Study Notes
Tactical Level Management
- Effective tactical management combines decisive firefighting actions, life safety, and crew welfare.
- Clear plans should detail fire attack strategies, victim protection protocols, and supportive operations.
Key Considerations for Sector Management
- Develop a comprehensive exterior rescue plan with necessary resources.
- Formulate strategies for extinguishing the fire quickly and efficiently.
- Manage rescue operations or protective measures for individuals in danger.
- Conduct thorough investigations of fire extension in surrounding areas.
- Ensure effective access routes to and from the incident scene.
- Establish and maintain a reliable water supply for firefighting efforts.
- Create a safe refuge area for firefighting companies to regroup and recover.
- Foster direct coordination and communication with other Sector Officers.
- Oversee the positioning and functionality of all units assigned to the sector.
- Implement a three-layer resource management strategy: working, on-deck, and recycling units.
- Use radio communication for accountability when necessary.
Operational Positioning
- Sector management should occur outside hazardous smoke and heat conditions for clarity and safety.
- Officers cannot effectively manage operations while navigating their own air supply and safety.
- Be aware that building layouts may necessitate hose stretches exceeding 150 feet, requiring clear risk management assessments.
- Fire companies must not operate inside structures during firefighting beyond their ability to retreat to safe areas prior to air alarms sounding.
