About IDLH Tactical Worksheets®
Manage the incident — don’t let the incident manage you. The IDLH Tactical Worksheet® system is trusted nationwide for bringing clarity, structure, and accountability to the fireground. Built around integrated incident checklists, every board helps Incident Commanders maintain focus and ensure nothing is missed during high-pressure operations.
The Foundation of Command
At its core, the IDLH Tactical Worksheet® is more than a board — it’s a system for decision support. Each worksheet combines proven ICS/NIMS workflows with real-world fire service experience to guide command through the critical steps of size-up, assignments, benchmarks, and accountability.
The Power of Integrated Checklists
Integrated incident checklists are what define the IDLH Tactical Worksheet®. These are not add-ons — they are built into the command process itself, helping leaders stay organized while preserving judgment and experience. Each checklist provides calm, consistent prompts for the moments when it matters most.
- Structure Fire: From initial size-up to benchmarks like “Water on the Fire” and “All Clear,” each step reinforces accountability.
- Mayday: Clear, repeatable prompts for declaring, assigning RIT, tracking air and time, and maintaining communications.
- HazMat, MCI, ARFF, Dive, Tech Rescue, Brush/WUI: Specialized checklists for each operational environment — built into the same disciplined framework.
Built for Command, Training, and Beyond
Whether it’s the full-size Command Board used by chiefs and incident commanders, the JR Collection designed for mobile supervisors, or the Training and Value Series that help build consistent habits across departments, each product in the IDLH network shares one goal — to help command stay clear, calm, and consistent.
