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.

Incident Management Considerations

Expect extended operations requiring personnel rotations and established benchmarks for changing incident responses.
Track all resources and keep detailed documentation of the operation for reference and accountability.
