Stations represent the physical locations where your crews work -- fire stations, EMS posts, headquarters, or substations. Setting up stations lets you assign shifts and resources to specific locations.
Getting there
Open Settings from your profile menu and expand Stations/Posts.
Adding a station
- Click Add Location.
- Enter a Location Name (for example, "Station 4" or "Downtown Post").
- Pick the Division the station belongs to.
- Optionally enter a Phone Number.
- Enter the Full Address. The Google autocomplete will suggest matches -- pick one to fill the address accurately.
- Submit.
How stations are used
Shift templates and resources reference a station. The station name appears on shifts so each person knows where to report.
Example
Your EMS company has four posts spread across the city. You create four stations, each in the right division and with the correct address. When you build the schedule, you assign two EMTs to each post so every location is covered.
