Tones to turnout. Dispatch to handoff. One app connects paid, volunteer, and mutual-aid crews on any phone — anywhere the call takes you.

Four situations we hear about from fire chiefs and EMS directors every week — and how Tango Tango fits.
Use cellular or WiFi to cover gaps in your radio coverage — schools, large buildings, or rural stretches.
Stay on comms without lugging a radio around. Monitor traffic en route to work or after-hours callouts.
Mutual aid across different radio systems. Sheriff in the next county gets on your channel in a minute.
When the radio tower goes down, keep talking. A second network that doesn't share failure modes with LMR.
Send a familiar two-tone page to every phone on the call — with the incident details, GPS coordinates, and driving directions attached as a CAD Alert. Volunteers get the alert they're used to, with the context they've always wished they had.
Same tone-outs your crews already respond to, delivered to any phone on the channel — no pagers to maintain.
Volunteers don't need a separate pager charged and at arm's reach. If they have their phone, they get the page.
See who acknowledged and who's en route before the truck leaves the house — without anyone keying up to say so.
Every new incident from your CAD auto-forwards to everyone on the right channel — with the address, what3words, driving directions, and full narrative. No one has to ask dispatch to repeat.
If your CAD can send an email, we can parse it. No integration project, no vendor meetings.
Tap the alert, get turn-by-turn directions from wherever the responder is. Great for rural districts without a street number.
Route by incident type so structure fires hit the fire channel and medicals hit EMS — not every phone on the network.
When two, three, or four departments meet at the same incident, radio patches are slow and politics are slower. Put everyone on a shared talkgroup in seconds — no matter what radio system they came in on.
P25, VHF, UHF, and analog all connect to the same talkgroup. No new hardware on the truck, no RF work on either side.
Invite neighboring agencies to a shared channel on the fly. No waiting on a console patch or a supervisor callback.
Set up channels for wildland, hazmat, MCI, and strike teams ahead of time so nobody's configuring during the incident.
While many regional radio systems unofficially support technology like Tango Tango, some large systems have made it official. See who they are.
Trusted by those who protect
Hear from agencies across the United States.
Tango Tango Interoperability is a must in rural Georgia. Many cases cross jurisdictional boundaries and we all have different radio systems. We've greatly improved response and officer safety. We can communicate in a minute's notice.

Repair and replacement covered
Straight answers to what fire and EMS leaders ask before they try us.
Does this replace our existing radio system?
No — it extends it. Most agencies run Tango Tango alongside their P25, VHF, or analog system to fill dead zones, reach volunteers on their phones, and run mutual aid channels. For some smaller VFDs it does become the primary. We'll help you figure out the right fit.
How do tone-outs work for volunteer departments?
We send a page to every phone on the call, with the incident details, address, and a map. Keep your existing pagers in service if you wish — this is an additon, not necessarily a replacement, it doesn't force you to rip anything out.
Will it work in our rural dead zones?
If any cellular network reaches the responder — FirstNet, Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile — Tango Tango works. For areas where no carrier has coverage, it falls back to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth mesh between nearby devices. We won't promise service where there isn't any, but the multi-network approach covers ground a single-carrier pager can't.
Can we record and retain traffic for post-incident review?
Yes. Every call is recorded and retained according to your policy. Administrators can play back missed calls from the app, export for post-incident review or litigation holds, and control access. You own the recordings.
What happens when a volunteer leaves or loses a phone?
Revoke their access from the admin portal in seconds — they're off the channel immediately. No device to recover, no radio to wipe, and the department keeps all history tied to the account, not the person.
Are there grants that cover this?
Often, yes. AFG, SAFER, state homeland security grants, and some rural broadband programs have funded Tango Tango deployments. We're not a grant-writing service, but we'll share what other departments have used and connect you with partners who specialize in this.
These stories come from teams using every part of Tango Tango. Here's what they're working with.
