Study Notes
Emergency Operating Guidelines - Tulsa Fire Department
- Incident Command (IC) Structure: The Incident Commander can determine the need for law enforcement personnel based on the specifics of the incident.
- Search Team Responsibilities: The Search Team (ST) must perform a thorough room-by-room search, identify occupants, and establish a secure corridor for moving through a structure.
- Secure Corridor: Personnel at key junctures (hallways, staircases) must maintain visual contact to ensure safety as they provide over watch for occupants.
- Backfill Personnel: The IC is responsible for continuously assigning additional personnel to support the ST as they advance through the scene.
- Rally Points: Designated locations within the structure for occupants to gather during incidents.
Tactical Triage Task Force (TTTF)
- Deployment Criteria: The IC assesses the need for TTTF deployment based on the incident's size, layout, number of suspects, and potential injuries.
- Team Composition:
- Security Contingent: At least 2 law enforcement officers, one designated as Team Leader (TFTL) to monitor communications and direct tasks.
- Medical Contingent: At least one paramedic and four firefighters responsible for medical evaluations and casualty transports.
Medical Command
- Medical Lead Role: The paramedic leads the medical team, responsible for triaging injuries and decision-making for immediate transport.
- Casualty Collection Points: Locations for treating evacuated injured persons; may establish additional units based on injury numbers.
- Encountering Assailants: If the TTTF encounters an armed assailant, the TFTL decides on engagement and directs the medical team to retreat for safety.
Operational Guidelines
- Evacuation Protocol: The Search Team should shelter occupants in a safe area until a secure relocation site is established for tracking and witness interviews.
- Exterior Operations: A Staging Area Manager (SAM) oversees incoming personnel, ensuring they are briefed on the incident and equipped for duties.
- Perimeter Establishment: Multiple perimeters may be created, including an inner 'kill zone' and an outer 'warm zone' for safety.
Key Locations
- Command Post (CP): To control personnel access and coordinate incident operations.
- Casualty Collection Points: Sites for treating and stabilizing injured persons awaiting transport to hospitals.
- Relocation Site: A secure area for evacuated occupants, allowing for identification and interviews.
- Reunification Site: Separated from the relocation site for family and friends of potential victims, managed by the affected organization with law enforcement oversight.
- Media Area: Designated space for media briefings, managed by the Public Information Officer (PIO) far from operational zones.
