Fire Tracker SAR Command Board
One map for command, field teams, and drone operations.
Plan the search, assign teams to sectors, and follow what crews find as the operation develops. Command works from a shared map, while searchers open their assignment, check-in instructions, and clue reporting on their phones.

One Operation, One Shared Map
Fire Tracker SAR Command Board gives search and rescue operations a single workspace for the search itself. Command draws sectors on a shared map, assigns ground teams, and follows what crews report as the operation develops.
Searchers work from their own phones: they join the operation through its QR code and open My Assignment to see their sector, the map, and the radio and check-in instructions command has published.
The same workspace holds drone operations — planned sortie areas and recorded sightings — alongside field SOS alerts and the incident plans a search operation depends on.
Field tracking and clue reporting reflect what a searcher's device shares and what connectivity allows, so command should treat map data as supporting information rather than a guaranteed live position for every searcher.
The Challenge of Running a Search
A search moves faster than paper. Sector assignments end up on a printed map, clue reports arrive by radio, drone sorties are tracked by the pilot, and the ICS plans live in a folder back at command. Command ends up rebuilding the operation from memory after each update.
- Sector boundaries and team assignments that change faster than a paper map
- Searchers who never received the current radio or check-in instructions
- Clue locations relayed by voice with no shared record of where they were found
- Drone sightings tracked separately from the ground teams who verify them
- Field SOS traffic handled verbally, with no acknowledgement on record
- ICS 205, 206, and 208 plans maintained outside the operation
What SAR Command Board Covers
Search planning and team assignments
Draw search sectors, assign teams, update sector status, and mark command post, staging, hazards, and last known points.
Mobile field access
Searchers join through an operation QR code and open My Assignment to view their sector, map, and published radio and check-in instructions.
GPS breadcrumbs and clue reporting
Display field tracks when location sharing and connectivity are available. Capture clue locations, photos, and notes for command review.
Drone operations
Map planned sortie areas, record drone sightings, and assign a ground team to verify a sighting.
Field SOS and incident plans
Give command a workflow to acknowledge and resolve received field SOS alerts. Include support for ICS 205 communications, ICS 206 medical, and ICS 208 safety plans.
Built for the People Running the Search
Fire Tracker SAR Command Board is designed for the roles that plan, search, and coordinate an operation:
- Search managers and operations section chiefs
- Ground team leaders working assigned sectors
- Drone and UAS teams flying sortie areas
- Mutual-aid search and rescue agencies
- Emergency management and incident support staff
- Fire and EMS departments that support search operations
