I just wanted to say thanks for the great service. It is the perfect supplement to our communication system and we have already used it three times in the past four months when our primary systems went down during bad weather. There is no telling how many lives this system saves on those occasions.

Founded
Departments
The idea of FireTEXT came to us back in 2006, when the price of a pager ranged from five to six hundred dollars per device. Carrying around these pagers were an added expense that not all departments could afford. To solve this problem, we developed an audio-based software to notify users cell-phones of emergencies being dispatched in the area.
A few years after our initial launch, we asked our partnering communities how FireTEXT could better serve them. The answer was simple: a redirect. Our customers didn’t need a paging system anymore, instead, they needed a reliable backup communications service in case of emergencies. Since this change of course, FireTEXT has supported hundreds of departments by installing a fast and dependable communications service.
The release of the FireTEXT mobile app was a huge improvement to the back-up communications service. Now, users can receive Live-Chat push notifications, GPS tracking, and much more from their own mobile device.ers cell-phones of emergencies being dispatched in the area.
Our mission at FireTEXT has always been to serve and protect our communities all across the nation. We believe all departments, hospitals, schools, etc. should have access to back-up communication services. This is why as of Jan. 2020, FireTEXT has been registered as a non-profit organization.

FireTEXT is an emergency dispatching program that notifies first responders of the location and nature of call via text message.

No, FireTEXT is designed for emergency services only. We do however have non-emergency customers such as churches and sport teams using our service. But, generally speaking, the public does not have access to receive messages from 911.
