1. A method of generating virtual building plan data for active incident management, the method comprising:

  • using a processor coupled to a communication interface toreceive a request from a user for virtual building plan data, the request being indicative of an active incident at a target building,after and within a threshold time of receiving the requestcooperate with the communication interface to obtain stored building data for the target building from a remote stored data source,cooperate with a building scanning system located outside of the target building to obtain scanned building data, the scanned building data being obtained after receiving the request for virtual building plan data and including a first plurality of points on the exterior of the target building without a second plurality of points of the entire exterior of the target building that are possible to scan, the first plurality of points being a subset of the second plurality of points that is sufficient to spatially relate an interior floor plan of a virtual building plan to the target building,generate the virtual building plan data based upon the stored building data and the scanned building data based upon the request from the user,spatially relate the target building to the virtual building plan data based on the first plurality of points on the exterior of the target building in the scanned building data scanned from outside the target building relating to corresponding points on the virtual building plan, wherein the first plurality of points on the target building are linked to a plurality of respective GPS points of the exterior of the target building, interior points in the virtual building plan data are related to GPS points of the interior of the target building, and the interior points of the target building are related to the interior floor plan of a virtual building, anddrive at least one display associated with the user based upon the virtual building plan data to display the interior floorplan of the virtual building that is related spatially to the target building so that the virtual building plan data is available to manage the active incident.
