The Incident Toolbox is a collection of tactics, techniques and procedures that have proven to work in various parts of the country and on various types of incidents. Much of the information is from chapters of the S-520 Fireline Handbook. Additional information is posted in the relevant topic areas.
 
Please help this toolbox collection to grow. There is some great information here already but a lot more is still out there, isolated and only known to a few people. Often someone has already "invented that wheel" but people working on the same issues 50 miles away do not know about it.
 
You may know about documents, templates, guides, useful tools, effective practices that are well tested, maybe even well-documented. Many people you know have generated some great solutions to common problems. We would like to hear about them. Please submit them to the Center Library with a short description of why you feel that it could be useful to others. Please identify what part of the Incident Toolbox you think it would fit the best.
 
The LLC has Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) validate the information before we post it. That way you know that these are not just "mud tossed against a wall to see what sticks." This goes for you too. If you see something here that does not work in your world, let us know so that we can take another look at it, maybe get it qualified for "here, but not there."
