Firefighter 24/48 Shift Schedule Template
A ready-made 24/48 platoon rotation: one 24-hour shift, two days off, generated a year ahead and published as a calendar link the whole family follows.
What's in this template
- A full year of 24/48 duty days, each 24-hour shift ending the next morning
- The 3-day cycle drift handled, duty days on the right weekdays for 12 months
- A published link for spouses and parents, holidays-on-duty visible early
- Editable text: switch to 48/96 or a Kelly cycle before generating
The 24/48 is the classic three-platoon schedule: one 24-hour shift, two days off, repeating forever. The 3-day cycle never lines up with the 7-day week, so A, B, and C shift each drift through the weekdays and only realign every 21 days. Weekly repeat rules cannot express that.
This template generates the rotation as real events: anchor it to your platoon's next duty day, set the shift-change time, and build a year in one pass. Each 24-hour shift ends at the correct hour the next morning.
Publish and the family stops asking which days are duty days. Everyone who plans around the platoon calendar subscribes to one link, and a traded shift edited into the calendar reaches every phone on the next refresh.
