Rover is a cloud-based notification and response platform that takes incident management to a new level. Its CAD-to-mobile technology instantly relays calls to your responders and lets them indicate their availability with a single touch. With GPS-geolocation and Realtime Mapping App integration, the Rover app provides instant accountability of all responders from start to finish and gives them turn-by-turn directions to their assignment.

Rover For the Fire Service
Track Your Resources
Rover was designed by firefighters to track who’s responding to a call and when they will arrive. It uses GPS-geolocation to show your responders on a map in real-time and count down to their calculated arrival time–whether they’re coming from home, work, or anywhere else
Rover goes beyond calling members to your station. It maps activated apparatus and each crew’s ETA to the scene, staging area, or command post for better resource management.
Plan Your Response
See at a glance where your activated members are, so you can better plan your response. See who’s arriving at your staging area and who’s close, so you know whether to wait and how to best staff your equipment. Know sooner rather than later whether to call for mutual aid.
Decrease Response Times
With one touch, members can indicate if they are coming or unavailable and get on the road quicker. En route to the incident, turn-by-turn navigation shaves travel time and keep drivers focused on the road—not straining to hear the address or to type it into a separate navigation system.
Communicate
Send critical details such as pre-plans and hazards to provide your crew with total situational awareness. Documents can be uploaded or imported in advance to any address, such as building maps and chemicals on site. Or, add new details right on the scene. Follow up with real-time updates. When responders are more aware, the operation gets a whole lot safer.
Redundant Alerting Capabilities
When 9-1-1 systems go down, responders lose essential data about the incident such as location call history, special hazards, and GPS positions of fire, EMS, and police units. Losing this information can delay responses, reduce personnel safety, and affect outcomes.
As long as there’s internet connectivity through WiFi or cellular service, you can still dispatch resources from your entire department in the event of a dispatch system failure. SMS text messages provide redundant back-up messaging capability.

Clients & Testimonials
MARK WORSMAN, Fire Chief
New Hartford Fire, NY
Without Rover, myself and the officers would not be able to get a quick picture of who is responding to the emergency. Sometimes we have to make a quick decision—if we see there is limited manpower responding, we can get mutual aid dispatched more quickly.
JEFF THOMAS, President
Absecon City Fire Company #1, NJ
The overall impact of Rover is having better information at your fingertips without having to ask. The graphic position of hydrants on a map by the alarm location has been a huge help to responding engines. The days of having to memorize that information or laying in from a bad location are gone.
SCOTT SCHMALING
Stepney Volunteer Fire Co No. 1, CT
I depend on Rover to let me know who is coming to the station so I know my staffing before leaving the station—there is nothing worse than leaving the station by yourself or with a minimum crew, wishing you had a better crew on board and then finding out when you get back to the station that others arrived after you departed to the scene. Rover provides me with a digital view of the dispatch and who is responding from my department as well as from mutual aid departments.
