Community Connect allows users to create a personalized life‑safety profile that can include medical or mobility needs, information about family members and pets, and details about the home or business that might help crews respond more effectively. Murfreesboro Fire Rescue Department says the goal is simple: better information leads to faster, safer outcomes when every moment counts.
Fire‑Rescue Chief Mark McCluskey said the program strengthens the partnership between first responders and the community they serve. “With First Due Community Connect, the Murfreesboro Fire Rescue is partnering with residents and business owners to better protect what matters most,” he said. “By securely sharing important details—like medical information, emergency contacts, property access points, or building layouts—you help our crews respond faster and more effectively. Whether it’s a fire, medical emergency, or disaster response, your safety is our mission, because in an emergency, every second counts.”
Signing up is straightforward. Users create a free account with basic contact information, then add whatever details they feel comfortable sharing. The platform organizes the information into easy‑to‑navigate sections for households and businesses, making it simple to update as things change over time.
MFRD emphasizes that all data is protected with bank‑level encryption and used only for emergency response. Nothing is shared for any other purpose, and participation is entirely voluntary.
For residents who want to take a proactive step toward preparedness—and help first responders help them—Community Connect is now available at murfreesborotn.gov/mfrdcommunityconnect.
