Operational awareness for restoration contractors
Fire dispatch alerts, sent in minutes — not hours.
FireSignal sends a text the moment a structure fire is dispatched in your Travis County service territory. By the time you tap the link, your phone shows the address, the unit roster, a parcel map, and the TCAD property profile — everything you need to decide whether the drive is worth it.
No credit card. Licensed Texas restoration contractors only.

The Briefing — what a contractor sees after tapping the SMS link. Sample data shown.
What gets sent
One text. Single segment. Everything decisive on the lock screen.
No app to install. No login to remember. The alert is plain SMS — works on every carrier, every phone, every glove. The link opens the Briefing with all the context already loaded.

Coverage
The whole County, on one feed.
CTECC consolidates dispatch for Austin Fire Department and all 14 Travis County ESDs. We ingest the City of Austin's public CAD feed every five minutes, so one subscription covers every jurisdiction your trucks can reach inside the county.
Jurisdictions covered
Austin · Pflugerville · Lakeway · Bee Cave · Manor · West Lake Hills · Rollingwood · Sunset Valley · Lago Vista · Volente · Jonestown · and other Travis County ESDs available via the City of Austin CTECC dispatch feed.
Williamson and Hays counties on the v1.1 roadmap, pending B2B dispatch agreements with each county PSAP.
Built to be trusted at 3 AM
The boring foundations that keep alerts honest.
Synthetic monitoring
Every 15 minutes a test incident runs the full ingest → match → SMS pipeline. If the round-trip exceeds 90 seconds, the founder gets paged before any customer does.
Defense-in-depth isolation
Four independent guards keep test traffic out of real customer territories: origin flag, geofenced bbox, phone allowlist, and a routing assertion that quarantines any cross-leak.
No homeowner data, ever
The properties table cannot hold owner names, mailing addresses, or phone numbers. The CI test pipeline blocks the build if anyone tries to add one.
TCPA consent on the record
Every send is preceded by an append-only opt-in log entry with the exact consent text version, IP, and user agent. Reply STOP, ever, and it's honored across the carrier network instantly.
Public status page
Uptime, latency, and ingest health published in real time. Incidents posted within 30 minutes of detection with the running root-cause.
A human answers
One support line. Owner-operator. The same person who built the dispatcher answers the phone at 7 AM on a Sunday.
Pricing
One tier. Flat fee. No surprise overages.
A single subscription covers the whole county and your whole crew. Add-on seats and webhook access are priced flat too. If FireSignal isn't earning its keep in your first month, cancel — we don't make you call to do it.

What FireSignal does not do
The lines we don't cross — and why.
Operational awareness is the product. Homeowner outreach is not. We've designed FireSignal so customers physically can't use it to chase fire victims, and our Acceptable Use Policy prohibits attempting to do so off-platform.
- We do not collect, display, or sell homeowner contact information.
- We do not auto-send messages to property owners.
- We do not provide skip-tracing or people-search lookups.
- We do not enable contacting fire victims directly.
Customer use is bound by our Acceptable Use Policy, which prohibits the above conduct off-platform.
