The Pottsville Fire Department is now using an app called "IamResponding," to help them fight fires.
The department started using the app on a trial basis about two months ago and now they're subscribing to it full-time.
The app allows firefighters to alert one another about who will be responding to a scene. Pottsville Fire Chief Todd March said this app is a big deal because all of his firefighters are volunteers.
The app uses Google Maps to show them other information such as where fire hydrants are or how to get to a scene using GPS.
The Schuylkill Haven Fire Department also started using the app at the beginning of the year which costs about $800 per year.
