NOTE: There are no known calculation errors in this version. We will immediately fix any problems reported to us directly.
Wildland Toolkit is not a tutorial on wildland fire behavior, so if the terms above do not make any sense, then this application will not teach you. It is assumed that you know the same background information that is presented in an S290 or S390 class. The calculations done in the Wildland Toolkit are similar to what is done with the BEHAVE software, but you will find the user interface much easier to use.
--In addition, numerous safety checklists and reference guides are included, such as watchouts, fire orders, safety zones, watchouts, structure defense, sizeups, crew briefing, after action reviews, LCANS, and complexity analysis etc.
--Photos and diagrams are provided for cloud types, hand signals, common wildland tools, firefighting aircraft, and ICS org charts.
--Interactive practice quizzes are included for basic wildland fire, CPR, NIMS IS-700, S230 and S290.
--ICS reference guide with position descriptions, an index of forms, and incident typing
--Pack Test Timer guides you through your pack test and tells you your current pace and expected finish time ***
--Cool Slope Calculator uses your phone to tell you slope
--And if that's not all, the IRPG is provided in PDF form
*** Pack Test timer uses GPS. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. GPS is not used if the Pack Test is stopped.

Awesome

I have used this app for several years 1:Great for expanding knowledge 2:Great for keeping knowledge 3:Great for rainy days 4:Great for quizzing and training Rookies, experienced Crew members 5: Easily identifying resources, fuel types, weather patterns 6: Refreshing during Preseason 7: I always recommend this app to anyone with an iPhone above all others( but wish my android guys could have it too) 8: Irpg backup All in all, very useful, accurate app, hope to see expansions (task books, more class quizzes, 10 and 18 quiz (for memorizing), Pump/Saw troubleshooting, Hose lay calculations)etc. If this app keeps growing, could be no.1 app for fire guys, keep it up and thank you! -Jason Pendleton(Ict5,FFt1)
Great App

It’s great to have a consolidated grouping of all the forms that I need, but the price is a little high in my opinion.
Errors in FDFM

Absolutely the Best

JOHN has been writing apps all the way back to the palm pilot days. This one is his flagship now for iOS. You won't find a better app if it's type on any platform.

Good product, I was hoping for information like the app for the palm though. I hope to see more updates for this app.
A solid product

This program is very useful for quick calculations in the field. I use it to spot check some of the other software programs I use for fire behavior modeling. The most important thing is that its accurate and mobile. I look forward to subsequent releases with more improvements. One recommendation would be to link the GPS function so it gets the altitude and lat, long and puts it in automatically.
Easy to use

Finally it's easy to do those fire behavior calculations. No more nomograms. I may actually make use of that stuff now.
Awesome!

Great app saves time and you can get rid of all the charts in the weather kit! Makes figuring pig and fdfm a snap. Would like to see the old fuel models included.
