Study Notes
Incident Action Plan Development
- First arriving company officers at structure fires assume command and develop the initial incident action plan.
- Company officers have authority to make tactical assignments based on the incident priorities: Rescue, Fire Control/Incident Stabilization, and Property Conservation.
- The initial incident action plan is communicated to other resources assigned to the incident.
- The incident priorities are Firefighter Safety, Rescue, Fire Control/Incident Stabilization, and Property Conservation.
Fire Control/Rescue
- Primary Search & Rescue
- Medical Aid and Care
- Evacuation and Relocation
Incident Stabilization
- Fire Confinement
- Extinguishment
- Ventilation
- Control and Containment
Property Conservation
- Salvage, Overhaul
- Defensive Exposure
- Protection Positions
- Smoke & Water Removal
Offensive Strategy (Tactical Needs)
- Ventilation
- Fire Attack
- Primary search
- Check for extension
- Water supply
- Exposure protection
- Overhaul/Salvage
- Secure Utilities
- RIC
- Medical
Defensive Strategy (Tactical Needs)
- Additional resources
- Evacuation of exposures
- Aggressive exterior attack
- Aggressive exposure protection
- Charlie side operations
- Water supply
- RIC
- Secure Utilities
- Medical
Lloyd Layman's 7 Factors (RECEO VS)
- Rescue
- Exposures
- Confinement
- Extinguishment
- Overhaul
- Ventilation
- Salvage
Factors to Consider When Developing an Incident Action Plan
- Can the first arriving engine company establish its own water supply?
- Should the first arriving engine drop a supply line at the driveway and lay in to the structure and direct the water supply engine company to continue the layout to the hydrant?
- Is there a potential for rescue that requires immediate action, in place of attacking the fire?
- What immediate support is needed to accomplish a potential rescue; is there an immediate need for a hose line to provide protection to the crew attempting the rescue or for immediate ventilation to improve interior conditions?
- Are there severely threatened exposures that require protection before attacking the fire?
- Should the second arriving engine company be directed to establish water supply, or be given a different task?
- Are there specific and or extreme hazards to personnel (electrical hazards, structural integrity concerns, etc.) that must be mitigated before attacking the fire?
- What is the best mode of attacking the fire: exterior versus interior attack?
- What is the appropriate size of attack: 1 ¾”, 2 ½” or master stream and what is the appropriate GPM?
- Should the responding truck company be directed to a specific location and set up the aerial or should it be directed to place ground ladders in specific locations?
- Are adequate resources responding (where is the fire now, where will it be in five minutes)?
- If the initial size up indicates nothing showing, should other responding units be directed to stage?
