Assume Command
Situational Awareness
Incident Communications
Incident objectives, strategy, develop IAP
Deploy Resources
Develop Incident Organization
Review, evaluate, and revise the IAP as needed.
Transfer and termination of command.
• ** Risk Management**
ASSUMPTION OF COMMAND
• First Arriving Officer SHALL?
Situational Awareness
• Is it “normal” and will ordinary SOG’s suffice?
– Size, Scope, Complexity, Duration, Novelty
Situational Awareness
Communications
• Identify
– Dispatch does this initially
• Develop
– Enhance to meet incident & organizational objectives
• Initiate
• Control
– ICS terminology, Groups/Divisions, Radio discipline
Incident Objectives
• Must coincide with accurate situational awareness.
• On smaller incidents this is usually skipped over
(straight to tactical assignments)
• On larger incidents, escalating incidents, they
become essential to:
– Ensure more complex strategies are all met.
– Serve as the seed for the ICS 201 and IAP
– Assist in identifying progress
“Protect the Hollywood sign”
“Protect the Hollywood sign”
Strategy
Prepare area prior to fires arrival, to slow
flame spread and reduce flame intensity
Fire suppression in immediate area upon
fires arrival
“Protect the Hollywood sign”
Prepare area prior to fires arrival, to slow flame
spread and reduce flame intensity
Tactics
● Paint the ridge with fire retardant
using fixed wing aircraft
● Use LAFD tractor unit to cut a 15’ fire break
● Coat the sign with “Barricade”
● Reduce & remove vegetation next to sign
Deploy Resources
Incident Organization
• As the incidents grows, so does the Organization.
• Ensures effective utilization of resources, assists
in resource accountability.
• The Organization Chart adds visual clarity
– Span of Control
– Unity of Command
– Objectives have been tactically supported with
resources
Incident Organization
• Truck 27 from IC, you’re going to be
Division “Alpha”
Geographical Divisions
•
•
•
•
•
•
EXACTLY what is their square of land
Give them a mission
Who will be working for them
Communications plan
Who they will be working for
Safety concerns
“T-27 from IC, you’re going to be the Div “A”
supervisor”…….
“You have all of the stores on the Alpha side”
“I’m concerned about the horizontal fire travel in
both directions, both on the first floor and in the
attic”
“You’ll have E-48 working for you”
“Talk to me on Channel 11”
I’m a little concerned about potential collapse of
the facade
T-27 from IC, you’re going to be the Div “A”
supervisor…….
• You have all of the stores on the Alpha side
• I’m concerned about the horizontal fire travel
in both directions, both on the first floor and
in the attic
• You’ll have E-48 working for you
• Talk to me on Channel 11
• I’m a little concerned about potential collapse
of the facade
Evaluate and Revise
•
•
•
•
•
98 % of the time, the fire goes out (after the first 6 steps)
The “Roger” syndrome.
Look, Listen and Reconcile.
True “contingency” planning
Logistical support, Supporting Agencies, Relief,
Demobilization should all be considered at this point also
• The shift from Initial Attack to Extended Attack should
become evident (if applicable)
• Does progress meet expectations? Why not??
DECISION POINTS
Little or No Progress at 10 minutes?

Transition of Command

Planning Process
23
The NIMS planning
process provides a
template for the ICP
to Plan how it can
best support the
incident response.
24
Five Major Phases in the ICP Planning Process
1. Understanding the
Situation
Incident/Event
Notification
Initial Response
Incident Brief (201)
ICP Initial Unified
Command Meeting
25
When is the decision made to move
from the Reactive to Managed phase
of an incident?
Who makes that decision?
26
Five Pillars of Command

201 form, Situation
Reports [SITREPS], and
previous IAPs.)
• Facilities established
5. Situation Summary and Health and Safety Briefing (for briefings or transfer of command): Recognize potential
incident Health and Safety Hazards and develop necessary measures (remove hazard, provide personal protective
equipment, warn people of the hazard) to protect responders from those hazards.
• Incident potential

Commanders Intent
“Words into organization and action”
• Commanders Intent is the direction or goal the
commander or command wants to accomplish in
the operational period.
• Operations turns the objectives into:
– Tactical work assignments
– Builds the necessary organizational structure
to support the next Operational period
objectives.
33
Five Major Phases in the
ICP Planning Process (cont.)
Operational-period objectives should follow the
SMART model:

S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Action-oriented
R = Realistic
T = Time sensitive

• Conduct rescue of all
occupants in bank bldg
Operations
• Extinguish fires in bank bldg
• Restore Utilities to complex
• Provide support to evacuee’s
at the shelter site
• Conduct Air monitoring for
hazardous materials
• Develop continuous water

Five Major Phases in the ICP Planning Process
5. Execution, Evaluation,
and Revision of the
Plan
– The new operational
period begins.
– The planning process
now starts over with
the new shift working
on the next
operational period.
– We continue to assess
and modify the
existing plan
40
Is this a crisis?
Don’t know what to do?
• Size it up on the radio
• Call for a whole lot of help
• Begin moving people to a
safe location
• Try to determine the
incident footprint
• Draw a red circle around it
and don’t let it get outside
• Take action
• When help arrives brief
them
