What's on the run card

Everything the app does, in the order a call unfolds — from the first tone-out to the units going back in service.

1

The call drops

The incident lands in your live feed the moment it's dispatched — address, box, and every unit assigned.

2

Hear the radio

Tap in for the actual dispatch audio, or read the searchable transcript when you can't listen.

3

See it on the map

Every call is pinned and sorted by distance from you — across Baltimore City and Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Howard, Harford, and Cecil counties.

4

Back in service

Follow the incident until units clear. Filter by county, search old calls, and set your home area in Settings.

The sticker shop

Maryland's smallest fire company

Blaze the Raven, Irons the Oriole, and Probie the Rookie Rat — drawn by The Curious Creative. $2.99 each, weatherproof vinyl, and every one pays the hosting bill that keeps the app free.

"I kept hearing sirens and wondering what was going on. So I built the app that answers that — no team, no investors, just a scanner feed and a hosting bill."
