now available in Fire Station online. It has been updated to support NERIS calls. The report has also been updated to include details from the summarized calls. This appears after the first page of the report. Additional NERIS Unit Validation When entering NERIS units from Fire Station, the form has been updated to match validation rules that have been added in NERIS.  Bug Fixes Fixed personnel appearing that have been deleted or entered in error. November 11th, 2025 This release adds support for Non-Emergency Events in Fire Station online and includes updates to support changes made in NERIS. Non-Emergency Events Online Non-Emergency events may now be managed in Fire Station online. Any non-emergency events entered from the Windows application appear online, and any non-emergency events entered from Fire Station online appear in the Windows application. New permissions have been added in addition to the  Can Edit Non-Emergency Events to allow more control over creating and deleting non-emergency events: Can Submit Non-Emergency Events allows someone to create new non-emergency events from Fire Station online. Can Edit Non-Emergency Events allows someone to view and edit  all non-emergency events that have been entered. Please note: In the Windows application, granting this permission allows someone to edit and delete non-emergency events as well. In Fire Station online, granting this permission only allows someone to edit non-emergency events. Can Delete Non-Emergency Events allows someone to view and delete any non-emergency in Fire Station online. Any member of your department that previously had the Can Edit Non-Emergency Events permission has been  automatically granted the  Can Submit Non-Emergency Events and  Can Delete Non-Emergency Events permission, thus enabling all functionality of non-emergency events in Fire Station online. Printing a non-emergency event is also available online. The styling of this report has been updated to be similar in style to printed NERIS reports, but all the same information is there as in the Windows application. It looks like this online: Updated Validation for Structure Fire NERIS Calls In accordance with changes made to NERIS, when all aid on a call is  SUPPORT_AID and the direction is  GIVEN , if the call is a structure fire the alarm and suppression sections on the  Fire tab are  no longer required. Previously, as a workaround, selecting  Not Applicable in the  Presence field was required. Fire Station has been updated to no longer show the  Required label on sections that aren't required after the NERIS update. Fire Station will still show an error when validating a NERIS call for structure fires where there is no aid, or  not all the aid is support aid  given . EMS Option for Non-FD Aid A new option for  EMS has been added when specifying the type of Non-FD on the NERIS  Basic tab. This option should only be used if your department does  not provide patient care or transport and EMS aid was received. October 28th, 2025 This release adds new functionality to the Fire Station online NERIS Incident Reporting module. NERIS No Activity Reports You may now submit No Activity Reports to NERIS directly from Fire Station. Users with the  Manage NERIS No Activity Reports  permission, which is also new, can create and delete No Activity Reports. This permission has been enabled automatically for all people with the  Can Manage Settings  permission. Turning this permission on allows you to access the new NERIS No Activity Reports page in the Incident Reporting menu. Accessing this link will take you to the new No Activity Reports page. You will see a list of No Activity Reports that have been previously submitted. Clicking the Submit a No Activity Report button allows you to send new reports to NERIS. Clicking the Delete Report button allows you to delete the No Activity Report in both NERIS and Fire Station. Release Notes in Fire Station Similar to how the Windows application worked, there is now a What's New? page available in the main menu (right beneath the  Home page link). This page shows the latest release notes and will be constantly updated as Fire Station is updated. Improvements While Editing NERIS Units The  Type dropdown used to create/update NERIS units from Fire Station has been updated to include more details to help you select the correct option: When a value is selected, details about the selected type are shown: And, lastly, the  Type displayed on the station details has been updated to show the value matching the dropdown in the modal: Include in Payroll Configuration It is now possible to disable the  Include in Payroll field when adding personnel to a NERIS call. Previously this was enabled for all departments. A new option on the  Other tab of the  NERIS Settings page has been added to control this field: If you have never used the  Include in Payroll field, this option will be set to  No and you will no longer see the field. If you have used this field before, this option will be set to  Yes and you will continue to see the field. You may always come back to these settings to enable or disable the  Include in Payroll field as needed. If you set  Show Include in Payroll to  No , all personnel will be included in the payroll report  regardless of the previously selected value in Include in Payroll ; however, disabling the field does  not delete any previously entered values. If you re-enable the field, any previously selected options will be retained. Updated Tactic Timestamps Layout The layout of the  Tactic Timestamps section of NERIS calls has been updated to look like this: When printing a NERIS call with tactic timestamps, the timestamp layout has also been updated to match. Leading Zeros in Dispatch Center IDs A bug has been corrected that prevented entering leading zeroes in the  default   Dispatch Center ID that is configured under the  Other tab on the  NERIS Settings page. Errors Printing NERIS Incidents After Deleting Apparatus An error has been fixed where printing a NERIS call that included an apparatus that is now deleted failed. October 14th, 2025 This deployment introduces small changes and bug-fixes to the NERIS sign-in process. Default NERIS Environment - Fixed An issue was found during the initial NERIS setup process where the credentials entered were incorrect. It was found that the NERIS testing environment was being used instead of the live NERIS production environment. This release corrects the issue so that the correct NERIS environment is used. NERIS Sign In Screen Improvements The NERIS sign in screen that you see during the initial NERIS setup process has been updated to improve clarity and error handling. The old sign-in screen looked like this: The new sign-in screen looks like this: The purpose for this change was to make it more obvious that you are entering your NERIS username and password, not your FSSID credentials. There's also a link to the password reset page that NERIS has added, making it easier to recover your NERIS password from Fire Station. We've also corrected an issue where an unexpected error was displayed when the incorrect username or password was entered. Errors during the sign-in process now appear above the sign in button. October 13th, 2025 Improvements and new features for Fire Station's online NERIS Incident Reporting module are being deployed on Monday, October 13th, 2025. These changes are  available automatically, without installing any updates. Errors When Saving NERIS Calls - Fixed We have received various reports of errors happening when editing NERIS calls. The source of these errors have been tracked down to periodic and temporary network re-connections. We have corrected the issue and have deployed the changes required to fix these problems. If your department continues to see errors while editing NERIS calls, please continue to reach out to our support team for help. Improved Map Editing The map that you see while entering a NERIS call location has been updated to fix errors occurring when moving the pin from a previously selected location. We continue to support entering exact GPS coordinates, what3words addresses, and street addresses. You may also choose a call location by clicking a point on the map. This is the old map editor: This is the updated map editor: NERIS Submission to Fire Recovery USA With this release, we now have early support for submitting NERIS calls to Fire Recovery USA. This feature is enabled if your department has previously submitted NFIRS calls to Fire Recovery USA in the Windows application. The first time you submit a NERIS call to Fire Recovery USA you will be guided through the necessary setup process. If you encounter any issues during the submission process, or if you need help submitting NERIS calls to Fire Recovery USA, please reach out to our support team. Fire Station Desktop - Version 4.12.0.2 This release fixes the Expired Items Notification Service and the Apparatus Checks Notification Service that fail to start in versions 4.12.0.0 and 4.12.0.1. If you see the following error message when signing into Fire Station, and you have updated to Version 4.12, this release should fix this error: Fire Station Desktop - Version 4.12.0.1 This release fixes errors that you may have received when editing calls or viewing your frequent flier list when entering a new Quick Call. The error that was fixed is would show a message like this: Fire Station Desktop - Version 4.12.0.0 June 2025 - Version 4.12.0.2 of Fire Station Desktop has been released, fixing error messages that appear indicating that the notification services are not running when signing into Fire Station after updating to Version 4.12. May 2025 - We are happy to announce the following changes have been made to Fire Station Desktop and the  Fire Station+ online platform. All of these changes are available to your department if you have an active license and use Cloud Data Hosting. Fire Station+ Incident Reporting The Incident Reporting functionality for Fire Station+ enables your department to enter NFIRS incidents online using an improved call editor. This editor supports partials saves and calls entered online are pushed to the Fire Station Desktop call list once complete. This feature has been available in beta for a few months, but it is now  generally available. To access the online  Fire Station+ Incident Reporting, sign in to the Fire Station Hub using your FSSID at hub.firestationsoftware.com and select "Incident Reports" from the drop-down menu at the top. This feature has been enabled for all departments that have an active license that includes the incident reporting module and Cloud Data Hosting. For more information, see the Fire Station+ User Guide: Enter an Incident Report Database Connection Issues Fixed We have seen a number of issues caused by the database connection being reset while Fire Station Desktop is open. The latest version of Fire Station Desktop  introduces a series of bug-fixes to address this issue. If you are using Fire Station Desktop and the database connection is lost you will see a message indicating that the connection is being re-established. Also,  no data will be lost once the connection has been restored. If you are filling out a call and this happens, the call information you already entered will be preserved. Be sure to install Fire Station Desktop Version 4.12 to get this update. This version has been made available to all departments with an active license. Active911 for Quick Calls Our integration with the Active911 services allows you to import alert details when entering quick calls from Fire Station Desktop . This feature has been available in beta for a few months, but it is now generally available. If your department is using Active911 and you want to enable this feature, please reach out to our support team by sending an email to support@firestationsoftware.com or by giving us a call at (888) 809-2673 ext. 2 NERIS Support (Alpha) We are happy to announce that support for entering NERIS incidents from the Fire Station Online Platform is now available for early testing. There's a lot of exciting things coming to support everyone as we transition to NERIS based incident reporting. NERIS incidents will be entered from our new online application using the web browser on your computer, tablet or phone. With Cloud Data Hosting, this new platform works seamlessly with your existing department records and the  Fire Station Desktop application. Here's what it looks like so far: We've also been working to adapt the desktop layout to a phone in ways that are as familiar as possible. For example, here's the main menu on a phone-sized screen: And, as you view the pages the menu collapses like so: We've also included support for some different color schemes: Light   Dark   High Contrast   NERIS Incidents can be entered directly in Fire Station then validated and pushed  directly to NERIS. The integration works with both the NERIS Testing environment and the NERIS Production environment, though your department can only be connected to one NERIS department/environment at a time. You enter a NERIS incident by clicking "Enter New NERIS Call" under "Incident Reporting"... And you edit existing NERIS incidents, that have been entered from Fire Station, by clicking "Edit Entered Calls". Clicking through the tabs takes you to different modules and sections of the NERIS incident. We've also included support for editing map geometries (for the NERIS location and exposure modules) directly from Fire Station. NERIS units map to your Fire Station apparatus... And you can add personnel to NERIS incidents. The  entire NERIS incident can be edited from a phone as well. The layout adapts to the screen you are using. The tabs collapse and you can swipe left and right to get to the tab you need. The same reports you run from Fire Station Desktop can also be run from the online platform. When you run a report online it shows NERIS incidents  in addition to NFIRS Incidents and Quick Calls entered from the desktop app. NERIS is available online, but you can also fall back to using the desktop application to work with you NFIRS and Quick Calls. In this way you can try out NERIS online while still retaining access to NFIRS/Quick Calls in the desktop application. Generating reports as Excel spreadsheets has also been added. Oh, and one other thing: editing NERIS calls online saves as you fill out the report and multiple people may fill out a report at the same time. Changes are synchronized, in real time, across all the devices currently viewing a report. If someone is typing in a field you will see their name and a border around the field. That's it for now. We are still on the road to finishing our NERIS integration and we'd love to have your help. The NERIS functionality shown above is available for testing on a limited basis. If you would like to try out our NERIS functionality, please contact us by sending an email to us at support@firestationsoftware.com or by giving us a call at (888) 809-2673 ext. 2 Further Bug Fixes These are releases to Fire Station Desktop that have been made since the initial 4.12.0.0 release: Version 4.12.0.1 Version 4.12.0.2 2024 November 2024 Fire Station Desktop Rolled out to Active911 Beta customers on November 1st, 2024. General Added improved net code support for handling database connection errors. Active911 Beta Fixed a bug when no firefighters match the alert responses. Fixed a bug where the alert "details" were not appearing. Converted the alert times and response times to the timezone of the computer running Fire Station. September 2024 Fire Station Desktop Rolled out September 5th, 2024 Active911 Integration Beta Link devices to personnel and copy alert information to quick calls. Requires the Incident Reporting Module and CDH. If you are interested in participating in beta testing this feature, please reach out to sales@firestationsoftware.com Sign in to Auxiliary Databases Sign in to alternate databases to review data migrations during onboarding. Reauthorize Device Credentials Device registrations for Fire Station Desktop expire after a year. You can now reauthorize your devices after the registration expires by signing in again with your FSSID. Other Changes Enhanced the loading screen after signing in   Fire Station+ Rolled out September 5th, 2024 Incident Reports Beta Collect information on scene with a new Android application. Enter NFIRS reports quicker with the online report form. Requires the Incident Reporting Module and CDH. If you are interested in participating in beta testing this feature, please reach out to sales@firestationsoftware.com June 2024 (Summer 2024) Fire Station+ Rollout Date: June 28th, 2024 Apparatus Checks Bug Fixes Fixed the status of apparatus listed on the switch apparatus page when there is a check in progress  and  no checks have been submitted yet. Previously, under these conditions, the switch apparatus page listed the apparatus as "Never Checked". With this release, such an apparatus now says "Check in Progress". On the switch apparatus screen, after clicking the "Show Hidden Apparatus" to view archived apparatus, a new button has been added with the label "Hide Apparatus". Clicking this button hides the archived apparatus, thus bringing you back to the original list of apparatus. May 2024 (Spring 2024) Fire Station Desktop We are excited to announce the Spring 2024 release of Fire Station Desktop. This release streamlines how your department uses Fire Station Desktop. The following modules have been updated as part of this release: Personnel Module Enhanced Personnel List Sorting The personnel list now sorts using the number and name alphabetically. Previously, the personnel were sorted purely alphabetically. This did not take numbering into account.   Before   After Carrier Support for Cricket Wireless   Cricket Wireless has been added as a mobile carrier option when entering a mobile phone number.   When enabling notifications, the personnel's Cricket Wireless number can be selected to send notifications via SMS text messages.   For a full list of mobile carrier emails, see the Fire Station Desktop documentation on Notification Text Messages ( link ). Improved Personnel Certification Sorting The personnel certification list now includes the certification group and sorts by certification group. Incident Reporting Module 9-Digit Incident Number Support   Quick calls now support entering incident numbers up to 9-digits long. 9-digit support is also available when using automatic incident numbering.   You must enable this options from the Admin menu before it is available. See the Fire Station Desktop documentation for more information ( link ). Support for ZIP Codes with Leading Zeros Entering ZIP codes with leading zeros is now supported on quick calls and NFIRS calls. The leading zero is preserved when running the NFIRS 5.0 report.   Bug Fixes When using the address on the NFIRS-8 (Wildland Fire) module instead of the address on the NFIRS-1 (Basic) module, the NFIRS 5.0 report no longer includes a blank 1010 (Incident Address) transaction in the generated file. This prevents parsing errors when submitting your NFIRS 5.0 report. Factors Contributing to Ignition and Human Factors Contributing are now copied between the NFIRS-2 (Fire) and NFIRS-8 (Wildland Fire) modules. Fire Suppression Factors are also copied  if the other module does not already have Fire Supporession Factors selected . Previously, selecting Factors Contributing to Ignition and Human Factors Contributing on the NFIRS-8 (Wildland Fire) module would clear the factors selected on the NFIRS-2 (Fire) module. This has been fixed. Layout improvements were made to the NFIRS-9/10 (Apparatus/Personnel) module to show all form controls when editing a NFIRS call. PPE Module Support for Entering Generic PPE Inspections   You can now enter inspections for PPE items that do not use the built in types. When running the PPE report, if inspection data is included, generic inspections now appear. SCBA Module New Model Number Field The model number field has been added to SCBA records. New Re-Inspection Date Shortcuts   Shortcuts for selecting a date 10 years and 15 years from today has been added when entering SCBA inspections. These shortcuts are also available when adding multiple inspections at once. Training Module Total Number of Attendees Added to Training Report The training report now includes the total number of personnel that attended at least one training event in the selected reporting period. Application Settings Improvements to Notification Setup The notification configuration screen has been updated to use radio buttons, instead of a checkbox, when enabling apparatus check or expired item notifications. This removes the ambiguity of the older UI. Additional Changes If you sign in to multiple departments using Fire Station Desktop, the list of departments is now alphabetized. To avoid unnecessary errors, it is no longer possible to register your device for a department with an expired license. Fire Station+ We are excited to introduce the Spring 2024 release of Apparatus Checks for Fire Station+. This release includes a number of changes that make Apparatus Checks easier to use. Apparatus Checks Inventory Item Yes/No Option You may now enable "Yes" and "No" buttons instead of a checkbox when checking compartments.   When this option is enabled, "Yes" and "No" buttons are displayed for each inventory item in place of the checkbox. You may enter problems on items marked as "Yes" or on items marked as "No".   For more information, review the documentation ( link ). Disable All Items to be Checked You can now disable the requirement that all items must be checked to submit the apparatus check.    For more information, review the documentation ( link ). Improvements to Saving Apparatus Checks When running an apparatus check you now  must click the save button after making changes to the page you are on. This applies to the checklist and any compartment pages. The save button turns from green to blue when a pending change is ready to be saved.   If you have a pending change and try to open a different page, or close the browser window, a warning appears to verify that you want to leave the page without saving and discard the changes. Bug Fixes The date and time that an apparatus check was submitted is now displayed correctly when viewing the completed checks in Fire Station Desktop. Previously the time was changed to UTC time.
