Why Fireworks

Healthy Crews, Ready for the Next Call.

The people who answer the call come first. That's why we built Fireworks. Health & Exposure keeps your crew healthy before the call, records what they faced on it, and uses that data after the call to get them ready again.

Before the callReady and HealthyLeaders see exposure and wellness history across the roster and check in early.

On the callCaptured OnceCrews record hazards and exposures in the incident report they already complete.

After the callHealthy AgainExposure and wellness data flows into Staff Advisor, so leaders can check in with their crews and help them recover before the next call.

Take care of your crew. They'll take care of the call.

How it works

Captured Where Crews Already Work

Included

Hazard Tracking in Incidents

Part of the incident report and included with Incidents. Crews capture hazards and exposures once, on the call.

AI Works | Admin Planning Tools

Health & Exposure in Staff Advisor

An admin tool for reviewing exposure history across your people, so leaders can see trends and act on them.

Features

Exposure Records That Work for Your Department

Document Exposures

Record firefighter exposure to hazardous materials as part of the incident.

Track Health Data

Keep exposure and health records together instead of in folders and spreadsheets.

Support Early Detection

Review trends that help leaders spot risks sooner.

Captured Once, Used Twice

Exposures captured in Incidents flow into Staff Advisor. Nothing gets entered twice.

Why it matters

Every Exposure Adds Up

Smoke, soot and hazardous materials don't stay on the fireground, and neither do the hardest calls. Over a career, physical and mental exposures add up, and the record of them matters long after the call is closed.

Group 1

In 2022, the World Health Organization's cancer agency classified occupational exposure as a firefighter as carcinogenic to humans, its highest classification.

IARC, 2022

14%

A study of nearly 30,000 career firefighters found 9% more cancer diagnoses and 14% more cancer deaths than the general U.S. population.

NIOSH

~80%

In 2025, nearly 80% of IAFF member line-of-duty deaths were due to occupational cancer.

IAFF

30%

An estimated 30% of first responders develop behavioral health conditions, including depression and PTSD, compared with 20% of the general population.

SAMHSA, 2018

The Hard Calls Count Too

Exposure isn't only physical. The Wellness view in Staff Advisor helps leaders see who has been on the toughest calls, like cardiac arrests, pediatric calls and fatalities, so they can check in sooner.

The Schedule Feels It Too

When a firefighter is out sick or injured, the shift still has to be covered. That means overtime, callbacks and a thinner crew on the next call. Seeing exposure trends early helps leaders act before a risk turns into missed days.

The Record Protects Your People

Many states have presumptive laws that link firefighting with certain cancers and illnesses. Exposure records provide needed evidence to support those claims, so a complete history in one system matters years after the call.

FAQs

Firefighter Exposure Tracking FAQs

What is firefighter exposure tracking?

Exposure tracking is the record of what your firefighters were exposed to on a call, such as smoke, hazardous materials or heat. In Fireworks, crews document it in the incident report, and admins review the history across personnel in Staff Advisor.

Why should fire departments track exposures?

Firefighting is classified as carcinogenic to humans, and exposures add up over a career. A complete exposure history helps leaders spot risks sooner, and exposure records provide needed evidence to support presumptive cancer claims.

Is exposure tracking included with Fireworks Incidents?

Yes. Hazard tracking is part of the incident report and included with Incidents. Health & Exposure in Staff Advisor, the admin view of exposure history across your people, is a paid add-on. Schedule a call and we'll walk through pricing for your department.

Does Health & Exposure cover mental health?

Yes. Alongside physical exposures, the Wellness view in Staff Advisor helps leaders see which members have been on the toughest calls, such as cardiac arrests, pediatric calls and fatalities, so they can check in sooner.

Do crews have to enter exposures in a separate system?

No. Exposures captured in Incidents flow into Staff Advisor, so nothing gets entered twice.

Who can see exposure history?

Health & Exposure in Staff Advisor is an admin tool, built for department leaders who review exposure history across personnel.
