Study Notes
3 Deep Deployment Model
- Command is responsible for maintaining a tactical reserve of fire companies to ensure adequate response capabilities.
- Resources must be deployed in alignment with the incident action plan to effectively address ongoing needs.
- Sufficient resources are necessary to ensure a tactical reserve is strategically placed in forward positions for quick access.
- The tactical reserve is crucial for managing both strategic and tactical demands of the incident or sector.
- A reserve of resources is essential for promptly addressing firefighter rescues if emergencies arise during an incident.
- Expansion of the incident organization can be achieved through sectorization, enhancing operational efficiency.
- The 3-deep deployment model categorizes resources into three tiers:
- Working: Actively engaged resources managing the incident.
- On-Deck: Available resources ready to be deployed immediately after the working units.
- Recycle/Staged: Reserved resources that are prepared and staged for future deployment or to replace exhausted units.
