The complexity of emergency response continues to grow. Multi-alarm fires, large-scale incidents, and regional mutual aid require coordination that goes beyond maps, whiteboards, or memory. Tablet Command was created to meet this need by giving every responder real-time access to the same critical information.

On the fireground, a whiteboard has long been a trusted tool. Commanders sketch divisions, write assignments, and track accountability. It works, but it has limits. A marker and board can only capture so much, and the information stays at the tailboard.

The Challenge of Commanding with Limited Tools

Public safety agencies operate in complex environments where split-second decisions and sensitive information go hand in hand. Whether responding to structure fires, large-scale incidents, or daily emergencies, the tools responders use must be fast, reliable, and secure.
