Work Orders Overview
Work Orders
Work orders help track repairs, maintenance tasks, and associated costs for vehicles, stations, and equipment. The FireWorks system provides comprehensive work order management from creation through completion and cost tracking.
If this is your first time using work orders, review the Work Order Interface Guide to familiarize yourself with the workspace layout.
Work Order Types
Work orders can be created for different object types:
- Apparatus/Warehouse - Vehicle and warehouse maintenance
- Hydrant - Fire hydrant repairs and maintenance
- Item - Equipment repairs and replacements
- Station - Station facility maintenance
Work types include fuel, maintenance, parts replacement, and repair tasks.
