The only platform built to run a fire recruit academy.

Spend your academy teaching recruits — not chasing emails, Word docs, and Excel sheets.

Instructors sign themselves up. Evaluations get done on the drill ground. Every recruit graduates with a complete file. Instructor hours tallied in one click for payroll.

Instructors sign themselves up.

Post your courses once. Instructors see what’s open, claim what they can teach, and you award the slots — everyone awarded is notified automatically and sees it on their own calendar. The schedule fills itself instead of filling your inbox.

What took hundreds of emails takes one post.

Evaluations get done on the drill ground.

Structured ratings and sign-offs captured right where the recruit performs, on a phone or tablet — with voice-to-text so you’re not thumbing notes into a phone keyboard. No more evaluating six recruits by hand and retyping it all into six separate Word docs that night.

Every entry is signed, timestamped, and change-logged — the record shows exactly who evaluated what, and when.

Every recruit graduates with a complete file.

Every skill sign-off and evaluation exported and handed to their home department the day they finish. No stack of Word docs. No folder that gets thrown in a filing cabinet.

Instructor hours in one click.

Pull the hours report at the end of the academy instead of rebuilding it by hand. Hours by instructor, exported to PDF, Excel, or CSV.

The same platform your departments already run — now built out for the academy.

Rescue Hub was built by firefighters, for firefighters. Departments across the US and Canada already run their training, task books, and certifications on it. We’ve taken that same system and extended it to the one place the fire service never got purpose-built software for — the recruit academy.

Trusted by departments large and small

Run your fall recruit class on Rescue Hub — free, through graduation.

We’ll help you build out your courses and get fully set up. One system instead of an inbox, a spreadsheet, and a folder of Word docs — and hundreds of hours off your academy.

What’s the catch?

There isn’t one — this is an invitation. We’ve built something we believe works for academies, and we’re looking for a few partners to run a live cohort on it and tell us exactly what works, what doesn’t, and where it needs to bend to fit how you run things. Shape it with us, and it gets built the way you’d actually use it.

We’re taking eight academies this fall.

Apply for the fall cohort.

Tell us about your academy and we’ll be in touch to get you set up.
