Blazemark was created by firefighters and professional Fire Protection Engineers to serve the vital need for Pre-planning. We use Blazemark for our firehouses, and as part of the professional services work we do with our clients.

Our pre-planning application is used by hundreds of customers across 1000s of structures and millions of square feet; plus it is used for major interstate exchanges, waterways, rail, and pipelines.

Our staff has extensive experience in EHS and emergency services in settings that include: industry, Department of Defense, career and volunteer Fire/EMS/Rescue departments, and Law Enforcement.

We keep an “All-Hazards” approach with civilian and responder safety at the core of everything we do.  Our staff includes experienced first responders and officers with training in building construction and emergency response.
