A Legacy Rebuilt

Fire Wire began as a passion project to track live FDNY incidents and keep the community informed. Over the years, it’s grown into a go-to resource for emergency updates and scanner feeds. Version 3 honors that foundation while modernizing every layer—making the app faster, cleaner, and more versatile than ever before.

Built for Speed, Just Like You

This latest version features an all-new backend infrastructure. Expect faster load times, smoother navigation, and real-time updates without lag or crashes. Whether it’s a box alarm in the Bronx or a hazmat call in London, the app performs seamlessly, even during high-traffic surges.

Redesigned Interface

The user interface is sleeker and more intuitive. A refreshed layout makes it easier to access your feed, map, notifications, and live scanners. It’s clean, customizable, and optimized - perfect for use in the field or on the go.
