Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service FIRE CHIEF’S GENERAL ORDER FCGO: 19-02 January 15, 2019 Page 1 of 2 TO: All MCFRS Personnel FROM: Fire Chief Scott E. Goldstein SUBJECT: Significant Incident Reporting on FireApp Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service Policy and Procedure 24-01, Incident Response Policy Appendix T, After Action Reporting (AAR), dated July 1, 2017, outlines the process for conducting After Action Reviews. Specifically, the Initial Written AAR is completed for all events that meet the following criteria: 1. Any structure fire where the fire extended past the room/area of origin, 2. Any collision with a complex or extended extrication, 3. Any hazmat incident where suited-entry was required, 4. Any incident where technical rescue assets were used, 5. Any declared mass casualty incident, or 6. Any other call for which the Incident Commander believe lessons and/or recommendations should be shared. To facilitate the completion of the Initial Written AAR, the Incident Report narrative section of the FireApp reporting software has been modified. A new Significant Incident selection box has been added to the Narrative Tab. The Incident Commander, as author of the narrative, must select one of the criteria above in the selection box if the incident can be classified as a Significant Incident, or otherwise select “NONE.” Once the FireApp has been completed, an email will automatically be sent to 1) the author as a prompt to complete the Initial Written AAR and 2) the Battalion Chief with Collateral Duty assignment for Lessons Learned/After Action Reporting as a prompt to track and publish the document. As a reminder, the following link is to be used to submit the Initial Written AAR:  FCGO: 18-XX Significant Incident Reporting on FireApp December 17, 2018 Page 2 of 2 For further information about this program, please contact the Operations Division Chief.
