Study Notes
Fire Scene Initial Actions
- The first arriving unit must assess the situation for fire or smoke, prioritizing life safety and establishing a quick operational plan.
- Immediate action may involve initiating command, providing a scene size-up report, and implementing necessary emergency actions.
Accountability Location
- Establish an accountability location in proximity to the scene, ideally at the command post, to ensure all personnel are tracked and managed effectively throughout the incident.
Incident Command Mode
- Declare the appropriate mode of operation based on fire extent, life hazards present, building construction features, and occupancy characteristics.
- Modes include Investigative, Offensive, or Defensive, tailored to the situation.
Personnel Management
- Develop resource allocation and tactical strategies based on personnel available and those arriving on-scene, ensuring maximum efficiency and safety.
Incident Management System
- The Incident Commander (IC) must integrate a clear communication strategy, standard operating procedures, and resource management throughout all levels of the incident management system.
Division/Group Supervisor Practices
- Division/Group supervisors should implement consistent operational practices, such as ensuring clear assignment of tasks and maintaining situational awareness during all emergency incidents.
Ventilation Coordination
- The ventilation crew must coordinate closely with the incident command and crews operating at the scene to prevent unintended changes in fire flow path, which can exacerbate the situation.
Resource Request Considerations
- When requesting additional resources, consider factors such as the complexity of the fire, potential for escalation, and current resource effectiveness to ensure optimal support.
