One Less Thing to Think About on Arrival - Tablet Command at Adams County

In this case study, Charlie Koyle, a lieutenant who also serves as a battalion chief and shift supervisor, shares what incident command looks like for a small, primarily volunteer agency in rural Adams County. With fewer calls each year but significantly higher acuity, crews operate with limited technology, inconsistent radio coverage, and no MDTs. Incident information is often tracked on a whiteboard balanced on a steering wheel, and updates from dispatch can be hard to access or easy to miss. Charlie contrasts that reality with his experience in an urban setting using Tablet Command, where call details, maps, unit status, and dispatcher notes live in one place. He explains how having that same level of visibility in a rural response would remove cognitive load for the arriving incident commander, support accountability during mutual aid, and make already challenging scenes easier to manage. For Charlie, Tablet Command isn’t about adding technology. It’s about having one less thing to think about when it matters most.
