RIVERSIDE FIRE AUTHORITY FIELD OPERATING GUIDELINES TRANSFER OF COMMAND COMMAND AND THE TRANSFER OF COMMAND The first-arriving unit will initiate Command (IC #1). This will normally be a Company Officer, but could be any RFA member. The first-arriving Chief Officer should assume Command of the incident following the completion of the Transfer of Command procedures and becomes IC #2. In certain situations, it may be advantageous for IC #1 to transfer Command to a Chief Officer arriving on-scene. When a Chief Officer arrives on at the same time as the initial arriving company, the Chief Officer should assume Command of the incident. Command shall not be transferred to an officer who is not on the scene. TRANSFER OF COMMAND PROCEDURES The officer assuming command (IC #2) will communicate with the person being relieved (IC#1) by radio or face-to-face. Face-to-face is the preferred method. IC #1 will brief IC #2 indicating , at least, the following: o General Situation Status: Incident conditions (fire location and extent, Hazmat spill or release, number of patients, etc) Incident Management Plan Completion of the Tactical Objectives Safety Considerations o Deployment and assignments of operating companies and personnel. o Determination of needs for additional resources.
