Field notes
The board combines unit status and freeform notes with staff, expirations, hydrant outages, weather, tides, and flag status. Wall displays pair through a one-time code; phone edits are said to reach all screens within 30 seconds, while touchscreen edits can require a PIN and are attributed to a named user. The demo uses a fictional department and clears changes after six hours; the maker says the product originated in, and remains in use at, one firehouse.
