About
Built to make apparatus status easier to see
Fill In Board provides a shared visual Board for station fill-ins, mutual aid, exercises, and incident resource coordination.
The problem it addresses
Apparatus status can be difficult to understand when resources move between stations, mutual-aid partners, and incident assignments. Fill In Board gives authorized users one visual place to see the current arrangement and communicate changes.
Who it is for
The service is designed for firefighters, fire officers, dispatch-adjacent administrators, and emergency-response partners who need a straightforward shared apparatus display without learning a general-purpose drawing application.
How the workflow fits together
A private Map provides the visual background. Applying it creates or updates a live Board. Apparatus can then be arranged and saved as the Board's reusable deployment. Each response is opened as an incident, and authorized users can later review its lifecycle in Incident History.

- Operational controls should be understandable without technical drawing knowledge.
- Private Maps should never change a live Board until the owner explicitly applies them.
- Roles and permissions should clearly reflect what each person can operate.
- Errors and connection problems should provide an understandable recovery path.
Built around the full Board lifecycle
Preparation begins with the response Map, apparatus catalog, and standard deployment. During an incident, the Board keeps apparatus placement and status visible. Closing the incident preserves a history that authorized users can review later.
