Defensive House Fire, Sedalia, CO 2/20/14

Always impressed by the Colorado stuff.  Especially enjoy the insight to the operational side of things.  The Incident Dispatcher is a great concept from my limited understanding.  We're about twenty years behind something like that here in our county.  At least our department is putting tablets in the rigs in the next few weeks, so we'll have mapping, preplans, hydrants, etc. at our fingertips.  Great posts!

 

Thanks!  The IDT concept is still fairly new here and only a handful of agencies have created one.  There is a huge benefit to having IDT on the initial response especially for our wildland interface fires.  Congrats on getting the tablets with pre-plans!  Safety and planning wise I don't know what we would do without that information.
