INCIDENT COMMAND BOARD (iPad and desktop) A digital NIMS/ICS hazmat tactical worksheet modeled on FIRESCOPE.

• Active-incident timer with status transitions • Strategic Mode picker with breach detection if non-intervention is declared while a hot-zone crew is committed • Objective Priorities tracking in standard NIMS order • Full Command Staff roster • Department roster — preload personnel on this device via bulk paste or CSV / Excel import with column-mapping. IC taps a name onto a zone instead of typing during an incident • Five PPE selections — Levels A–D (EPA hazmat) plus Rescue Mode (turnout + SCBA for life rescue) with a "RESCUE IN PROGRESS" overlay • Hot Zone — entry + two backup teams, per-member SCBA tracking (60/45/30/20-min) with turnaround and over-time math • Warm Zone — decon level, corridor status, decon team, separate decon air limit • Cold Zone — staging area and mutual-aid agency tracking • Rehab tracking — send, clear, return to duty • PAR cycle with configurable interval, due / overdue alarms, one-tap acknowledge • One-tap HazMat benchmarks — Recon Complete, Product Identified, Isolation Established, Entry Made, Leak Controlled, Decon Operational, All Clear — timestamped to the log • Scene material linkage — drop a chemical onto the incident; TIH banner and isolation distances pull in automatically • Timestamped Activity Log with notes for after-action review • Archived incident history with PDF / JSON / CSV export — every reset incident is preserved on this device for exposure records and after-action review. Persists across app data updates.

DATA SOURCES All data sourced from U.S. government and public-domain references: • ERG 2024 (PHMSA / DOT) — materials, response guides, isolation distances, Tables 1 and 3 • NIOSH Pocket Guide (CDC / NIOSH) — IDLH exposure values • 49 CFR (DOT) — hazard class and division definitions • PubChem (NIH / NLM) — physical properties and CAS numbers • OSHA HCS 29 CFR 1910.1200 App. C and UN GHS Rev. 9 Annex 3 — verbatim GHS hazard text

NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR TRAINING FireHazmat is a reference tool. It does not replace formal hazmat training or consultation with on-scene IC, CHEMTREC, or your AHJ. Always verify recommendations against current ERG documentation and on-scene monitoring.
