Setting up on-truck SCBA checks

Assign SCBA to vehicles (or stations) to get inspected.

 

Summary

SCBA truck checks are tied to specific unit positions, allowing users to log which pack and cylinder are present during inspections. This approach keeps gear assignments current in real time without requiring administrator updates. These checklists can be easily customized, copied, or built from scratch.

Instructions

Users log SCBA gear during vehicle checks by selecting the assigned gear for their position. Administrators can manage SCBA checklist structure through the vehicle's checklist editor. Positions and gear slots are customizable, making it easy to adapt as gear is reassigned or taken out of service.

Setting Up SCBA Truck Checks

  1. Go to the unit’s checklist by clicking Actions → Edit Checklists from the vehicle page.

  2. Scroll to the bottom to locate or create a section for SCBA checks.

  3. Each SCBA slot—like Captain, Engineer, Firefighter 1, RIT, etc.—is built as a task group within the SCBA section.

  4. To add a new position, click the dropdown arrow next to the SCBA section and select Add Task Group.

  5. Name the new group (e.g., Firefighter 3) and click Add Task to create tasks for that slot.

  6. Be general when naming tasks (e.g., “Pack” or “Cylinder”) so users can select the correct gear during their checks.

  7. Be sure to:

    • Mark the item as an SCBA check

    • Map it to the correct gear type and event

  8. Click Save and Activate the task so it appears in the user’s checklist.

Managing SCBA Checklist Layout

  1. To reorder task groups, drag and drop them into the desired position (e.g., move Firefighter 3 below Firefighter 2).

  2. Click Done to finalize your changes.

Copying SCBA Checklists

  1. To save time, you can copy the full SCBA checklist or specific task groups to another unit.

  2. Click the dropdown arrow next to a task group or the full checklist and select:

    • Copy Task Group to Another Unit, or

    • Copy Checklist to Another Unit

This avoids rebuilding the entire structure from scratch.
