The FDS Team
Brian Kingery
Customer Success
Brian committed 33 years to the fire service, retiring as a Logistics Captain in 2018. Throughout his career as a firefighter/officer Brian developed skills in personnel supervision, program development & management, and training (16 years as an EMT instructor). It was during his more than 8 years in the logistics unit that Brian became intimately involved in turnout design/development and comprehensive PPE wear testing. As a result, he has been involved in NFPA 1851 related work since 2007.
“The journey from public servant to civilian business owner has been a rewarding experience. Thinking back to managing the logistics unit, my most valued vendors were those that were reliable, responsive, and prone to building a strong and lasting relationship. This is the business model that we, all of us at Fire Data Solutions, have strived to build and maintain.”
Andrew Reilly
Technology
Andy combines decades of computer experience with over 20 years in the Fire Service. His experience as a software customer in the Fire Service using and managing software specific to Fire and Public Safety, combined with experience working in IT both in the corporate and public sectors gives him a unique handle on what our customers want and need.
“As a firefighter/EMT my passion is to help those who need it the most. The same holds true for technology. I see people frustrated with poorly designed software and know that we can do better. Technology should make our jobs easier, more productive, and more satisfying.“
