WFTAK is in beta testing with a limited deployment to resources on the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest (WA-OWF). The test pool includes an IHC; Rappel Module; multiple Engines; and smoke jumpers, prevention staff, and dispatchers. Additional Okanogan-Wenatchee resources that wish to participate are encouraged to do so. 

Beta Testing will continue through the summer 2024 fire season through late season Rx burning and into winter/spring 2025 Rx and wildfire seasons. WFTAK rollout nationwide for all Federal resources is slated to begin summer of 2025. Select units will be approached to participate in pre-rollout beta testing.

Beta testers will be asked to evaluate WFTAK user onboarding; operational server structure (channels, automation, backend administration, etc.); necessary feeds; and additional utility beyond the identified use-cases. The beta testers will have the opportunity to offer feedback for needed changes before full the National deployment.

A MS Forms survey is available for beta test personnel to submit feedback. The form and QR code is also available in the Beta Evaluation menu on the homepage. A Survey 123 form is available in the Support Menu on the homepage to report Issues/Bugs with WFTAK.
