PRESS RELEASE
MIAMI — First Due has earned a spot on the 2026 GovTech 100 list for the second year in a row, reinforcing its position as a leading end-to-end software provider for fire and EMS agencies. The list, curated annually by Government Technology magazine, highlights the most innovative technology companies supporting state and local governments.
Across North America, Fire and EMS leaders are being asked to do more with less: respond faster, operate efficiently, and meet growing expectations for accountability and compliance. At the same time, agencies must manage staffing, readiness, and increasing call volumes. Legacy systems and fragmented tools add friction, create administrative burden, and limit agencies’ ability to act on the data needed to improve operations and outcomes.
First Due delivers a comprehensive, true-cloud, AI-powered platform built to power the full scope of first responder operations. The platform centralizes fire incident documentation, ePCR, pre-incident planning, fire prevention, scheduling, asset and inventory management, training, incident management, mobile response, and more within a single, all-in-one operating system. This integrated approach drives automated workflows and real-time operational visibility, enabling agencies to modernize their operations and make faster, more confident decisions.
Government Technology magazine’s GovTech 100 recognizes companies supporting state and local government with technology solutions. First Due’s second consecutive inclusion reflects recent platform expansion for Fire and EMS, including Health and Wellness and ITM (Inspect, Test, and Maintain) capabilities; AI-assisted fire incident reporting and ePCR documentation designed to help responders save time and improve accuracy at the time of response; AI QA/QI workflows for EMS records; and expanded support for state EMS services––while also extending its platform into adjacent public safety areas, including law enforcement scheduling built for both major metropolitan agencies and smaller municipalities.
This recognition follows continued adoption by agencies of all sizes, including major cities such as the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) and the District of Columbia Fire and EMS, as they join thousands of departments nationwide in modernizing their public safety operations with First Due.
“Recognition like the GovTech 100 is meaningful because it reflects the real challenges Fire and EMS agencies face every day,” said Andreas Huber, CEO of First Due. “Agencies need technology that supports the full scope of their operations, from response and reporting to administration, compliance, and long-term planning. This recognition highlights the trust agencies place in a unified platform that helps them run their organizations more effectively and better serve their communities as public safety continues to evolve.”
