About Fire Front Incident Command

Your Digital Fire Command Center

Fire Front Incident Command is like having a high-tech command center in your pocket. It helps fire departments track wildfires, coordinate crews, and share critical information in real-time - whether you're at the station or in the field. Think of it as Google Maps meets emergency wildfire and structure fire dispatch, specifically designed for firefighting operations.
