InciNotes™ The First #ICS 201 Documentation System for Apple's iPad (#Incident Organizer) is a great tool for documenting your #RX Burn projects.

InciNotes™ is a great tool for #prescribed fire documentation and Event Planning. InciNotes™ can be used by the #Weather Observer to take weather readings 48 hours in advance of the burn. The #Weather Observer can send weather reports directly through InciNotes to #National Weather Service to get a spot weather forecast for the burn. 

The #Prescribe Fire Manager can track all the resources; create a plan and contingency for the burn in InciNotes. During prescribed fire firing operations InciNotes™ can be used to track weather trends and document events in the ICS 214 feature in InciNotes.

The Map for the prescribe fire can be inputted in to InciNotes. Any hazards related to the prescribed fire can be documented in InciNotes with the appropriate #risk mitigation actions to alleviate the risk.

The Command structure for you’re your prescribe fire can be inputted using InciNotes™ custom feature in the Command Structure for creating custom positions. All your frequencies for your prescribe fire can be preloaded and preset into InciNotes™ Frequencies feature.

As the release date nears for InciNotes™ The First #ICS 201 Incident Command System for Apple's iPad I can say I am living my dream. The creation of InciNotes™ came out of the ashes of the #Station Fire. The Firefighters actions on the Initial Attack August 26, 2009 were in question. “Having to answer to the Government Accountability Office and Congress was no fun for many of us. I can tell you that your best friend is your documentation” quote from Will Spyrison Co Founder of InciNotes™.

The #Firefighters on August 26 & 27, 2009 on the Station Fire acted in a professional manner and they should be proud of their efforts to contain the Station fire at 15 acres. 

InciNotes™ is designed to provide the #Incident Commander and Emergency Responders with all the tools to document every aspect of #incident management from Leaders intent to all aspects of incident safety.  Its vital when something goes wrong or perceived to have gone wrong to have the best documentation possible.

InciNotes #ICS Documentation System for iPad is a great way to document all your actions on the #fireline.
