Built by firefighters, for firefighters.
ARK Fire RMS started with a simple frustration: why does fire department software have to be so expensive and complicated?
As a volunteer firefighter in Nebraska, I watched departments struggle with two bad options. They could pay thousands of dollars a year for enterprise software designed for big-city career departments — packed with features they'd never use. Or they could stick with paper records and spreadsheets, making compliance a nightmare and losing the data they needed.
Neither option made sense for volunteer departments running on tight budgets with members who have day jobs and families.
So I built something better. ARK Fire RMS is designed specifically for Nebraska volunteer and small career departments. It has the features you actually need — incident reporting, training tracking, Nebraska tax points, personnel records — without the enterprise bloat or enterprise price tag.
Most importantly, it's built by someone who understands the fire service. Someone who knows what it's like to come back from a 2 AM call and still have to log the run. Someone who's tracked tax points on a spreadsheet and knows how frustrating it is. Someone who believes Nebraska fire departments deserve better.
Volunteer departments shouldn't have to choose between good software and staying within budget. We keep prices low because we believe every department deserves modern tools.
Your volunteers have jobs, families, and lives. They don't have time for complicated software. We focus on making things simple and fast, so you can get back to what matters.
We're not trying to be everything to everyone. We're focused on serving Nebraska fire departments, which means features like LB886 tax points are built in from day one.
You've probably noticed what happens when private equity buys fire service software companies. Prices go up. Support goes down. Long-time customers get squeezed.
ARK Fire RMS is independently owned and operated. We're not backed by investors looking for a quick return. We're not going to get acquired and jack up your rates.
When you sign up with ARK, you know what you're getting — stable pricing from someone who cares about the fire service, not quarterly earnings reports.
