How Company Started
Fire departments stand as bastions of unwavering vigilance, operational around the clock, every day of the year. Most firefighters endure arduous 24-hour shifts, rendering them susceptible to exhaustion, compromised judgment, and mental fatigue. Tragedy has an insidious tendency to strike when least expected, when the mind is already yearning to return to the comfort of home. Yet, the disconcerting truth was that there existed no contemporary technology designed to shield firefighters from peril in the line of duty. Why did the firefighting fraternity continue to rely on antiquated technology dating back to the 1970s to locate downed comrades? The resounding answer was a dearth of innovation—a status quo begging to be challenged. At Fyre Stat, our unwavering mission is to ensure the safe return of every firefighter at the end of their arduous shift. We are steadfast in our commitment to instill confidence in firefighters, enabling them to pursue their noble calling with unwavering dedication. Simultaneously, we empower fire chiefs with the tools they need to make bold, life-saving decisions, confidently guiding their brave men and women away from harm’s treacherous path.
