Designed for the Complexity of Fire-Based EMS

One department. Multiple missions. Unified excellence.

Today's fire departments deliver far more than fire suppression—with 70-80% of calls being medical. Yet EMS documentation remains complex and time-consuming, making it difficult to capture reimbursements that offset taxpayer costs while maintaining operational readiness.

CareSwift understands the unique challenges of fire-based EMS. Our platform streamlines medical documentation, ensuring NEMSIS compliance while maximizing EMS revenue recovery. Simple, efficient, and built for firefighter-paramedics—letting your crews focus on serving the community, not wrestling with paperwork.
