Vector Solutions Introduces TargetSolutions Volunteer Edition to Expand Training Access for Volunteer Fire Departments

New streamlined, affordable training platform helps volunteer agencies meet standards, reduce risk and improve readiness 

TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to unique challenges facing volunteer fire departments, Vector Solutions, the leading provider of technology solutions to help train, prepare, and retain public safety professionals, today announced the launch of TargetSolutions Volunteer Edition – a scaled, more affordable version of its trusted TargetSolutions training and learning management platform designed specifically for volunteer agencies with 30 personnel or fewer. 

Volunteer firefighters make up approximately 65% of the U.S. fire service, yet many volunteer departments face growing difficulty meeting staffing and training demands due to more rigorous limited resources. Time constraints, administrative burden, and tight budgets make it difficult to deliver consistent, documented training, despite increasing expectations around compliance and readiness. Inadequate or inconsistent training has been linked to increased injury risk, operational errors, and compliance challenges, making accessible, standards-aligned training a critical need for volunteer agencies.

To address these challenges, TargetSolutions Volunteer Edition removes common barriers to training by offering a simplified, affordable solution that's purpose-built for volunteer agencies without sacrificing quality, accountability, or standards alignment. 

"Volunteer fire departments are asked to meet the same, if not more demanding, training requirements and readiness as larger agencies, often with far fewer resources," said Josh Grossman, General Manager of Public Sector at Vector Solutions. "TargetSolutions Volunteer Edition was built to simplify access to essential training while helping volunteer departments stay compliant, prepared, and operationally ready in a format that fits the realities of volunteer service." 

Designed for Volunteers, Built for Excellence
Designed to meet the unique needs of volunteer agencies operating with limited time and tight budgets, TargetSolutions Volunteer Edition delivers essential firefighter training, tracking, and documentation without the complexity or cost of enterprise-level systems.

With this platform, departments can:

• Deliver essential NFPA-aligned fire and safety training anytime, anywhere.
• Track training progress and maintain accurate digital records for compliance and audits.
• Simplify administration with intuitive tools and easy setup. 
• Budget confidently with predictable pricing and no per-user fees, setup costs, or maintenance charges.

"Training is foundational to firefighter safety, performance, and retention, especially in volunteer departments," said Robbi King, a 27-year veteran firefighter, former Chief Officer, and now Director, Public Sector Solutions Engineer at Vector Solutions. "This offering ensures volunteer departments can stay compliant and prepared without adding complexity or cost."
