The site records audio of dispatches for a bunch of departments throughout Westchester and can text or email you the recording as soon as it comes in. You can subscribe to any department, and don’t need to be associated with any particular agency. 
 
They offer a free trial and the rates are reasonable. I’ve been using it for a while and it’s been working great.

I'm Phil... creator of Fire GRS.
I first want to thank everyone for the support I have gotten for developing this product. You have most likely read the article already, but let me summarize. I developed this product because I have a passion for both the fire service and technology. I wanted a way to bridge the two together in a unique way. I very much feel like this should be a community product and I'm doing as much as I can to keep it going in that direction.
KS1980, Somebuffy Guy.... Thanks for pointing that out. I am not claiming to be the first guy to develop an app that uses push notifications. I do believe that this is the first (or one of the first) that is using GPS in the way that Fire GRS does for the fire service.... Not just mapping calls, but mapping responders as well. This post isn't meant to bash any other programs or services out there. Departments have the freedom to choose what service they go to, what features they want, and how much they want to pay.
As RWC130 said, the more tools out there the better. Some other services cost almost $1,000 / year, that being said, they also come with tons of features. Admittedly Fire GRS doesn't have as many features. If departments want them, I have no problem adding them, but for now, because the product is still in it's early stages, it seems like bloat and a distraction from the main purpose of the app. That being said the price tag of $0 / month makes up for the fact that this isn't feature rich, but the app does do the job that it claims. There are costs associated with this product, server costs, etc. Because of my background I'm able to keep these so low and as a result give this product away for free. I played with various pricing models ranging from $10-$25 / month with no contract, but for now I'm happy to make it free.
Back to the community part... I have a department using this in MO. They get about 50 calls a year. They don't have a dispatch center that can send out text messages, or e-mails and were looking for a way to know who was responding to calls. They also don't have the budget for other systems. The Chief mentioned it would be great if there was a way that they could have calls get sent out as text messages to the members with out iPhones. They wanted this feature which I didn't have yet, so I added it for them. I want this product to be something that everyone in the community can contribute to and share ideas. The product is so new that we can quickly add features, and make enhancements.

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me out. I'm looking for some good high quality pump panel pictures of newer apparatus that has the up and down levers to control the valves, as opposed to the kind where you pull the valve straight out, or the electric valves with the button or the wheel. Ideally I would like full res images, (with no shadows or glare). I know a lot of you take great pictures and if someone would let me use their picture of that kind of pump panel that would be great.
(feel free to PM me if you want more info before you give me your picture)
Thanks!

Great thanks! I knew I'd get what I needed here.

I'd like to thank Loopy31 for posting an accurate account of what happened on Saturday. Sometimes people are so desperate for information that they take the first thing they see and run with it. Incredible how a person listening to transmissions on a scanner is cited before members who were at the scene. Not saying that people listening and posting were being malicious, just saying its easy to miss something or misinterpret transmissions.
