Firefighter Shift Calendar 2026: Month View + iCal (.ics) Export
Updated for 2026 rotations (24/48, 48/96, Kelly) + custom patterns. Use this as a planning tool and always confirm against your department’s official schedule.
Why a month-view shift calendar matters
Most firefighter schedule calculators output a list of ON/OFF days. That’s fine for quick checks, but it’s not ideal for real-life planning (family commitments, training, travel, overtime blocks). A month-view calendar makes patterns and duty blocks obvious—especially for 48/96 or Kelly variations.
Our goal is simple: generate a clean calendar grid and give you an iCal (.ics) file so you can import your schedule into Google Calendar or Apple Calendar in minutes.
Common firefighter rotations (quick reference)
Patterns below assume you start from your next ON duty day.
- 24/48: one 24-hour shift then 48 hours off. Pattern example:
1,2 - 48/96: two 24-hour shifts back-to-back, then 96 hours off. Pattern example:
2,4 - Kelly-style: varies widely by department; a common cycle looks like:
1,2,1,2,1,4
