Integration Guide

Firehouse Software by ESO

Put reports out of Firehouse Software on the screens in your stations — events, hydrants, turnout times, roster and call totals, in one place instead of five reports.

What we can put on your dashboard

Department events

  • Event name
  • Date and time
  • Description

Hydrants out of service

  • Hydrant name / ID
  • Location

Turnout time dials

Turnout times as a dial rather than a number, so a crew reads the trend at a glance.

  • Organize by unit, station, battalion or department
  • Look back over whatever period you want

Requests for maintenance

  • Unit ID or name of the piece of equipment
  • Requestor

Daily roster

  • Name
  • Station location
  • Unit assigned
  • Rank / position

Call totals

  • Month or year to date
  • Total runs across all units
  • Total runs per unit

What we need from you

This one depends on whether you run Firehouse on your own servers or on Firehouse Cloud. The two paths are different, so pick yours.

On-premise customers

Four things

  • Build the query or report you want, and be able to export it as CSV
  • Move the file from where it downloads to an SFTP location we provide. This can be manual, or automated with any number of tools
  • The transfer must overwrite the existing file, so there is only ever one file per module in the folder — otherwise we end up reading a stale copy
  • Tell us which columns of the report you want on your dashboards

Firehouse Cloud customers

Three things

  • Contact Firehouse Cloud customer support — they set up the SFTP transfer, not you
  • Give them the exact query or report you want sent
  • Tell us which columns of the report you want on your dashboards

Open a ticket at our support center to get the SFTP details. Our SFTP your data article covers what we do with a raw export once it lands.

About vendor charges: data or API access could carry an additional charge, determined by ESO and not by First Arriving.
