Study Notes

Effective Emergency Incident Management

The Incident Commander (IC) must balance tactical problems with the resources required to control them and stay ahead of the situation through effective forecasting.

Crisis Management

Crisis management is a situation that grows at a rate faster than the response rate to that situation.
It often leads to an out-of-control situation and inadequate resources to control it.

3 Deep Deployment Model

The model provides for a tactical reserve of fire companies.
Resources are deployed in support of the incident action plan.
Resources are deployed in a 3-deep model:
- Working
- On-Deck
- Recycle/Staged

Additional Resources

The greater alarm mechanism is the quickest way to provide automatic move-ups and support necessary for additional resources.
Additional alarms should be struck sequentially (e.g., 3&1, 1st alarm, 2nd alarm, etc.).
Command should resist requesting assistance in a piecemeal fashion.
The early call for additional resources tends to save the day.

Situations Requiring Additional Resources

Life hazard exceeds the rescue EMS capabilities of initial alarm companies.
Number, location, and condition of actual victims exceed the rescue/removal/treatment capabilities of companies.
Property protection demand exceeds the fire control capabilities of initial alarm companies.
Fire conditions become more severe or the situation deteriorates significantly.
All companies have been committed and the fire is not controlled.
Command forecasts forces could be depleted due to exhaustion.
Command anticipates running out of a resource (firefighters, apparatus, water, equipment, etc.).
There is evidence of significant fire, but companies are unable to determine location and extent.
The commitment of companies is not effective.
Companies cannot effectively perform early loss control operations.
The situation becomes so widespread/complex that Command can no longer effectively manage.
The weather has or has the potential to have a particularly exhausting effect on resources.
Command instinctively feels the need to summon additional resources.
