    SmartDraw

    SmartDraw

    SmartDraw helps fire departments create fire pre-plans and document fire incidents. Import Google Maps or GIS data or add existing PDF plans to markup. Use NFPA standard symbols.What makes SmartDraw unique is you can use it to make floor plans, site plans, evacuation plans from scratch if needed. Import photos, create accurate, standardized documents. Export to PDF to attach files to your RMS or save files to SharePoint, Google Drive, or OneDrive. SmartDraw is not an RMS or a comprehensive NFIRS reporting platform, but it can provide the diagramming layer that your fire marshals and inspectors need. Pair it with any RMS, including First Due or ESO, or use it as a standalone solution that's easy to learn and won't break your budget. SmartDraw makes fire pre-plans easy to create, maintain, and update.

Founded in 2016 as PhaRmLogs, Emergency Logs is a Veteran-owned company and a three-time Gartner award-winning program. The platform is designed, built, and maintained by a team of firefighters and paramedics with more than 50 years of combined Fire and EMS experience, so every feature comes from real station life, not a sales roadmap. What it replaces. Paper checklists, spreadsheets, binders, and disconnected apps. Crews complete checks on a phone, tablet, or station computer.
