Prominent alerting
The phone can ring, vibrate, flash and open a clear full-screen view with the message.
Android app for volunteer firefighters
When an alarm arrives, every second matters.
Configure the app once for your unit. It then waits in the background, recognises an alert SMS, wakes the phone and lets you clearly confirm whether you will respond.
Android 9 and newer
Works with alert SMS messages
History stays on the phone
Why it exists
An emergency SMS must not disappear among ordinary notifications.
Hasiči SMS is a supporting app for volunteer fire crews. It waits in the background, identifies the right message and helps members respond quickly without searching through ordinary notifications.
Application features
Everything important from message receipt to station arrival
Simple controls, prominent signalling and a clear event history without unnecessary steps.
Yes / No response
A crew member confirms attendance immediately. The choice and response time are recorded.
Alarm history
Received events, responses and times remain available for later review.
Custom filters
Recognition can match senders, SMS text and the dispatch format used by a specific unit.
Sound, vibration and light
Signalling can be adjusted for the environment, including silent mode and automatic alarm stop.
Station arrival tracking
Optional location support can record station arrival and the time needed to get there.
Configured for your unit
Set it up once. It then waits until it is needed.
Grant the required permissions and choose the alert rules on first launch. You can then tailor the behaviour to your phone, unit and time of day.
What triggers an alert
Combine message text, keywords and sender numbers. Multiple filters can work together to match the dispatch method used by your unit.
How the phone alerts you
Choose a siren, vibration, flash, silent mode, volume and a timed profile. The signal can also stop automatically after a configured period.
What Yes and No do
Your choice and response time are saved in the history. The app can optionally send a confirmation SMS to a configured number.
How station location helps
Set the station to measure arrival time, limit loud alerts by distance and automatically stop active signalling after arrival.
Ready in the background
Once configured, the app remains active with a persistent notification. You do not need to open it before every dispatch – it waits for a matching SMS.

How it works
Three steps from SMS to decision
An alert message arrives
The app compares the sender and content with configured rules.
The phone alerts the member
It displays the full text and uses enabled sound, vibration or flash.
The member confirms attendance
The Yes or No choice is stored together with the response time.
A supporting tool, not a replacement for official dispatch
Hasiči SMS is a beta application and must never be the only information channel used to dispatch crews to emergencies.
