Free Firefighter Tools — Built for the Fire Service

Every tool is designed around real fire service workflows. The friction loss calculator uses FL = C × Q² × L. The SCBA tool calculates usable duration by cylinder size, pressure, reserve, and RMV. The salary tool compares BLS May 2025 median wages for 50 states and DC with MERIC Q2 2026 living-cost indices and your own job offers. Unpublished wage estimates remain unavailable; wage percentiles are not recruit or senior pay steps. The Home Fire Safety Score is a 13-question educational checklist informed by USFA guidance, with critical-gap warnings and an action plan. Its editorial score is not a code-compliance finding or validated risk prediction. The Wildfire Risk Assessment is a 15-question preparedness checklist informed by CAL FIRE guidance. Its editorial weights summarize reported exposure and preparation; they do not predict fire probability or certify a property. The burn tool uses age-adjusted Lund-Browder region estimates, a separate Rule of Nines reference and a classical 4 mL Parkland training calculation. Current adult burn-resuscitation guidance and burn-center referral criteria are explained separately; the output is not a patient-specific fluid order. The occupancy load calculator compares NFPA 101 and IBC side by side with AHJ-ready letter export. The ICS Forms Generator fills 10 FEMA-based forms with shared incident details, editable drafts and a PDF package. The Mechanical Advantage Calculator covers Z-Rig, Piggyback Z, C-Rig, and Drop C with haul force and rope estimates.

All tools are free, no login, mobile-ready. For incidents, always follow your department SOP/SOG and consult the current ERG. · Editorial policy · Our authors

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. All 30 listed calculators, references and generators are free to use without an account. Map locators are also linked on this page.

Browse nine topic hubs: Engine Ops, Operational, Training, Career, Home Safety, Safety & Comms, EMS / Medical, Hazmat, and Code Compliance. The same nine categories are used in the directory filters. Some tools belong to more than one topic hub. Map locators are listed separately above the directory.

The training approximation is FL = C × Q² × L, where Q is flow in hundreds of GPM and L is hose length in hundreds of feet. Verify the hose coefficient and actual equipment. Pump discharge pressure also accounts for nozzle pressure, appliance losses and elevation.

Compare the published BLS May 2025 state medians in Salary by State, then consider MERIC Q2 2026 living costs and your actual job offers. The tool covers 50 states and DC; missing official wage estimates remain unavailable. Percentiles are not guaranteed entry or senior pay scales, and the tool does not calculate take-home taxes.

A free 13-question educational checklist informed by USFA guidance. It summarizes alarms, escape planning and household hazards with an editorial score, critical-gap warnings and a printable action plan. It is not a validated risk model, inspection or NFPA compliance certificate.

The tools run in a mobile browser without an app install. Use calculations for training and planning under department procedures; they do not monitor incident conditions or replace approved equipment and protocols.

A communications drill tool that organizes Location, Unit, Name, Air/Assignment and Resources. Department terminology varies. Copy, share a drill link or use the training display; the tool does not transmit a radio MAYDAY.

No. It is a pre-design and education tool comparing NFPA 101 and IBC assumptions. Final occupant load, adopted code edition and approval are determined by the authority having jurisdiction.

All tools are for training and informational purposes only and do not replace official department policies, SOPs, or medical protocols.
