Who created Fire Service Life?

Fire Service Life was founded by Paul Brewer, a veteran firefighter with over two decades of fire service experience. His mission is to strengthen the culture, leadership, and legacy of the fire service through practical tools, digital resources, and field-tested wisdom.

What is the Legacy Binder?

The Legacy Folder was created after countless emergency responses where families struggled to locate critical paperwork or understand their loved one’s final wishes. It’s available as a Notion template or a fillable PDF and allows you to securely store vital family and financial information so that your loved ones always know where to turn when it matters most.

Yes, we do! Departments or training divisions interested in using our tools for entire crews or academies can contact us for group licensing and volume access options. Use the Contact page to get started.

Can I submit an idea or feature request for one of your apps?

Absolutely. We’re always listening to the fire service community. If there’s a feature, checklist, or improvement you’d like to see, use the Contact form to send your idea—we often build based on firefighter feedback.

Do you have books or resources on leadership and firehouse culture?

Yes. Paul has authored multiple books, including It’s Your Firehouse: Leadership Lessons from the Front Right Seat and Fire Service Life: Building a Career Worth Remembering. These books are written to inspire leadership, ownership, and pride in the craft from rookie to retirement.
