BadgeDay is the fire career app built by Grant Collings — a fire captain with over 20 years in the fire service. One side gets you hired. The other gets you promoted.
Hundreds test for a handful of badges — and most are eliminated by avoidable mistakes long before the interview. BadgeDay Recruit builds the skills that carry you through every stage, and steers you around the errors that quietly end most candidacies.
Your promotional exam is written from your department's own policies and procedures. BadgeDay Promote lets you upload the exact material you'll be tested on and generates practice exams validated against what you submitted.
I've spent over 20 years in the fire service, and I'm an active captain today. I've watched capable candidates wash out of hiring for completely avoidable reasons — and sharp firefighters walk out of promotional exams beaten not by the material, but by how they studied it. BadgeDay is the tool I wish existed at both moments. It's built nights and off-days by someone who's sat on both sides of the table — not by a test-prep company guessing at what the fire service needs.
It's in active development. Waitlist members get beta invitations first, and founding-member pricing at launch.
No. BadgeDay is an independent product of Sirens to Syntax and isn't affiliated with any fire department, union local, or testing vendor. On the promotion side, you upload your own authorized study materials.
Joining the waitlist is free and gets you the guide immediately. Waitlist members get founding-member pricing before anyone else at launch.
Department use is on the roadmap. Join the waitlist and reply to any email — department interest directly shapes what gets built first.
