Fleet operators
Buses, coaches, haulage and machinery. Know about a fire on the road as it happens, wherever the vehicle is, with the position the fire service needs.
The moment a fire starts, the right people know.
Firealert puts a monitored fire alarm in your trucks, buses and buildings. Alarms reach your team by app, email and web, keep escalating until someone acknowledges, and can go straight to the nearest fire station with the live location.

A vehicle fire doesn't wait for someone to notice.
What fire research says about buses and coaches.
- 4–5 min
- In a full-scale bus fire test, passengers had at most 4 to 5 minutes to get out before toxic gases reached dangerous levels.
- 1–1.4%
- of buses and coaches in service are involved in a fire each year, 5 to 10 times the rate for heavy goods vehicles.
- Engine bay
- Most bus and coach fires start in the engine compartment, at the back of the vehicle and out of sight.

How it works
How an alarm travels
From a sensor in the engine bay to a fire station's screen, every step is recorded, and nobody has to remember to pass it on.
- 1
The device detects it
A Firealert device in the vehicle or building reports fire, smoke and panic alarms over the mobile network, along with temperature, battery, signal strength and GPS position.
- 2
Your team is alerted
Everyone on the first stage gets a push notification and an email at once. On the phone, a fire alarm takes over the screen until someone deals with it.
- 3
It escalates until someone acknowledges
If nobody responds, the next people are alerted, then the next, on the delays you set. Acknowledging in the app, on the web or from the email link stops the ladder.
- 4
The fire station sees it too
Fire, smoke and panic alarms can go to the responsible station's console with the live position. The station accepts, dispatches, and you see each step in the incident.
Owner web app
Your whole fleet, on one screen
Every vehicle and building on one live map, every alarm with its full story, and the alert rules your team actually agreed on.
Live map and trip replay

Incidents with the full record
Each alarm keeps its timeline: who was alerted, on which channel, whether it was delivered, who acknowledged and what the fire service did.
An escalation ladder you control
Choose who is alerted at each stage, after how long and how. Push and email today; SMS, voice calls and WhatsApp are coming.
Temperature and device health
Battery, temperature, signal and last-seen for every device, temperature history per zone, and a list of what needs attention.
Team and who to call
Invite your team with roles, set quiet hours and per-asset alerts, and keep emergency contacts with each vehicle or building.

For fire departments
The call comes with the facts
When a monitored vehicle or building in your area raises a fire alarm, the console takes over with the asset, the owner, the distance and the live position.
Accept and dispatch
Accept the alarm, choose the appliance and track it through en route, on scene and under control.
Know before you arrive
The owner's pre-incident notes, access details and contacts, and a chat with the owner during the incident.
Forward when you can’t go
Pass an alarm to a neighbouring station with a reason and a note. It sees the offer and the distance.
History and analytics
Every callout with its outcome and timings, and an overview of your station's alarms over time.
Who it's for
One alarm, three people who need to hear it
Building owners
Warehouses, depots and sites. Alarms reach you after hours, and each building carries its address, zones and a pre-incident plan for the fire service.
See the owner appFire departments
Alarms from monitored assets in your area arrive on a console built for the station, with the position, the owner and the plan.

FAQ
Questions we hear
Something else? Email hello@firemobile.dev or call +234 815 170 0676.
Does Firealert put out fires?
No. Firealert detects alarms and makes sure the right people respond, quickly and on the record. It doesn't replace a fire suppression system.
What happens if nobody answers?
The escalation ladder keeps going. Each stage alerts more people after the delay you choose, until someone acknowledges in the app, on the web or from the email link. The incident shows exactly who was alerted, how, and when.
Which alarms reach the fire station?
Fire, smoke and panic alarms. Faults such as a low battery, a probe fault or a device that has gone quiet stay with your own team.
Does it work for buildings as well as vehicles?
Yes. A building is an asset like a vehicle, with an address instead of a moving position, its zones, and a pre-incident plan for the fire service.
Can my whole team get alerts?
Yes. Invite your team with roles, put people on the stages of the ladder, set quiet hours, and choose alerts per asset. Everyone sees the same incident.
When are the mobile apps available?
The iOS and Android apps are coming soon. The owner web app works today in any modern browser.
How much does it cost?
Monitoring is a monthly fee per vehicle or building, from R249 to R299 depending on how many assets you have, plus the hardware once and installation. See the pricing above, or book a demo for a quote in rand.
How does a fire department join?
Fire departments enrol separately, through the station console. We verify the department, then you add your stations, your area and your team, and start receiving alarms from monitored assets nearby.
