Q

ICS: Assessment

A

This is an information gathering process, usually known as size-up. It includes both an initial assessment of the incident and an ongoing assessment over the life of the incident. The assessment becomes the basis for planning the strategy and tactics to resolve the incident.

Q

ICS: Action Plan and Objectives

A

Once the initial assessment is complete, an action plan must be developed detailing the strategies to safely, effectively and quickly resolve the incident. The goals of the plan must be clearly stated. Progress made must be tracked over time and the plan must be modified to account for additional information that is learned during the ongoing assessment.

22
Q

expound on Size up question: What is likely?

A

Given the known facts and personal observations, determine what is likely. Is the over turned vehicle occupied? If it’s cold outside, should hypothermia be considered? educated guess as to what you may encounter is necessary here.

23
Q

expound on Size up question: What is the response situation?

A

How many and what types of units are responding? what are the capabilities of those units? What additional resources are available and how long will they take to arrive? does the rescue feel capable of resolving the incident given what is known?

24
Q

expound on Size up question: Are the resources assigned adequate?

A

self explanatory… do you need more shit? ask for it… don’t wait.. better to get them started and cancel them later than not have them arrive in a timely manner.

Potential for change
33
Q

expound on managing Terrain hazards

A

composition
steepness
traction

34
Q

Expound on Communicating the Presence of Hazards

A

As hazards are identified, their presence must be communicated to rescue personnel, both on the scene and still responding. Further, the hazards must be tracked over the life of the incident and any new hazards must be communicated as they are identified.

35
Q

Expound on Isolate and/or Mitigate hazards

A

Can the source of the hazard be disabled?
Do Control zones need to be established to isolate?
Is a BLEVE Present, would active cooling mitigate a possible explosion?

36
Q

Expound on the Use of PPE

A

Use proper PPE, if you need expounding on this principle you shouldn’t be involved in this situation to begin with…

37
Q

Expound on Continuous monitoring of hazards

A

the id of hazards and the isolation or mitigation efforts that follow must occur over the life of the incident, new hazards may be discovered, which will need to be communicated, isolated or mitigated. existing hazards may be disabled or resolved which also needs to be communicated.

38
Q

Expound on Risk-Benefit Analysis

A

An analysis needs to take place accounting for the risk associated with the rescue effort and the benefit to be gained by a successful rescue. this analysis is often the responsibility of a safety office, so the role and use of safety offices need to be considered.

39
Q

Manage Resources: 5 requirements IRPRR

A 
Incident Command
Resource Identification
Personnel Accountability
Requirements for additional resources
Rehabilitation.
40
Q

Expound on Incident Command as it pertains to Managing Resources

A

Under ICS Practice, all resources assigned to an incident and their respective duties must be tracked. The ICS Structure is specifically designed to be adaptable to rescue incidents, especially as they grow in complexity and scoped. Therefore, Incident Command is the primary source for resource tracking.

41
Q

Expound on Resource Identification as it pertains to Managing Resources

A

The incident action plan should identify all incident resources, their assignments and their capabilities. As additional resources are requested, they must be incorporated into the incident action plan

42
Q

Expound on Personnel Accountablitity as it pertains to Managing Resources

A

A mechanism must be established to track the assignments and location of all incident personnel. this is just as important as accountability on a fire ground. As a rescue incident grows in scope and resources, accountability checks need to be regular part of the incident action plan.

43
Q

Expound on Requrirements for additional Resources as it pertains to Managing Resources

A

if you order it, incorporate and track it

44
Q

Expound on Rehab as it pertains to Managing Resources

A

if the time frame of an incident increases as to require addition relief crews and rotation assignments, rehab facilities must be established, staffed and supplied. Care of crews and their well being are important considerations.

45
Q

Conducting a search, LUSSP

A 
Local procedures and guideline
Use of ICS
Search Assessment
Search Parameters
Personnel Accountability
46
Q

Terminate a Tech Rescue Op, RMPEDP CISM

A 
Release of Scene Control
Mitigation of On-Going Hazards
Personnel Readiness
Equipment and Apparatus Readiness
Documentation and Record keeping
Post-Incident Analysis and Critique
CISM
47
Q

Expound on “Release of Scene Control” as it pertains to Terminating and Incident

A

Release of the rescue scene should be in accordance with the local protocols between the fire and law enforcement.

48
Q

Expound on “Mitigation of On-Going Hazards” as it pertains to Terminating and Incident

A

If hazards still exist at incident termination, the responsibility for on-going hazards must be identified and responsibility transferred. this can included removal of vehicles, containment of wires down, and other incident hazards.

49
Q

Expound on “Personnel Readiness” as it pertains to Terminating and Incident

A

Prior to returning to service, rescue crews must be evaluated to determine their fitness for returning to duty. the duration of an incident, physical requirements of the rescue, and environmental factors such as weather all have to be taken into account prior to returning crews to service. Use of rehab facilities should also be taken into account.

50
Q

Expound on “Equipment and Apparaus Readiness” as it pertains to Terminating and Incident

A

Cleaning, inspecting and returning rescue equipment and apparatus to service must be conducted as part of the incident termination. if equipment or apparatus cannot be returned to a serviceable state, this must be communicated to the local jurisdiction.

51
Q

Expound on “Documentation and Record Keeping” as it pertains to Terminating and Incident

A

All necessary reports and other documents should be completed as part of the incident termination. Special Care should be used for any unusual aspects of the incident, including multiple casualties, injuries to rescue crew members or unique rescue situations.

52
Q

Expound on “Post-Incident Analysis and Critique” as it pertains to Terminating and Incident

A

Such analyses should be conducted for all large-scale rescue incidents. They should also offer when problems are encountered with executing the standard operating procedures of the jurisdiction. These analyses and critiques must be treated as opportunities to learn and improve, rather then to place blame.

53
Q

Expound on “CISM” as it pertains to Terminating and Incident

A

Critical Incident Stress Management resources should be driven by the severity of the incident and the impact on the rescue crews.
