Turnout Board: a digital availability board for volunteer fire departments

Why it surfaced

This is a remarkably focused piece of department infrastructure: no app store, passwords, or per-member pricing, just personal links and a board that updates every thirty seconds. Its copy understands the audience, from recurring second-shift commitments to departments that “run on chicken dinners and grant money.”

Turnout Board lets firefighters tap “I'm Available” or “I'm Away” from a home-screen link while officers see a live, sorted count of who can respond.
