A Better Command Board — Built for the Fire Service
Digital Tactical Worksheets (DTW) replaces paper tactical worksheets and whiteboards with a live, interactive command board for real-time strategy, resource tracking, and situational awareness.
- No installation
- No logins
- Works on iPad & tablets
- Save & load incident layouts
Designed for Command Officers
DTW is built for Incident Commanders, Battalion Chiefs, Training Chiefs, Safety Officers, and command staff supporting complex incidents. It supports clarity and organization under stress — without adding friction.
Paper and Whiteboards Don’t Scale
Paper worksheets and whiteboards are hard to update in real time, difficult to share or save, and poorly suited for tablets. DTW keeps pace with the incident while remaining simple to operate.
A Live, Interactive Command Board
DTW runs in a browser with no installation and no accounts to manage. Use it on scene, in training, or in planning sessions — and save layouts for repeatable scenarios and after-action review.
Built for How Command Actually Works
DTW is intentionally simple, fast to learn, and flexible for both operations and training. It complements CAD and dispatch systems by improving the command-level picture.
Unit Tiles
Drag-and-drop tiles for accountability and resource tracking with department-specific naming.
Multiple Tabs
Separate boards for staging, RIT/safety, planning, accountability, and training scenarios.
Notes Log
Notes tied directly to resources, with a central log for clarity and continuity.
Markup Tools
Draw, erase, and mark key points on preplans, maps, and diagrams.
Background Images
Use floor plans, aerials, maps, and custom worksheets as the incident background.
Save / Load
Save complete incident layouts (JSON) for continuing incidents, training, and AAR.
Used Across Operations and Training
DTW is effective in both live operations and training environments, especially where repeatable scenarios and consistent command practices matter.
- ✓ Structure fires
- ✓ Mass Casualty Incidents (MCIs)
- ✓ High-rise operations
- ✓ Wildland / brush incidents
- ✓ Tabletop exercises & simulations
- ✓ After-action review (AAR)
What DTW Is — and Isn’t
DTW is designed to support command decisions and improve clarity. It is not a replacement for CAD, dispatch, or department policy.
DTW Helps You
Track resources visually, record notes tied to units, manage benchmarks, and maintain a cleaner operational picture across multiple boards.
DTW Does Not Replace
CAD, dispatch workflows, or policy-based decision-making. DTW complements existing systems and supports command-level organization.
Simple Department-Wide Licensing
DTW is licensed per department (not per user) to keep administration simple and predictable.
Department License
Unlimited users and devices under one annual license.
Department Fit
Custom unit naming conventions and preset units to match your operations.
