All firefighting operations will be conducted under an Incident Management System (IMS).

Unless there is an immediate need for rescue, no interior operations will begin until there are two firefighters available outside the structure who can attempt rescue of firefighters, if necessary.
The guidelines for fireground operations are as follows: Aerial Apparatus, Apparatus Capability, Backup Team, Blitz Attack, Captain, Chief, Lieutenant, Inside Division, and Inside Truck Work.
The Outside Truck Work area includes tactical functions such as laddering, ventilation, forcible entry, utility control, and salvage.
Any Company may be assigned Outside Truck Work.
Pumping apparatus is a vehicle equipped with a fire pump and hose for fire attack and water supply.
Team is a subset of a single Company comprised of two or more individuals who have been assigned a common task, are in communication with each other, coordinate their activities as a work group, and support the safety of one another.
Standby is to place an apparatus at a designated location, perform any needed activities associated with standing by at that location, and maintain a state of readiness until an assignment is received.
