NFC-powered pre-incident planning that puts critical building information in firefighters' hands the moment they arrive on scene. One tap. Full intelligence.
Building Intelligence. One Tap.
► Watch the FDBeacon overview · 2 min
From installation to scene arrival, FDBeacon streamlines pre-incident planning with technology that works when you need it most.
Weather-resistant NFC tags are installed at building entry points. Each tag contains a unique identifier linked to that building's profile.
Fire prevention personnel enter building data through our intuitive web portal—floor plans, hazards, contacts, fire protection systems, and more.
Responding crews tap their phone to the NFC tag. Instantly, critical building intelligence appears—no app download required.
A static building record only helps until something changes. These tools keep you current, and help you know where to focus, before you're standing in front of it.
Sprinkler and alarm contractors report impairments directly into FDBeacon. An admin reviews and confirms before anything reaches your crews, full audit trail included, aligned with NFPA 25 Chapter 15's Impairment Program.
The moment a fire protection system goes out of service, or back in service, your entire department knows instantly. Push notifications work both directions, per NFPA 25 §15.5, plus department-wide announcements for anything else crews need to hear right away.
Every building is automatically scored across eight factors, construction, occupant load, protection systems, hazards, and more, so you know which buildings deserve extra pre-planning attention. Based on the OVAP methodology detailed in Vision 20/20's Community Risk Assessment Guide, not a guess.
Every feature designed with input from fire service professionals to deliver real value on the fireground.
NFC tap loads building data in under 2 seconds. Works on any modern smartphone. No login required, yet building data is totally secure for your organization.
Each tag is registered to your department. Unregistered tags won't work. Building data is only accessible through valid tags.
Designed for gloved hands and bright sunlight. Large touch targets, high contrast display, tap-to-call contacts.
Fire protection systems, hazmat storage, utility shutoffs, emergency contacts, floor plans, photos, and special hazards.
Track which buildings are scanned, when, and how often. Identify gaps in coverage and verify inspection compliance.
Building information changes? Update it once in the portal—every future scan shows the current data. No tag replacement needed.
Industrial-grade NFC tags rated for outdoor use. Waterproof, UV-resistant, and designed to last 10+ years.
Phone and email support from people who understand the fire service. Training resources and implementation guidance included.
Get started in minutes, not months. Intuitive web portal, no complex training required. If your crew can tap a phone, they can use FDBeacon.
Priced by the number of buildings you pre-plan — not by features or user seats. All plans include full portal access, analytics, coverage mapping, and support.
