The Fire Board — Lead from Command
Manage the incident — don’t let the incident manage you. The Fire Board is the leadership lens on the IDLH Tactical Worksheet® — a command board aligned with ICS/NIMS that integrates incident checklists to help ensure nothing is missed—without replacing experience.
Leadership, Accountability, and Clarity
Translate command intent into coordinated action — keeping divisions, benchmarks, and PAR/CAN cadence visible under ICS.
Intent → Action
Objective-based assignments that scale with the incident.
Accountability at a Glance
PAR and CAN prompts, clearly labeled benchmark/time fields, and unit status support quick, manual logging under stress.
Built for High-Risk, Low-Frequency
Focused checklists for Structure, Mayday, Brush/WUI, MCI, HazMat, ARFF, Dive, and Tech Rescue.
Why Checklists Matter on the Fireground
Checklists don’t replace experience — they support it. The IDLH Tactical Worksheet® integrates concise prompts at the decision points that challenge commanders.
- Mayday cadence: declare/control comms, assign RIT, track air/time manually.
- Consistency: the same disciplined framework across all incident types.
- Better reviews: legible notes and manually recorded time marks improve AARs and training.
