Title: Duty crew rostering
Post by: DaveO on May 02, 2012, 05:57:07 PM

Hi All

For those brigades/units that use a duty crew or roster system, how do you manage it? I have used Google calendar in the past but am curious to see how others run their system.

Cheers

Dave

Majority i have seen are spreadsheet based, but some are now available on the internet websites (behind member logins).
It allows for members to arrange rostering swaps.

There is a thread here that mt barker use, online with a smart phone app, seems a good crew management tool, very widely used in America.

Are you referring to the Firefighter Response System or a different one?  I am keen to hear on any smartphone apps where members could log in, available, or on route to station etc via the app.
