Consistent documentation starts with a consistent form
Fire departments rely on accurate records - incident reports, training logs, inspection results, personnel information. Paper forms introduce inconsistency: fields skipped, handwriting misread, data lost before transcription.
Doc2Form converts existing department documents into Google Forms. Upload a PDF or Word file up to 5 MB and it detects the structure - text fields, checkboxes, dropdowns - and builds the matching form in your Drive. Personnel complete it on a phone or tablet; responses aggregate automatically in a linked Sheets spreadsheet.
No document? Use describe mode: type a description of what you need to capture and get a working form to review.
Works in the field and at the station
Google Forms works on any device with a browser - no app required. Forms load on a phone in the field or a station computer without setup. Responses submit even on weak connections if the form was previously loaded.
Common questions
Can multiple crew members submit the same form?
Yes. One Google Form link can be used by unlimited respondents. Each submission appears as a separate row in the connected spreadsheet.
Can I require sign-in so responses are tied to a person?
Yes. Google Forms supports requiring Google account sign-in before submission. Each response then shows the respondent's name.
What if our report format changes annually?
Re-upload the updated template. Doc2Form builds a new form in under a minute. You own the old form in Drive - keep it for historical record.
Does it cost anything?
The first form is free, no credit card required. Credit packs are available after that. The project is open source for departments that prefer to self-host.
