Overview
GIS services and support for fire departments are most effective when technical expertise meets real-world understanding of fire service operations and needs. Raven & Anvil LLC brings these together to deliver practical, sustainable geospatial solutions tailored to the fire service.
Founded by a certified GIS Professional (GISP) with over 12 years of experience, including more than five years dedicated to the fire service, Raven & Anvil works directly with fire departments and public safety agencies nationwide, including independent, municipal, county, and regional organizations.
Our GIS consultants collaborate with agency personnel to understand their needs, develop tailored solutions, and expand their use of Esri's ArcGIS technology. Rather than selling proprietary software, we build solutions with departments, within their own ArcGIS environments, so they retain ownership and control of their data, applications, and resources.
We collaborate with technology providers to integrate third-party data, applications, and services, helping agencies maximize their existing technology investments while maintaining flexibility, ownership, and long-term sustainability.
Raven & Anvil is a certified Military Spouse-Owned Enterprise and Premier Partner of the First Responder Liaison Network (FRLN).
