About Us

I’m Captain Ryan Harris, the founder of Fireground Analytics. At my core, I’m not just a firefighter — I’m also a husband, a father, and a taxpayer. Like every civilian, I want to know that the fire department protecting my wife and children will do the right thing on the fireground. Too often I’ve seen after-action reports swayed by politics or public perception, rather than pure performance and accountability.

As a firefighter, I want to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with every other firefighter, knowing each of us will do what’s right for the people we serve. But I also understand the realities: some jurisdictions can’t justify the skyrocketing costs of new fire engines or ladder trucks. Taxpayers don’t want to see their taxes doubled, and departments are stuck trying to justify requests for additional funding. On top of that, many departments don’t have access to the most current, time-to-task training — not because they don’t want it, but because they can’t prove the need to budget makers.

Fireground Analytics is built to close that gap. By turning fireground actions into measurable data, we help leaders show — with clarity — why investment in staffing, equipment, and training is not just wanted, but necessary. If a department can show that a 4-person crew completes critical tasks in half the time of a 2-person crew, that data becomes the argument that justifies the funding.

This platform is about more than technology — it’s about accountability, credibility, and ensuring firefighters everywhere can deliver on the promise to protect. When time is the enemy, data is the solution.
