The rising number of fire incidents is expected to drive the growth of the fire department software market in the coming years. Fire incidents refer to events involving fire that often result in property damage, injuries, or loss of life. Such incidents may occur due to insufficient fire prevention measures and the increased presence of flammable materials. Fire department software improves response effectiveness and operational efficiency during fire emergencies, contributing to better safety outcomes for firefighters. For example, in October 2025, according to GOV.UK, a UK government department, fire and rescue services in England responded to 165,697 fires in the year ending June 2025, representing a 28% increase compared with 129,638 fires recorded in the previous year. Therefore, the growing frequency of fire incidents is supporting the expansion of the fire department software market.

Major companies operating in the fire department software market are concentrating on developing advanced IoT (Internet of Things)-based solutions, such as shift scheduling software, to improve operational efficiency and personnel management. Shift scheduling software enables fire departments to automate workforce scheduling, ensuring adequate staffing levels while reducing administrative burden. For instance, in April 2024, Vector Solutions, a US-based provider of online training and learning tools focused on workplace safety and compliance, introduced new fire department shift scheduling innovations. Vector Scheduling provides fire departments with advanced capabilities to monitor coverage, manage overtime, and automatically assign shifts based on personnel qualifications and organizational policies. The system also allows staff to select preferred work locations, helping reduce grievances and improve logistical coordination. Additionally, the platform uses hire dates as a tiebreaker to ensure fair shift distribution, simplifying the scheduling process for administrators.
