Consider extrication/relocation issues
Scene status: Static or Dynamic?
Decide: Complex…not complex
No SLUDGE
No Fire, stable scene
Southbound lanes open
Overpass intact
Patients walking around
6-10 Reds
Simple extrication
Static scene
Commanding the radio
Provide size-up
Initiate command
Initial assignments
