Chapter 3 Flashcards
Measurable incident objectives to be achieved in a specific time frame
Operational period
IAP for hazardous materials and special operations must be
Written
Incident scene planning involves
- Evaluating the situation
- Developing incident objectives
- Selecting a strategy
- Deciding which resources should be used to achieve the objectives in the safest, most efficient, and cost effective manner
____ formally documents incident goals, operational period objectives and the response strategy as defined by the IC during the planning process
IAP
The incident scene documentation starts with form
201 incident briefing
Forms that make up the foundation of the IAP
ICS form 215
ICS form 215A
ICS form 215: operational planning worksheet
ICS form 215A: safety officer report
What ICS forms are the basis of the IAP
Done by planning section
202: incident objectives
203: organizational assignment list
204: assignment list
Done by logistics
205: radio communication plan
206: medical plan
Done by safety officer
208: safety message/plan
A practical tool that is used in the planning process and for the development of the IAP
Planning “P”
The leg of the planning “P” describes?
The initial response period and the needed actions once the incident/event begins
- Notification
- Initial response and assignment
- Incident briefing
- Initial incident command / unified command meeting
At the top of the planning “P” is?
The beginning of the first operational planning period cycle
9 steps
Planning begins with?
Problem identification
Incident objectives should be written in a _____ format
S.M.A.R.T.
Specific
Measurable
Action-oriented
Realistic
Timely
In the fire officer book for annual firefighters goal
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Timeline
The ____ process of the planning “P” enables it to be used to continually evaluate the situation and adjust for changes that may occur at the incident scene
Cyclical
A planning cycle should be initiated for each?
Operational period
What are the 2 basic methods of incident scene decision making
Classical method: step by step process, time consuming
Naturalistic; recognition prime; cue based: extremely fast decision making; dependent on experience and training level
The command sequence consists of 5 levels
Level 1: incident priorities
Level 2: size up
Level 3: strategy
Level 4: tactics
Level 5: tasks
_____ are the foundation of command sequence
Incident priorities
- Life safety
- Incident stabilization
- Property conservation
____ starts in the pre planning stages
Size up
Carbon monoxide is
Odorless
WALLACE WAS HOT
Water
Area
Life hazard
Location
Apparatus
Construction/Collapse
Exposure
Weather
Auxiliary appliance
Special matter
Height
Occupancy
Time
______ residential fires tax firefighters the most
Night time
FF give extra efforts, stay a little longer, go a little deeper to save lives
RECEO VS
Rescue
Exposure
Confinement
Extinguish
Overhaul
Ventilation
Salvage
A critical point to remember is that an initial responder will basically be confronted with only 4 of the 7 RECEO VS strategic considerations
Rescue
Exposure
Confinement
Ventilation
Discolored or blistered paint, hot surfaces, or smoke pushing from molding is an example of?
Exposure ; fire spread ; hidden fire
A sign of no fire extension to an area could be
Presence of cobwebs
A tool created to optimize human performance
Crew resource management
The crew resource management was originally called
cockpit resource management
CRM is based on 5 factors
- Communication
- Situational awareness
- Decision making
- Teamwork
- Barriers
Gaining control of ___ is the first step in gaining control of the building
Stairs
When a fire is encountered, a solid stream should be played on the ceiling and quickly rotated around the room.
The tendency to strike the fire directly just be resisted. The heat accumulates in the ceiling. Remember what goes up must come down and it will extinguish the fire. Then the hose should be switched to a fog pattern to initiate hydraulic ventilation
Sprinkler systems are based upon
Building contents and not construction
The 3 hazard levels for sprinklers are
Light
Ordinary
Extra hazard
Class 1 standpipe system are typically required in
In buildings of more than 3 stories and in malls due to the long hose line stretches that would be needed
Class 2 standpipe system is typically required in
Large unsprinklered buildings
