Study Notes

Elapsed Time Notification (ETN)

Provides the Incident Commander (IC) with a time-based measuring standard to assess the effectiveness of the Incident Action Plan (IAP) on the fire.
Enables the IC to review the IAP on an ongoing basis.

ETN Procedure

Communications notify the IC at every 10-minute increment with the time resources have been on scene until the incident is under control.
The IC can cancel the ETN through communications based on incident conditions.
The IC can request TFS Communications to continue the ETN.
The IC acknowledges communications and re-affirms the strategic mode (offensive or defensive) and states any benchmarks initiated and/or completed.
ETN is initiated by Communications once crews are on scene and a working fire or second alarm has been transmitted/requested.

ETN Example

"Yonge St. Command, Toronto Fire, ETN 10 minutes"
"Roger Toronto Fire, this is command, we are still in the offensive mode, 360 complete and primary search initiated"
