• 62 ERG response guides
• ERG 2024 Table 1 protective action distances (272 materials) and Table 3 large-spill PADs
• Live evacuation map — Isolation and Protective Action Zones from GPS, wind-aware downwind plume, live weather, Day / Night PAD toggle auto-set by sunrise / sunset
• Visual placard identification grid for all 9 DOT hazard classes
• Unknown-substance wizard — 11-step field triage returning PPE level, hazard class candidates, and field instruments
• Per-chemical chemistry from NIOSH and PubChem — IDLH, flash point, boiling point, autoignition, vapor density, flammable range — alongside verbatim OSHA HCS and UN GHS hazard text, with critical hazards flagged red
• CHEMTREC and National Response Center one-tap dial

INCIDENT COMMAND BOARD (iPad and desktop)
A digital NIMS/ICS hazmat tactical worksheet modeled on FIRESCOPE.

• Active-incident timer with status transitions
• Strategic Mode picker with breach detection if non-intervention is declared while a hot-zone crew is committed
• Objective Priorities tracking in standard NIMS order
• Full Command Staff roster
• Department roster — preload personnel on this device via bulk paste or CSV / Excel import with column-mapping. IC taps a name onto a zone instead of typing during an incident
• Five PPE selections — Levels A–D (EPA hazmat) plus Rescue Mode (turnout + SCBA for life rescue) with a "RESCUE IN PROGRESS" overlay
• Hot Zone — entry + two backup teams, per-member SCBA tracking (60/45/30/20-min) with turnaround and over-time math
• Warm Zone — decon level, corridor status, decon team, separate decon air limit
• Cold Zone — staging area and mutual-aid agency tracking
• Rehab tracking — send, clear, return to duty
• PAR cycle with configurable interval, due / overdue alarms, one-tap acknowledge
• One-tap HazMat benchmarks — Recon Complete, Product Identified, Isolation Established, Entry Made, Leak Controlled, Decon Operational, All Clear — timestamped to the log
• Scene material linkage — drop a chemical onto the incident; TIH banner and isolation distances pull in automatically
• Timestamped Activity Log with notes for after-action review
• Archived incident history with PDF / JSON / CSV export — every reset incident is preserved on this device for exposure records and after-action review. Persists across app data updates.

DATA SOURCES
All data sourced from U.S. government and public-domain references:
• ERG 2024 (PHMSA / DOT) — materials, response guides, isolation distances, Tables 1 and 3
• NIOSH Pocket Guide (CDC / NIOSH) — IDLH exposure values
• 49 CFR (DOT) — hazard class and division definitions
• PubChem (NIH / NLM) — physical properties and CAS numbers
• OSHA HCS 29 CFR 1910.1200 App. C and UN GHS Rev. 9 Annex 3 — verbatim GHS hazard text

NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR TRAINING
FireHazmat is a reference tool. It does not replace formal hazmat training or consultation with on-scene IC, CHEMTREC, or your AHJ. Always verify recommendations against current ERG documentation and on-scene monitoring.

PRIVACY
No account, no ads, no analytics. On the Map, coordinates fetch live weather (Open-Meteo) and an address label (OpenStreetMap) — no identity attached. Policy: https://firehazmat.openscaffoldlabs.com/privacy.
