About First Response
Tech Services
Technology built for the field — not the boardroom. We go where the need is greatest and we stay until the job is done.
The Technology Partner
You Call When It Counts
First Response Tech Services was built on a simple principle: critical technology should never be the weak link in an emergency. We exist to make sure the people who run toward danger — EMS crews, firefighters, emergency managers, disaster responders — have reliable communications and connectivity when everything else is failing around them.
Based in Dubuque, Iowa, we serve businesses and emergency services organizations across the tri-state area daily. But our work doesn't stop at the state line. When disasters strike — hurricanes bearing down on the Florida coast, floods cutting off rural communities — we load up and go. We've pre-positioned in Florida ahead of named storms and been boots on the ground in the aftermath, restoring communications infrastructure for those who need it most.
We treat every project like a mission. Whether it's a VOIP installation for a small business, a fleet of ambulances needing complete electrical upfits, or a rapid deployment to a disaster zone with no infrastructure — we plan it carefully, execute it fast, and don't leave until it works.

Coverage & Deployment Zones
Headquartered in Dubuque, IA — with the equipment, experience, and logistics to deploy anywhere the mission demands.
Our home base. We serve businesses, EMS agencies, fire departments, and institutions in and around Dubuque with full-service installations, maintenance, and rapid-response support.
Regular service coverage across Eastern Iowa, Southwest Wisconsin, and Northwest Illinois. We're on the road daily for installations, service calls, and project work throughout the region.
Trusted in the Midwest and as far away as Florida — we pre-position ahead of named storms and deploy immediately after landfall to restore communications for EMS agencies, emergency managers, and critical facilities.
Floods, severe storms, and infrastructure failures don't follow state lines. Our rapid-deployment equipment and field-hardened team can mobilize for disaster response operations anywhere in the continental United States.
Temporary internet, WiFi, and security systems for construction sites, outdoor events, festivals, and temporary facilities — anywhere in our service region and beyond for large-scale events.
Ambulance, fire, and law enforcement fleet upfitting for agencies throughout Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. We come to your fleet garage or you can bring vehicles to us.
