Smokey Ledger, the Pocket Fire Calendar
A proposed shift-tracking app for wildland-fire crews that turns paper calendars, CTRs, and paycheck records into an exportable digital log.
Field notes
The proposed record starts with recurring worker and assignment details, then focuses each daily entry on changing information such as hours, incident codes, overtime, and hazard-pay conditions. The page names several records that can be lost or become inaccessible after a season, including CTRs and Paycheck 8 data, and describes attaching images or PDFs to individual days. CSV and PDF export are presented for reconciliation, pay inquiries, supervisor review, or tax records.
