Did you know your firehouse, fire department or organization
can start a FREE group on FirefighterNation.com?
With a group for your department you can have your own
member/personnel forum for your department, a box to post
announcements and other widgets and the ability to easily contact
all of your members at once using the 'Send Message to Members'
tool. This is great for important department announcements and
informational messages, essentially a free mailing list.
It's easy to set up a group:
- Go to http://www.FirefighterNation.com/groups
- Click the 'Create a New Group' link on the left side or go
directly to http://www.firefighternation.com/groups/group/new.
- Enter your group's name (such as 'XYZ Fire Department'), a
short description, a custom logo/avatar, choose a custom address
(such as www.firefighternation.com/group/myfiredepartmentname),
and then you can also add a link to your department under 'External
Website'
- Select your Privacy Setting. You can enable your group to be
open to all users OR ONLY to those members you invite, thus
ensuring only approved users can participate. You can also control
who can invite other members and how.
That's It! You are done!
Use the 'Invite More Friends' link on your group page to start
inviting members to join. New members will have to fill out a basic
free Firefighter Nation profile but have total control over what
information they provide beyond a login name.
