PulseRosterFiveM fire and EMS roster management
Run your FiveM fire department and EMS agency like the real thing. Several stations, rank structures, paramedic and firefighter certifications, activity-hour tracking, LOA for rotating shifts and Discord roles, all handled by PulseRoster.
Free plan available. Most fire and EMS setups take under 30 minutes, a little longer than police because you are setting up two departments, each with its own ranks and certifications.
Real-world rank structures
PulseRoster does not lock you into a preset rank tree. Set up your fire and EMS ranks exactly the way your department runs, and keep command staff apart from line personnel so permissions match the chain of command.
Fire department, typical structure
EMS, typical structure
Stations and specialty units
Every serious fire department has several stations, each with its own apparatus and crew. EMS has field supervisors and specialty units. PulseRoster handles this with subdivisions: a member holds their rank at the department level and belongs to one or more subdivisions.
Fire subdivisions
- Station 1, Station 2, Station 3
- Hazmat Team
- Technical Rescue
- Wildland Fire
- Fire Marshal's Office
- Training Division
- Arson Investigation
EMS subdivisions
- Ambulance Crews / Medic Units
- Tactical EMS (TEMS)
- Air Medical / Life Flight
- Critical Care Transport
- Community Paramedic
- EMS Field Training
Cross-trained firefighter-paramedics can belong to a fire department and an EMS department at the same time. Their promotions and activity tracking stay with the right agency.
Certifications that match reality
Fire and EMS have more certifications than any other department. Track every one, set expiry dates where it matters, and show them on your public roster so prospective members see a professional structure.
Fire certifications
- Firefighter I / Firefighter II
- Driver / Engineer
- Fire Officer I / II / III
- Hazmat Operations / Technician
- Technical Rescue
- Fire Instructor
- Fire Investigator
EMS certifications
- EMT-Basic / EMT-Advanced
- Paramedic
- Critical Care Paramedic
- Field Training Officer (FTO)
- Tactical Medic
- CPR / ACLS / PALS Instructor
- Community Paramedic
Response-hour tracking without the spreadsheets
Fire and EMS departments live or die by member activity. Inactive members mean slow responses, missing apparatus coverage and short-staffed stations. PulseRoster's activity tracking lets you set hour requirements per rank, so command staff see at a glance who is meeting minimums and who is at risk of going inactive.
- Set minimums per rank: for example Firefighters need 10 hours a month, Captains 20, Chiefs tracked but exempt.
- Members log time on the website or with Discord bot commands. No spreadsheet cells to maintain.
- Activity requirements work with Discord roles, so members who fall below minimums can be flagged or moved automatically.
- LOA covers planned absences. When a firefighter is on vacation or medical leave, their activity minimum pauses automatically.
LOA that respects shift rotations
Fire and EMS work rotating shifts, long off-rotations and seasonal availability (wildland season, for example). PulseRoster's LOA handles the request, the approval, and starts and ends each leave on its dates, so your roster always shows who is actually available right now.
Command staff see pending requests in one queue. Approvals reach Discord automatically. No more chasing screenshots in DMs.
Common questions
Anything not covered here, ask us in Discord. The people who make PulseRoster read it.
Ask on DiscordCan PulseRoster manage both a fire department and EMS separately?
Yes. Create Fire and EMS as separate departments in your community, each with its own rank structure. Members can belong to both if your server cross-trains firefighter-paramedics.
How do you handle several stations?
Stations are subdivisions inside a fire department. Station 1, Station 2, Station 3, each with its own captain and crew. Members hold their rank at the department level and are assigned to one or more stations.
Can I track paramedic and firefighter certifications?
Yes. Create any certifications your department uses, EMT-B, Paramedic, Firefighter I/II, Hazmat, Driver/Engineer and more, with optional expiry dates. Show them on your public roster.
Does PulseRoster schedule rotating shifts for fire and EMS?
PulseRoster tracks activity hours and enforces requirements per rank. It does not schedule shifts themselves, which is usually done with Discord scheduling tools, but it tracks whether members meet their response-hour requirements whichever shift they ran.
