Span of Control

Driven by several factors:

Command Options


If a Department Officer or someone
without tactical capabilities arrives
first then establishing a Command
Post should be top priority
At most incidents the initial Incident
Commander will be a unit or
Company Officer
ICS/Safety 2007
18
Command Options

The following “modes” are
available to the Company
Officer:
• Nothing Showing Mode
• Attack Mode
• Command Mode
ICS/Safety 2007
19
“Nothing Showing Mode”



Require investigation by initial
company while additional units
stage
The Company Officer should go
with the company to investigate
Advise ECC you are going to
“nothing showing mode”
ICS/Safety 2007

“Attack Mode”


Situations that require immediate
action to stabilize the incident with
direct involvement in the attack
Examples include:
• Offensive fire attacks
• Critical life situations
• Firefighter safety is a major concern
ICS/Safety 2007
21
“Attack Mode” cont.

Fast attack mode should not last
more than a few minutes and end
with:
• the situation stabilized
• the situation is not stabilized the
Company Officer must withdraw to the
exterior and establish a Command Post
• Command is transferred to another
ranking officer
ICS/Safety 2007
22
“Command Mode”


Due to the size, complexity, or
potential for rapid escalation some
incidents require strong overall
command.
In these cases the Company Officer
will initially assume an exterior safe,
effective, and visible command
position.
ICS/Safety 2007
23
Passing Command



Some situations my be advantageous for a
first arriving Company to pass Command to
the next arriving Company
Passing Command to an officer who is not
on the scene is not advisable
Command can be transferred by radio but
should be done face-to-face
