Support & Training

Support information is available from a variety of resources covering a wide range of items for FIREHOUSE Software applications. FH Webcasts provide several pre-recorded instructional webcasts for some of the most frequent FH questions. Webex Sessions can be initiated by technical support staff for remote support assistance. Manuals and documentation are available to download. State information for NFIRS and EMS reporting is available from state specific web pages. General NEMSIS Reporting details and a link to the NEMSIS Technical Assistance Center are available for any general NEMSIS issues.

FIREHOUSE Software training will expand your knowledge and abilities with the software. Individual Online Training classes can be requested to expand on the general webcasts or cover areas unique to a user’s needs. Annually, the FIREHOUSE Software Education and Training Seminar (FHETS) is held at a regional location where hundreds of FH clients from all over the world come to attend classes and share experiences of their ways using FH products. When a customer is interested in a more personal touch, Onsite Training can be scheduled too. With any of our popular training choices, our clients are always amazed at the volume of new things they learn about FH products.

Training Opportunities

Training is available for all aspects of FH. If you need training, contact your regional sales representative for regional training availability.

Online Training

Online training allows you to follow along with a trainer via the Internet as the trainer conducts a training session. The session is interactive, including a real-time display of FH, to help drive home the details.

On Demand Training

Scheduling your customized class is easy. Send an email to training with a brief description of your training needs and we can schedule a class at a time that meets your needs.

Requirements

All you need to participate in online training is a workstation with an Internet connection and a telephone. FIREHOUSE Software does not need to be installed.

NFIRS 2012 Specification changes AVAILABLE NOW!

The NFIRS 2012 specification cycle changes are available now to install in two independent ways for your FIREHOUSE Software. Both options are available for departments with active FH technical support contracts.

Departments running FH version 7.5.30 up to version 7.11.15 have the option to install the NFIRS_Updates_2012.FHz file. This file loads the rules changes into the current FH system without performing a full FH update. Emails are being sent to each department's primary contact with instructions for downloading and applying the FHz file to your current system. If you have not received the email by the end of January, please email the FH technical support team at support@firehousesoftware.com to request the instructions be sent to you.

Departments running a version prior to 7.5.30 need to update to The FIREHOUSE Software version 7.12. This full product update has the specification changes included, along with other revisions and enhancements for FH. This maintenance release is available for download now. Take a moment to review the FH 7.12 Release Notes for all the details. Previous version release notes are available in the FH Product Release Notes section below.
