The job is on the radio before anyone posts it
Fire alert pages wait for someone to hear the job, type it up and post it. Job Town doesn't wait for anyone: it hears all five borough dispatch channels and citywide, and turns each transmission into a job you can follow.
First to know
Every transmission, day and night. Nobody has to be awake to post it.
Hear it yourself
The dispatch audio comes with every job, free, with what was said written out.
The comments are the best part
Firehouse humor, arguments and photos from the scene, with the top comment right on the card.
Members keep it honest
One tap says whether the list of companies was right and who got there first. No password, no email.
The best photo of every job
Post a photo of fire showing and it goes on the job, with your name on it.
