Claim One:
1. Apparatus for improving an ad hoc temporary incident area network by adding recording capability, said network including a number of modules coupled to respective transceivers for establishing interoperability between the transceivers by converting signals from the transceiver to a common frequency and a common format, comprising: a recorder within each of said modules for recording data obtained at each of said modules; means at each module for uploading recorded data over the temporary incident area network to at least one node on said network; and, storage at said node operably connected to said network for storing all the data transmitted over said network, thus to provide a complete stored history of the incident for which the temporary incident area network is established, thereby to provide redundancy for the recording performed at each of said modules and permitting readout of said recorded data for enhancing incident response.
