Apparatus & Crew
Every fire apparatus in the fleet has its own record: assigned crew, current status, and an equipment checklist. Crews run through the checklist at the start of a shift, and any flagged issue is logged to a board admins and station officers can review — no more finding out a rig is missing gear mid-call.
Apparatus status (available, responding, on scene, out of service) drives what dispatch sees on the call board, the same way unit duty status does for LEO.
ePCR
The electronic Patient Care Report captures a full incident record per patient:
- Vitals over time (multiple recordings per call)
- Medications and treatments administered
- Narrative and disposition (transported, refused care, etc.)
Reports are scoped per patient within a call, so a single incident with multiple patients keeps each one's record separate.
Narcotics
Controlled substances carried by EMS units are tracked in narcotics kits. Administering a dose requires logging it against the kit — who administered it, to which patient, and how much — so the chain of custody stays intact from kit assignment through use.
Narcotics administration logs are part of the audit trail and can't be edited after the fact — only appended to with a correction entry.
