Real-Time Incident Command, Accountability & Fireground Management
Take command of the incident from one live, organized command board.
Fire Tracker Incident Command gives fire and rescue departments a centralized system for managing personnel, apparatus, assignments, PAR checks, hazards, preplans, tactical benchmarks, mutual aid, and incident documentation. Designed for real-world fireground operations, Incident Command helps command officers maintain a clear operational picture as an incident develops.
Know Who Is There. Know Their Assignment. Maintain Accountability.
From the first-arriving unit through a multi-department mutual-aid operation, Fire Tracker Incident Command helps command officers maintain a clear picture of personnel, apparatus, assignments, hazards, PAR status, and operational progress.
Personnel Accountability
Track firefighters by name, badge number, rank, apparatus, and assignment.
Apparatus Tracking
See responding and on-scene apparatus and organize resources as the incident develops.
PAR Management
Use configurable PAR timers to help maintain accountability intervals and document PAR activity.
Incident Assignments
Quickly organize personnel and resources into divisions, groups, and tactical assignments.
Live Command Board
Maintain a centralized operational picture of the incident.
Incident Documentation
Capture important command activity throughout the incident for reporting and after-action review.
Live Incident Command Board
Manage the incident from one centralized command board. View personnel, apparatus, assignments, groups, divisions, tasks, PAR status, tactical benchmarks, hazards, and incident activity.
Changes made during the incident are reflected across connected devices so authorized command personnel can maintain a current operational picture.
Apparatus, Division & Group Management
Add responding apparatus and organize resources into operational assignments as the incident develops.
Command and group officers can be identified so the Incident Commander can maintain an organized ICS structure and span of control. Departments can also define their own divisions, groups, and assignments.
Personnel Accountability & PAR
Accountability is the core of the command board. Every firefighter on the incident can be tracked by the information command needs to make decisions, and PAR status stays visible as the incident develops.
PAR activity can be documented as part of the incident timeline, so accountability intervals and results become part of the operational record.
- Configurable PAR timers to help maintain accountability intervals
- PAR status visible from the live command board
- PAR activity documented as part of the incident timeline
Mayday Management
When a MAYDAY occurs, Incident Command provides rapid access to the MAYDAY workflow.
Activating MAYDAY visibly alerts the command board and provides the department's MAYDAY checklist so command personnel can concentrate on managing the emergency.
- Rapid access to the MAYDAY workflow from the command board
- Visible alert on the command board when MAYDAY is activated
- Department MAYDAY checklist available to command personnel
- MAYDAY activity documented in the incident timeline
Preplans & Building Intelligence
Available preplan information can be matched to the incident location, giving command personnel building and site intelligence during the incident.
Interactive maps can identify important operational locations for the incident.
Building Construction
Construction type and building characteristics matched to the incident address.
Occupancy
Occupancy and use information for the involved building.
Access Points
Entry and access details for arriving companies.
Water Supply
Water supply and hydrant information for the location.
Known Hazards
Known hazards and life-safety concerns at the site.
Preplan Documents
Preplan documents attached to the location.
Floor Plans
Floor plans available to command personnel.
Tactical Checklists & Benchmarks
Departments can use built-in or department-customized checklists to help manage the incident.
- Progress tracked from the incident board
- Important actions become part of the incident timeline
Hazmat Information
Hazardous-material information can be associated with the incident and kept connected to the incident record for command personnel.
- UN/NA Numbers
- Material Names
- Placards
- ERG Guide Numbers
- Safety Information
Document the Incident as It Happens
Incident Command captures command activity throughout the incident, creating a more complete operational record that can assist with incident reporting and after-action review.
Scene Photos & Captions
Attach scene photos with captions to the incident record.
Categorized Radio Log
Record radio traffic by category as the incident develops.
Command Actions
Capture command decisions and actions taken during the incident.
Assignment Changes
Document personnel and resource reassignments.
Tactical Benchmarks
Record tactical benchmarks as they are completed.
PAR Activity
Keep PAR checks and results with the incident.
Incident Timeline
Assemble command activity into a timeline of the incident.
From Command Board to Incident Report
Fire Tracker Incident Command helps organize information used for incident documentation and reporting, supporting department documentation and after-action review.
Dumps Straight Into Fire Tracker Reports
When the incident is complete, everything Incident Command captured — incident times, apparatus, personnel, assignments, activity logs, PAR information, hazards, and narrative information — is assembled into an incident packet.
That packet goes straight into the Fire Tracker Reports app, the NERIS V1 compliant reporting module in the suite. No re-typing and no rebuilding the run by hand — the incident lands in reporting already populated and ready for review, correction, and submission.
Command documentation and final incident reporting finally work as one workflow instead of two.
Built for Mutual Aid
Fire Tracker Incident Command supports departments working together during an incident.
An Incident Commander can provide an incident-specific access method for authorized mutual-aid departments. Authorized participating departments can add their apparatus, personnel, and relevant incident activity without receiving access to unrelated department information.
The Fireground Doesn't Always Have a Signal
Incident Command is designed to maintain locally available incident information when connectivity is interrupted and synchronize changes when connectivity becomes available again.
From Dispatch to Command Faster
Supported incoming dispatch information can be used to begin creating the incident automatically.
The dispatch parser can convert supported CAD/dispatch text into structured incident information, reducing manual entry. Compatibility depends on the dispatch system and how it is configured for your department.
Command from the Device That's Already With You
The interface is designed to work across common screen sizes so command personnel can access incident information from the command post, apparatus, station, or a mobile device.
Command Post Laptop
Run the command board from the command post.
Apparatus Tablet
Access incident information from apparatus tablets.
Smartphone
Keep incident information available on a mobile device.
Station Computer
Review incident information from the station.
Incident Command at a Glance
Fire Tracker Incident Command is the fireground management module in the Fire Tracker Systems suite. It gives command officers one live board for personnel, apparatus, assignments, PAR, hazards, preplans, and incident activity.
It is designed to be used the way an incident actually unfolds — from the first-arriving unit through a mutual-aid operation — and to leave behind a documented operational record.
The Problem With Paper Command Boards
Paper command boards, grease pencils, and clipboard accountability lists are hard to keep current under pressure and nearly impossible to reconstruct afterward.
- Personnel accountability tracked on paper that can be lost, smudged, or overwritten
- No shared picture between command, divisions, and groups
- PAR checks that depend on radio traffic and memory
- Preplan and hazard information that is not connected to the incident
- After-action details that have to be rebuilt from memory
