- Offensive mode requires immediate action to stabilize the incident, save lives, and control the fire
- Company Officer's involvement in offensive mode is crucial and should not last more than 15-20 minutes
- Defensive mode is necessary for incidents with potential for rapid expansion and requires strong, overall command
- Tactical worksheet is utilized in defensive mode to manage the incident

- Company Officer continues to be fully responsible for command functions regardless of mode chosen
- Procedures for passing command to the next Company Officer on the scene to avoid compromising incident management

Incident Command Procedures
- Command is not automatically transferred to a higher-ranking officer upon arrival at the scene.
- The transfer of command is only completed through a specific process, including communication between the relieving and assuming officers.
- The officer being relieved must brief the assuming officer on incident conditions, action plan, progress, deployment, safety, and resource needs.
- Reviewing the tactical worksheet is crucial for an effective command transfer.
- Command is terminated when the incident de-escalates or when all companies are cleared to return to service, with specific criteria to be met.
- All assignments and orders issued by the Incident Commander and other officers must be carried out as ordered.
- A process is in place for handling conflicting assignments/orders received at any level of command.
- Emergency radio communications procedures are outlined for emergency messages, injured/missing personnel, and immediate evacuations from hazardous areas.
- The Incident Commander is responsible for developing an organizational structure to effectively manage the incident scene.
