FiregroundOS is a real-time tactical worksheet for the IC — unit tracking, PAR accountability, MAYDAY workflow, and AI-assisted radio logging. Runs in the browser on any tablet. No install, no special hardware.
Whiteboards and paper don't update in real time. ICS demands tracking every unit, assignment, and crew member simultaneously — under pressure, on radio.
Nothing flags a crew that's been inside 25 minutes. Memory is the accountability system at most departments, and memory fails under stress.
When accountability breaks down, people get hurt. The after-action report shouldn't be the first time you see the full picture of your incident.
Designed for gloved hands on an iPad at 2 AM — every feature earns its place on the screen.
Drag-and-drop unit assignment across divisions, groups, and sectors — Alpha through Delta, roof to basement. Crew detail down to officer, driver, and backstep by radio ID.
Automatic PAR countdown with 20-minute alerts that escalate until acknowledged. Floor-by-floor accountability for multi-story incidents. Every check logged with a timestamp.
One-tap MAYDAY activation with a guided RIT deployment workflow. SCBA bottle tracking (B1/B2) with rehab prompts so air management never lives in someone's head.
Speak radio traffic as it comes in — AI parses units, status changes, and assignments into a structured, timestamped log automatically. The board stays current without a scribe.
Full incident PDF export for after-action reports — assignments, PAR history, radio log, photos, appliance details, and incident contacts. NFIRS-ready narrative in seconds, not hours.
Purpose-built panels beyond the structure fire: MVA with patient log and hospital routing, MCI sectors with triage tracking, HazMat zones with chemical reference, and MedFlight landing zones with GPS.
Tap New Incident, confirm the address and alarm level. The tactical board is live before you arrive on scene — on the iPad already mounted in your buggy.
Tap the mic and speak radio traffic as it comes in. AI parses units, status, and assignments automatically. Drag units between divisions as the incident evolves.
PAR checks run themselves on a 20-minute clock. When it's over, export the complete incident record — assignments, log, photos — as a PDF.
FiregroundOS runs on the tablets and laptops your department already owns. We're offering free pilots to a limited number of departments.
FiregroundOS wasn't designed in a conference room. It was built by a working firefighter who ran incidents with a whiteboard and grease pencil and knew there had to be something better — then tested every screen on real calls. It's in active use at Waltham Fire Department, MA today.
Schedule a live demo with your department, or start a free 90-day pilot. We'll be in touch within 24 hours.
