I A P
is a system that optimizes the utilization of all available resources personnel, procedures, and equipment in order to promote safety and improve operational efficiency
Crew Resource Management
Stage of fire at which all surfaces and objects within a space have been heated to their ignition temp. and flame breaks out almost at once over the surface of all objects in the space
Flash over
Act of directing, ordering, and/or controlling resources by virtue of explicit legal, agency, or delegated authority
Command
Incident management personnel who report directly to the IC; includes PIO, safety officer, and Liaison officer
command staff
Incident management personnel who represent the major functions of Sections
General Staff
Organizational level having responsibility for a major functional area of incident management including: Operations, Planning, Logistics, Finance, Information, and Intelligence
Section
Organizational level having functional/geographic responsibility for major segments of incident operations; located between Section and Division or Group. Identified by roman Numeral or functional area
Branch
Organizational level having responsibility for operations within a defined geographic area; between Branch and single resource
Division
Level that is equal to division having specified functional assignment at an incident without regard for specific geographic area
Group
Organizational level within the Sections that fulfill specific support functions, such as resources, documentation
Unit
Any combination of resources assembled for a specific mission or operational assignment
Task Force
Set number of resources of the same kind and type that have an established minimum number of personnel. They remain together as a team throughout incident
Strike Team
Standard for fire department Incident Management system
NFPA 1561
A room or space within a building or structure that is enclosed on all sides, at the top and bottom
Compartment
Facts Probabilities Own Situation Decision Plan of Operation
Lloyd Laymen fire fighting tactics
- Understand the situation
- Establish incident Objectives and strategies
- Develop the plan of action (IAP)
- Prepare and disseminate the plan (make assignments)
- Evaluate and revise the plan
Operational Planning “P” Model
common, prevailing, and uncontrolled atmospheric weather conditions
Ambient conditions
Instantaneous explosion or rapid burning of superheated gases that occurs when oxygen is introduced into an oxygen depleted confined space
Back draft
describes a condition in which the unburned fire gases that have accumulated at the top of a compartment ignite and flames propagate through the hot gas layer or across the ceiling
Rollover
Minimum temp. to which a fuel in the air must be heated in order to start self-sustained combustion no external ignition source is required
Autoignition Temperature
Moment when a mixture of fuel and oxygen encounters an external heat source with sufficient heat energy to start the combustion reaction
Piloted Ignition
thermal or chemical decomposition of fuel because of heat generally resulting in the lowered ignition temp of the material
Pyrolysis
Form of energy associated with the motion of atoms or molecules and capable of being transmitted through solid and fluid media by conduction
Heat
The overall plans for controlling an incident
Strategic goals
- Investigation Option
- Fast Attack option
- Command Post Option
Command Options
Are specific statements of measurable outcomes
Tactical objectives
A legal term that refers to the handling and integrity of real evidence ( physical materials )
Chain of Custody
Chain of Evidence
