Fire Operations Dashboard

Public data sources, one dashboard.

Storm Deck aggregates fire detection feeds, weather data, GPS tracking, lightning strike data, and incident logging tools into a single situational awareness dashboard for rural property owners, land stewards, and small fire teams.

Features
— What's Included —

Fire Intelligence

  • Satellite hotspots — federal heat-detection data, confidence-coded (data may be delayed several hours from satellite overpass)
  • Active fire perimeters — federal fire-boundary data, typically updated 1–2x daily by field GIS teams
  • Dispatch feed — fire-related incidents from regional dispatch with IC, acres, resources
  • Historical fire perimeters — rewind 1–20 years with an adjustable slider
  • Fire danger estimate — a simplified indicator based on wind + humidity (not a substitute for official fire weather forecasts)
  • Red flag warnings — federal weather-service alert data overlaid on your area

Weather & Radar

  • Current conditions — from your on-site weather station or regional forecast data
  • Animated precipitation radar — recent loop with play/pause, scrub timeline, speed control
  • Wind particle overlay — animated wind flow colored by speed, with opacity slider
  • Lightning tiles — live strike overlay refreshed continuously
  • Dry thunderstorm outlook — SPC dry-lightning risk zones displayed on the map
  • Thunderstorm outlook — Day 1 + Day 2 categorical convective outlook (TSTM, Marginal, Slight, Enhanced, Moderate, High) showing where storms are forecast
  • High-resolution radar — national radar network coverage
  • Humidity, temperature, wind gust maps — tiled forecast layers
  • Forecast layers — 1–7 day forecast radar and wind

Lightning Operations

  • CG strike data — cloud-to-ground strikes across Oregon, refreshed continuously
  • Auto serial numbers — storm + strike IDs so crews can reference them on the radio
  • Status workflow — unconfirmed → clear / fire-burning / fire-out / fire-mopped
  • Age-coded colors — strikes fade and clear from the map as they age
  • Critical-zone retention — strikes inside your critical zone stay visible indefinitely
  • OnX Maps GPX export — sync strikes to your field app with one click
  • Zone-based notifications — first strike in your zone triggers a push notification

GPS & Unit Tracking

  • GPS tracker integration — live positions for your water trucks, tenders, engines, command vehicles
  • Unit status — Available / En-Route / On-Scene / Out-of-Service with color coding
  • Battery trend charts — 24-hour battery % per device
  • Distance & bearing — real-time to any incident origin or waypoint
  • Stale warnings — flags units that haven't reported recently
  • Assignment tracking — see which units are committed to which incidents

Aircraft Tracking (ADS-B)

  • ADS-B aircraft data — 150nm radius, altitude-colored icons (coverage depends on receiver network)
  • Type-specific icons — helicopters, drones, light aircraft, jets rendered differently
  • Watch list — pin specific aircraft, record flight trails for 3 hours
  • Smooth flight trails — interpolated curves between samples for clean flight paths
  • Adjustable refresh rate — speed up polling when the situation is hot
  • Favorites + nicknames — save your local tanker or helitack bird
  • Aircraft details — callsign, reg, altitude, speed, squawk, emergency status

Incident Management

  • Create & track incidents — name, origin, cause, timeline from ignition to containment
  • Operational log — timestamped entries, editable, auto-resort, one-click "log current weather"
  • PDF export — downloadable incident summary including timeline, units, personnel, radio channels
  • Auto-archive — closed incidents saved to JSON for historical review
  • Reopen incidents — if containment fails, one click to resume operations
  • Per-incident weather source — point each incident at a different weather station

Team Coordination

  • Personnel roster — name, role, phone, deployment status per incident
  • Deployment tracking — Unavailable / Deployed / On-Scene / Recalled / Off-Duty
  • Radio channel board — Command, Ground Ops, Air-Ground, Local assignments
  • Field requests — supply/resource requests with priority and delivery pipeline
  • Request lifecycle — Submitted → Acknowledged → En-Route → Delivered
  • Online presence — see who's actively on the dashboard right now

Locations & Waypoints

  • Categorized locations — water sources, fuel depots, helipads, fire camps, gates, hazards
  • Property-wide + incident-specific — reusable global waypoints plus per-incident markers
  • GPX import — pull waypoints straight from OnX Maps or any GPS app
  • Weather per location — each waypoint can show conditions from its own station
  • Drop pin anywhere — click the map, label it, save it as a waypoint
  • Bearing & distance — navigate from current GPS to any waypoint

Notifications

  • Configurable zones — set your Warning and Critical radius in miles
  • Hotspot notifications — satellite detections inside your zone
  • Lightning notifications — first strike per zone, 3-hour cooldown
  • Outlook notifications — dry lightning or thunderstorm outlook polygons entering your zones
  • Dispatch notifications — fire-related dispatch data near your property
  • Evacuation data — evacuation zone changes from Oregon OEM
  • Mobile and team channels — push to your phone, a shared team channel, or both
  • Quiet-hours bypass — configurable override for high-priority data

Mapping & Overlays

  • Three base maps — satellite, street, and topographic terrain
  • Parcel boundaries — upload your GeoJSON or pull from county GIS; shows owner on click
  • Evacuation zones — Level 1/2/3 polygons, color-coded
  • Power outages — live utility outage count in your service area
  • Transmission lines — color-coded by voltage (345kV red → 69kV green)
  • Wildfire cameras — public-camera-network links on the map
  • Air quality (AQI) — nearby monitoring stations with persistent nearest-station badge
  • Full-screen field mode — optimized for phones and gloved hands

Admin & Security

  • Multi-property support — each property is a separate workspace with its own incidents, zones, and users
  • Role-based access — admin and user permissions with distinct capabilities
  • PIN-based login — short numeric PINs optimized for gloved hands in the field
  • Automatic backups — your data backed up on a regular rolling schedule
  • Rate-limited logins — protection against credential-stuffing and brute-force attempts
  • HTTPS everywhere — TLS encryption for all traffic
