What is a 24/48 shift schedule?

A 24/48 schedule usually means 24 hours on duty followed by 48 hours off duty, repeating every 3 days.

Does the ICS file create 24-hour timed events?

This version exports all-day duty markers. Use the labels and preview to confirm dates before importing.

Can I include off days?

Yes. Turn on the off-day option before exporting if you want off-duty days included.

Is this an official firefighter or police schedule?

No. This tool only expands the pattern from your selected start date. It is not an official employer, department, or union calendar.
