What Taskbook does

Every wildland fire qualification lives or dies by a paper booklet. Your Position Task Book rides in a pack through seasons, rolls, and evaluators — and the agencies themselves tell you to keep personal copies, because if the booklet is lost, soaked, or burned, the sign-offs go with it. Taskbook is the offline companion record that makes sure you always know exactly where your quals stand. Pick your position — FFT2, FFT1, ENGB, CRWB, and the rest of the NWCG catalog — and Taskbook loads the full public-domain task list. Check tasks off as evaluators sign them, and record who signed, on which incident, in what trainee assignment, on what date. Photograph the signature page right there on the line with zero signal required: everything is stored on the device and nothing ever needs a network. Open-task visibility is the quiet superpower. A book that crosses three seasons and four incidents becomes impossible to audit from memory; Taskbook shows the exact tasks still unsigned, so you can chase the assignments that close them out. Then there is the red card itself. Your qualification card is only as good as your currency: miss the annual RT-130 refresher window or let the work capacity test lapse and the card dies — often with nobody warning you first. Taskbook keeps countdowns for both, plus any position currency you define, and surfaces everything expiring within 90 days on one dashboard. When a book is complete, generate a clean, dated PDF of the whole record — task by task, evaluator by evaluator — the personal copy the agencies tell you to keep, ready for a new unit, a rehire packet, or an audit years down the road. And when the pack test approaches, the built-in pacing timer splits the 45-minute, 3-mile arduous standard into quarter-mile checkpoints so you know at every marker whether you are on pace. Taskbook is your personal shadow record, not an official system of record — the paper book and agency systems remain the qualification of record. But when you leave an agency, IQCS was never yours to take.
