    • 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.
