# The FireQ Notification Center
The FireQ Notification Center is a dashboard that serves as an electronic bulletin board, a central hub where relevant information is displayed all in one place. The types of information visible here can include:
- Fire department statistics that include the total number and hours accumulated for incident response, training and other activities.
- Bulletins - notifications that are sent to all members through the FireQ app, as well as creating a stickied message on the message screen. They can be created with an expiry date so that the message will disappear automatically.
- Notice board for upcoming events and important dates
- An at-a-glance view of the local weather conditions
- Alerts about expiring equipment and certifications - Alerts provide information about expiry dates that have been entered into the system. Alerts will also broadcast reminders about expiring certifications. Alerts are posted 30 days prior to the entered expiry date.
- Off-duty member list - Member duty status provides at-a-glance information about which firefighters are off-duty and unavailable, as well as the date of their return.
- A list of the most recent calls to which the department has responded
