1. A fire apparatus, comprising:

  • an engine;

    a water tank configured to store water;

    an agent tank configured to store a fire suppressing agent;

    a fuel tank configured to store a fuel used to power the engine; and

    a processing circuit configured to;

    monitor fluid level data indicating at least one of a water level within the water tank, a fire suppressing agent level within the agent tank, and a fuel level within the fuel tank;

    monitor fault data indicating any active faults with components of the fire apparatus;

    monitor maintenance data indicating whether maintenance is due or overdue;

    monitor exercise data indicating an elapsed time since the fire apparatus was last exercised;

    identify one or more primary factors, one or more primary reducers, and one or more secondary reducers from the fluid level data, the fault data, the maintenance data, and the exercise data, wherein the one or more primary factors include at least one of (i) the water level within the water tank and (ii) the fire suppressing agent level within the agent tank, wherein the one or more primary reducers include at least one of (i) the fuel level within the fuel tank and (ii) active serious faults, and wherein the one or more secondary reducers include at least one of (i) a diesel exhaust fluid level within a diesel exhaust fluid reservoir, (ii) active moderate faults, (iii) the maintenance being due or overdue, and (iv) the elapsed time since the fire apparatus was last exercised;

    determine a primary factor value associated with the one or more primary factors, a primary reducer value associated with the one or more primary reducers, and a secondary reducer value associated with the one or more secondary reducers; and

    determine a readiness score for the fire apparatus by subtracting the primary reducer value and the secondary reducer value from the primary factor value; and

    at least one of transmit the readiness score to (i) a display device configured to display a readiness graphical user interface including the readiness score to an operator of the fire apparatus and (ii) a remote server.
