Study Notes

Incident Commander's Role

Responsible for determining fireground strategy to ensure effective incident management.
Ensures all personnel are operating within the designated strategy for safety.

Fireground Strategy Implementation

Commitment to either OFFENSIVE or DEFENSIVE strategies is crucial; simultaneous use can endanger personnel.
Example of danger: committing to interior positions while simultaneously using master streams from the exterior.

Strategy Matching

The strategy must align with the structure's fire conditions to minimize risk to firefighters.
Managing fireground strategy begins with the arrival of the first unit and requires continuous monitoring and evaluation.

On-Scene Report

The initial Incident Commander must include the fireground strategy in the on-scene report to inform all responders.
When Command is transferred, the new officers must assess the existing strategy in relation to the Risk Management Plan.

Common Understanding

Clear communication of fireground strategy is essential; all firefighters need to know whether to operate offensively or defensively.
Miscommunication can lead to confusion and danger; strategy should not be a mystery to those on the fireground.
