Common Questions About This Fire Department Intranet
What is this fire department intranet built with?
The design uses only standard SharePoint web parts – News, Events, Image, and Text – combined with a custom theme, custom fonts, an extended header, audience targeting, and flexible sections. There is no custom code and no third-party tools anywhere on the page. It is the kind of clean, maintainable intranet Greg Zelfond builds for fire departments and public safety agencies.
What’s included on the fire department intranet homepage?
The homepage opens with a hero featuring the department mission statement and an optional welcome video from the Chief. Below it sit department news, direct access to policies, SOPs, safety protocols, and official forms, a calendar for training and events, firefighter and volunteer spotlights, a dashboard, quick links to divisions like Engine Companies, EMS / Rescue, and Training, and a community outreach section.
Does this design use any custom code or third-party tools?
No. Everything on this intranet is built with out-of-the-box SharePoint capabilities. That matters because it stays stable, secure, and easy to maintain – nothing breaks when Microsoft rolls out updates, and there are no third-party licenses to renew. Out-of-the-box is the only way Greg builds, which keeps long-term ownership simple for any department.
Can this design be customized for our fire department?
Absolutely. The colors, fonts, logo, and imagery are all tailored to your department’s identity, and the sections fit your structure. Greg adapts the layout to your stations and shifts, the SOPs and safety protocols your crews reference most, your divisions – from engine and ladder companies to EMS and training – and the community outreach programs you want to highlight.
Will this fire department intranet work on mobile devices?
Yes. SharePoint is fully responsive, so the intranet automatically adapts to phones and tablets through the browser or the SharePoint mobile app. Crews can pull up SOPs, safety protocols, training schedules, and department news from the station floor, the apparatus, or in the field – wherever the shift takes them.
Can Greg build this fire department intranet for our department?
Yes – this is exactly the kind of work Greg Zelfond does. As an independent SharePoint consultant and Microsoft MVP, he designs and builds out-of-the-box intranets like this one for fire departments and public safety agencies, tailored to your mission, divisions, and crews.
