Tools, Tips & Tricks of the Trade: When your incident starts expanding...start thinking of us.
Below are a series of forms you mind particularly helpful. Keep in mind that what works for you...works for you and our suggestions are merely that. Also, remember Accam's Razor that the simplest solution is probably correct.
There are a variety of other forms available out there that have been "customized" to fit specific niche needs like HAZMAT, wildland fires or other hazards. Some of our partners find the Excel Workbook IAP versions particularly useful. We've included a few of those below as well.
