Get on Board!

摘要

As a captain, I generally used my fingers and toes to keep track of the units I was commanding on incidents. It was a pretty easy gig—set up the incident command system (ICS) and manage five or six units and their activities until the battalion chief (BC) arrived. Once he arrived on scene, he'd slide out the glass-covered command board from the back of his rig, and I'd return to the fun (and sweat!) of firefighting. I recently promoted to BC, meaning I'm now the person who. tracks everyone for the entire incident— there's no one to pass the buck to anymore.
