Log into the BART Team App

When first logging into the app, you will need to choose between the ‘Quick View’ or more advanced ‘List View’:

QUICK VIEW

Quick View is a good option for people who are new to BART, as a single incident is displayed in a simple to read format. You can swipe across the screen to view different incidents, or use the arrows provided:

LIST VIEW

The List View is a more advanced way to look at incidents and alerts as they come through. Apart from having a more condensed interface that displays multiple alerts, it has additional options not available on the Quick View.

ALERTS AND MESSAGES

If your brigade, unit or flotilla has an active data feed you should start to receive alerts and messages after a short amount of time. 

Please Note: If you are not receiving any alerts, please see our troubleshooting guide.


Responding to a Broadcast

When you receive a new broadcast message, you can select from 3 simple options:

  • Green Thumbs up - I'm attending
  • Red Thumbs down - I'm not attending
  • Orange - Other
