   2. Version 2
      1. Accountability (about resources and personnel, up-to-date and accurate info)
         1. what firefighters and equipment are on scene
         2. where they are
         3. what are they doing
         4. whether or not they are safe
         5. PROBLEMS
            1. update manually
      2. Assessment (multiple sources of info the key is to avoid info overload)
         1. status of fire
         2. progress of different companies
         3. condition of the building
         4. location of victims

            1. over radio or face-to-face
            2. PROBLEMS
            3. radio on scene is noisy
            4. congestion in radio (many speaks at the same time)
         10. PROBLEMS
             1. the info may be outdated
             2. info is often difficult to quickly access
             3. firefighters may not have access to the right info
      3. Resource allocation (primary task for ICs primary focus in design)
      4. Communication (needs redundancy)
      5. Execution (firefighters accomplish assigned tasks)
