How to track the fireground on a tactical worksheet. ✍🏼🔥 A good incident commander must track the location and assignment of companies at all times during the incident.

Is your department ensuring that there is a dedicated “command officer” responding to fires? 🔥🧑🏻‍🚒 Incident command is a function on the fireground that requires training, skill, and focus, just like any other fireground task. Too many departments rely on the company officer to have too much command responsibility, either in the early stages of the incident or for the entire incident. ❌ Even if they are trained in the functions of command, a company officer still has OTHER THINGS TO DO.

This communication is face to face. Tactical supervisors (divisions and groups) coordinate multiple COMPANY OFFICERS to accomplish the overall tactical objectives in the assigned area (all fire knocked down, searches complete, extension controlled, etc.). This communication is mostly face-to-fac

LIVE TOMORROW! Fireground styles - Incident Command driven vs. Standard Operating Guideline driven. 🥊🔥 The two most common styles of fireground management are: 1️⃣ IC Driven - in which the Incident Commander gives all directions and assignments on a per-fire basis. 2️⃣ SOG Driven - in which companies have pre-determined assignments based on their arrival order and automatically deploy based on them. Join us as we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of both. We’ll be talking about: 👨🏻‍🚒 The

Dividing up the incident to stay within your span of control is one of the top 5 “COMMANDments” for a well-run fireground. 💪🏼🔥 When making assignments, it is important to identify: 1️⃣ Who is the supervisor? 2️⃣ What area or task are they responsible for? 3️⃣ What units are reporting to them?
