What is Active 911?

Active 911 is a digital dispatching system and mobile app that provides emergency responders with real-time alerts, mapping, and communication tools. It is commonly used by fire departments, EMS, and other first responders to receive call information, track apparatus, and coordinate responses efficiently. The platform integrates with dispatch centers to send notifications directly to responders’ smartphones or other devices, helping to improve response times and situational awareness. Active 911 also offers features like GPS tracking, incident management, and messaging to streamline emergency operations.

Collaboration with police, fire, and EMS teams is essential, requiring dispatchers to coordinate resources efficiently and provide real-time updates. Support from experienced colleagues and structured shift rotations help manage the demands of the role and reduce burnout.
