Built by someone who understands the fire service
AI Fire Guy was not built in a boardroom. It was born from real firehouse problems: too much paperwork, not enough time, and technology solutions that never quite fit.
After 40 years in the fire service — rising through the ranks to Battalion Chief of Training and EMS — Ken Lord has seen the operational challenges departments face. Now he helps fire departments cut through the AI noise and find practical tools that actually make a difference.
