• Darkhorse Response turns raw incident data into decisions you can act on. Fast. No more spreadsheet scrambles—just sharp, visual insights that help you save time, money, and lives.
• Darkhorse Risk lets fire and emergency services map community risk in days, not months. It blends national and local data to reveal risk hotspots, back evidence-based action, and defend your decisions.
These tools reflect what we stand for: smarter resource use, stronger public safety, and real progress in risk reduction.

Station Planning Guide
As call volumes surge and budgets tighten nationwide, strategic station planning has never been more critical to a fire department’s success.
We’ve recognized this need and have spent over a decade developing solutions that help our clients optimize resources, improve response times, and plan effectively for the future.
We’re excited to share our free Station Planning Guide— a practical resource to help fire departments operate at peak efficiency. This guide equips fire chiefs with the knowledge and confidence to make data-backed decisions, eliminating guesswork and ultimately saving lives.
After reading this guide, you’ll be able to:
Rethink Station Impact
Identify underperforming stations that may hinder response times due to outdated planning.
Explore neighborhood dynamics (life cycles, demographics) and their influence on station needs.
Understand how aging, renewal, and road networks affect station coverage.
Link station planning to measurable outcomes: improved response times, lives saved, reduced property damage.
Create Effective Station Planning Strategies
Forecasting essentials: determining detail levels, planning horizons, and handling growth.
Move beyond traditional coverage models to accurate probabilistic modeling for optimal station density.
Embrace modern station models: smaller, satellite, and mixed-use stations to reduce costs and maximize coverage.
