Firefighter 48/96 Shift Schedule Template
A ready-made 48/96 platoon rotation: two 24-hour shifts, four 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 48/96 duty days, each 24-hour shift ending the next morning
- The 6-day cycle drift handled, no weekly repeat hacks
- A published link for spouses and parents, holidays-on-duty visible early
- Editable text: switch to 24/48 or your Kelly cycle before generating
A 48/96 repeats every 6 days, so the same two shifts drift backward through the week each cycle. Weekly repeat rules cannot express it, which is why platoon fridge calendars still exist.
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.
The published link replaces the fridge calendar. Everyone who plans around your duty days subscribes once, and a traded shift edited into the calendar reaches every phone on the next refresh.
