Web • Android • iPhone
One FireOps Calc system. Built for the engineer's seat.
Each version is designed for its platform, but the mission stays the same: fast pump math, practical fireground tools, department setup, pump cards, and driver/operator training support.
Use FireOps Calc on the platform that fits your workflow. The web and Android versions are built for fast calculator access and field-style tools. The Apple version uses a polished Engineer Console layout. All versions support the same core fire-service workflow: calculate, set up your department, build pump cards, and train with practical pump problems.
Fireground Tools
Use friction loss, hydrant flow, relay pumping, nozzle reaction, and water supply calculators.
Department Setup
Save common hose, nozzle, and apparatus presets so calculations match your department.
Pump Card
Build printable reference cards for preconnects, friction loss, smooth bore charts, and department notes.
FireOps Calc can look slightly different on Android, iPhone, and web, but the names, tools, purpose, and training workflow now line up as one product family.
Two apps, two clear jobs.
FireOps Calc is the field-use pump math and engineer reference app. FirePumpSim is the training app for visual scenarios, drill practice, and driver/operator skill development.
