Onboarding wizard

Build your own demo department in minutes

Answer a few questions about your department, and we'll build a demo department just for you. It's free, and we don't ask for payment details.

Who the wizard is for

Chiefs, officers and admins

You're looking at Odyssey to replace your current systems - pen & paper, spreadsheets and/or single point solutions, and you want to try it out before making a commitment (smart!)

Not for members trying to log in

If Odyssey has already been set up for your department there's no need to set it up again - sign in at odyssey.firehouse247.com, or ask your admin to add you.

What happens

1. A few easy questions

Find your department in the U.S. Fire Administration's registry, then tell us who you are, what isn't working today and what kind of department you run.

2. Sign in with a code

We email you a 6-digit code. Enter it and you're in. There's no password to set or remember.

3. Your own demo department

Just for you, with sample members and you as the admin. A short tour shows you the parts you said you need.

4. Then your real people

When you want to see it with your own people and processes, send us your roster, assignments, policies, overtime lists and checklists, in any format, and we'll load them for you.

What we ask for, and why

Your department

Picked from the U.S. Fire Administration's national registry, so we know who you are and a little bit about you.

Your name, rank and email

So we can email your sign-in code and make you the admin of your demo department. A department email address works best.

What isn't working today

Which parts of the job you want help with, what you use now and how soon you need a fix, so your tour starts with what matters to you.

Your department's type and size

Career, volunteer, per diem, or combination, and roughly how many members, runs and stations, so your demo looks like your department.

Questions

Does it cost anything?

No. Trying Odyssey costs nothing and we don't ask for a card. If you decide you want it for real, we'll set up your department with your own data and keep what you've learned in the demo.

Who sees what I enter?

The Firehouse247 team, so we can follow up with you. We don't sell it, and we don't use it for advertising. Our privacy policy has the details.

Are those real people in my demo?

No. The members in your demo are made up. Nothing about your real people goes into Odyssey until you send us your data.

Who can see my demo?

You, and our team so we can help you. It's kept separate from every other department on Odyssey, the same way every customer's data is.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in your web browser, on a desktop, laptop, MDT, or phone.

What if I get stuck?

Email info@firehouse247.com, or contact us and we'll walk you through it.

Rather talk it through first?

Tell us about your department and we'll find a time to go through it together.
