2 nd function of command Flashcards
what is the second function of command
situation evaluation
____ is a systematic process consisting of the rapid consideration of all critical incident factors, which lead to the development of an IAP
size up (21)
the process of ___ ___ remains difficult throughout the early stages of operations as the ic attempts to gather facts and verify their accuracy within a compressed and dangerous time frame
situation evaluation
\_\_\_ information includes: location of the incident incident problem assigned units tach channel dispatch notes
dispatch
the initial IC mustcomplete the 1st ___ command functions with in a short time frame
6
what are the 1st 6 command functions
establish confirm and position command situation evaluation communications deployment strategy and IAP organization
the IC must evaluate the ___ __ __ before an effective and safe incident action plan can begin
critical incident factors
the initial ___ must identify the what, where, and when of the incident problem
size up
the size up of the critical incident factors is the basis for choosing the proper strategy, formulating the IAP and concludes with a quick, fairly simple __/__ response
go/no go (22)
the ic uses a combination of 4 basic tools what are they
previous experiences
visual
reported/ reconnaissance
preincident planning
___ ___ is the most common factor used by the IC for initial and ongoing incident evaluation.
visual observation
____/___ is information not directly available visually to the IC from the fast attack or command post position is acquired by the IC assigning personnel to standard geographic and functional assignments covering the incident site
reported/reconnaissance
_-___ ___ is preplans that provide information beyond a quick visual survey or a recon report
pre-incident planning
as operations expand and the ic moves to the ___ level, the demand will increase fore more recon reports, reference information and staff support
strategic (23)
the initial evaluation for each incident begins at the time ___
the alarm is received (24)
the initial __ ___ determines what kind of risk is present, so that the ic can decide what type of response is required
situation evaluation
proper evaluation is greatly influenced by the location of the __ ___
command post
command post the ic should be able to observe what 3 things
incident conditions
general operation action
effect of that action
the best command placement often involves a view of 2 sides of the incident, the front and the most ___ side such as placement near the corner of a building
critical (25)
the ___ visual observations may be the quickest and most direct source for information on conditions. however it is limited to the field of vision that is available from that one spot. this limitation can be balanced by the use of visual, recon and pre-plan data
IC
the mct provides the best routing access and water supply info. __ give the IC the key tactical features of the structure and the incident area
preplans
____ creates an opportunity for positive customer contact. we get meet and know the people we might later deliver service to. we increase our awareness and knowledge of the building that we might have to operate in.
pre fire plan (26)
a starting point for occupancy pre-fire planning is an evaluation of ___ associated with buildings in terms of construction, occupancy, size, hazard, egress, built in protection, access and exposures
risks
occupancy pre fire planning - ___ looks at the buildings ability to resist fire effect (built in protection, fire resistive construction, adequate separation, firewalls, and vertical ventilation considerations)
construction
occupancy pre fire planning ___ looks at associated characteristic/hazards
occupancy
occupancy pre fire planning __ __ looks at location and available flow
water supply
occupancy pre fire planning ___ is the building and the potential size of the incident problem
size
___ buildings present the potential for a large fire and a significant loss of life. This incident will require a long term , multi alarm response.
large
___ buildings present a moderate level fire problem requiring routine first alarm an possible second alarm, tactics with predictable occupancy load
medium
____ single family and commercial risks typically are controlled by a first alarm and must always be approached in a manner that includes standard safety practices. these light weight constructed bildings have a seriously injured and killed more ff that any other occupancy type
small
occupancy pre fire planning __ looks at the amount, nature and location of the hazard will determine how incident stabilization will be conducted
hazard (27)
occupancy pre fire planning __ and _ is the basic layout of the occupancy becomes a major operational factor and will determine the difficulty that companies will have getting into and out of the structure, such as security bars and stairwells. complicated interior arrangements become an accountability hazard, particularly in larger occupancies
access and arrangement
the ic ___ role within the overall accountability system involves maintaining an awareness of who is where, who is doing what, who is working for whom and how long they have worked.
strategic
the on going use of both ___ and tactical worksheets create a routine management approach that can be consistently applied to every incident
preplans (28)
\_\_\_\_ should record the following data: resource status resource assignment personnel inventory benchmarking
tactical worksheet
resource status is crews that are
assigned or unassigned
resource assignment is a crews
division/group/branch/task
personnel inventory is
tracking and accountability of crews by their designation, arrival, assignment, location, activity
tactical worksheet should record the following data:
resource status
resource assignment
personnel inventory
benchmarking
the IC/command team is always responsible for maintaining awareness of the location and function of all incident resources. the ___ ___ becomes a major management tool in completing that responsibility
tactical worksheet
having operating units transmit ongoing ___ reports assists the IC in managing current conditions and forecasting future needs.
progress (29)
___ ___ ___ are a list of items that the ic must consider when evaluating tactical situations. command conducts a rapid, overall evaluation, and then sorts them in priority order
critical incident factors
building fire occupancy life hazard arrangement resources action special circumstances are all \_\_\_ \_\_\_ \_\_\_
critical incident factors (30)
the ___ must evaluate structural/fire conditions, accountability, maintaining a protected exit for inside crews, and an accurate evaluation of conditions
IC
