Nothing you type on this screen will be kept, so do not run a scene on it — write the log on paper for now. Check your signal and open this page again. If this message stays, tell a director. The PRF, Medicines, Stock, IR and OIR are not affected.

Open an incident
This starts the running log. Everything after this is time-stamped and cannot be unwritten, so open it as soon as you are committed — not once things have calmed down.
The incident
A name everyone on the radio will recognise. The street, the building, the farm. Leave it and we will name it from the location.
Command
At a multi-agency scene the Incident Commander is often not one of ours. Record who is actually running the scene, not who we wish were.
Only crew recorded as ICS-qualified appear here.
Running log
Every entry carries the time it happened, the time it was written (this device's clock), the time the register received it (the register's own clock), and who wrote it. An entry can never be edited or deleted. A wrong entry is corrected by writing another one. Every correction is a new entry that refers back to the original, and the original always stays visible.
Command
Incident Commander, Safety Officer and sector commanders. Every change here is written into the running log automatically, with the time.
Incident Commander
Safety Officer
The one person whose job is to stop the job. Name someone, even on a small scene.
Sectors
A sector is a piece of the scene with one person answerable for it. Give it a name anybody on the radio will understand.
| Sector | Commander | From |

Rehabilitation
Every member who comes out of the heat, out of a set, or who asks to be checked. Observations twice — when they arrive and before they go back. If anything worries you, tick the box: it raises a real PRF and names the ILS taking over.

Outcome
Tell command
This application cannot send anybody a message. What it can do is refuse to let the concern disappear until a person says out loud who was told and when. That is the record that matters afterwards.
Situation
The standing picture of the incident, as it is now. This is the one part of the record that is meant to be kept up to date rather than added to — and every time you save it, what changed goes into the log.
Close the incident
If it reopens, open a new incident and reference this number in the first entry. A closed log stays closed.
Sources & attribution
This module borrows from other people's work. This page says whose, what we took, and on what footing. It is here so that anybody — a crew member, an auditor, a court — can see it without asking.
Incident Command System
The structure of the incident record and the running log follows the Incident Command System forms published by the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency as part of the National Incident Management System: ICS 201 (Incident Briefing) and ICS 214 (Activity Log). The FEMA ICS forms and their instructions are US federal government publications and are freely available. We have followed their structure and their discipline; the wording on these screens is our own.
Guardian Rescue is not endorsed by, affiliated with, or acting for FEMA or the United States government.
Firefighter rehabilitation
The rehabilitation section is informed by NFPA 1584, Standard on the Rehabilitation Process for Members During Emergency Operations and Training Exercises, published by the National Fire Protection Association. NFPA standards are copyrighted and no part of NFPA 1584 is reproduced here. We record the observations the standard identifies — temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure and pulse oximetry. The criteria for releasing a member back to duty are set by Guardian Rescue's own medical direction, not by this application, and are shown on the rehabilitation screen itself.
Hazardous materials
Any hazardous materials reference in this module is drawn from the 2024 Emergency Response Guidebook, produced jointly by the United States Department of Transportation (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration), Transport Canada and the Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation of Mexico.
What this app reproduces: the Dangerous goods — ERG 2024 guide in this app (opened from the orange button) reproduces content of the 2024 Emergency Response Guidebook — the index of materials by UN number and by name, the orange response guides, the table of initial isolation and protective action distances, and related tables — so that it can be used with no signal. Each entry shows the guidebook page it came from. It is not sold, and the agencies named above do not endorse it. Where anything looks wrong, the official guidebook is the authority.
Permission: Guardian Rescue wrote to the Emergency Response Guidebook Programme at PHMSA on 19 September 2026 asking for permission to reproduce ERG content inside this application, undertaking that it will not be altered, will not be charged for, and will be withdrawn on request. No reply had been received when this page was last updated.
The guidebook is a reference for the first thirty minutes. It is not a substitute for a hazardous materials officer, CHEMTREC, or the shipper's own emergency number.
Mapping and location
Street addresses looked up from co-ordinates come from Nominatim, using data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence. The co-ordinates themselves are what we record; a looked-up street name is a convenience and can be wrong.
What is ours
The application, its wording, its layout, the register structure and the clinical forms are Guardian Rescue Volunteer Services NPC's own work. The records it holds belong to Guardian Rescue and, where they concern a person, to that person under the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013.
