1108 - QAS
QAS
QAS are primarily used for 2 distinctive levels based on:
Building size
Occupancy type
Associated hazard level.
There are 2 QAS levels (level 1):
Level I - Strip mall, publix > 10k sq ft, 3 stories, self storage, Target Hazards - schools, nursing home
There are 2 QAS levels (level 2):
Level 2 - Airport, hospitals, Jails, Major Malls

the BC at anytime. QAS binder should be kept in the Fire Control Room or security office
For QASs the first thing CO should do is:
contact owner/mgr to make an appt, then CO reviews building in ARI.

QAS findings are documented?
on the Quick Access Survey in EZ QAS program
QASs are documented as training? T or F
True
The north directional arrow for the drawing shall be:
top right of the page with north pointing to the top or to the right.
When using FireZone for a multi story building:
put the # of floors in the text box
FireZone is a CAD program to?
Draw up QASs
QAS info is documented in
EZ-QAS application and is all capitalized
Who is responsible for scheduling annual QAS survey’s :
BC
CO submits a copy of the QAS to his
DC
Original QASs are filed at
the first due station
QAS binder is kept
in DC, EMS Capt and first due truck
BOSS (Bureau of Safety Services) is in charge of QASs and are to notify ____ when____:

SOG 1115 Incident Command Sequence
ICS
Tactical Officer:
Officer who is responsible for a single company
A Command Officer is:
A single unit resource at the rank of DC or higher.
SOG 1115 ICS (Incident Command Sequence):
- Incident Priorities
- Situation Evaluation (Size up)
- Strategy & Tactics
- Development the (IAP)
- Evaluating the (IAP)
ICS Incident Priorities:
LIPE: Life
Incident Stability
Property Conservation
Evidence Preservation
Size up is what develops:
Incident Action Plan (IAP) based on Critical Incident Factors
IC uses size-up (situation evaluation) and risk assessment as:
the decision maker of Strategy and Tactics which is really incident strategy
“what needs to be done” on a fire defines?
Strategy……this is RECEOVS
Rescue - Primary/Secondary search Exposure - Protect 30ft from fire Confinement - Stop fire Extinguish - Control fire Overhaul - Pre/Post fire Vent - remove gases Salvage - save from further damage
An active dynamic problem is present and requires immediate action is:
Offensive Attack
When transitioning from Offensive to Defensive:
IC will declare “Emergency Traffic”, dispatch will sound the alert tones and it doesn’t get canceled until all units report a PAR out of the building
Advanced stage of fire with insufficient resources and no life safety risk is called:
Defensive Attack
No clear visible indicators of the nature or extent of the problem and all other units may remain in level I staging is called:
Investigating
Tactical Sequence provides
Who, what, when, where
Tactical priorities (rescue, fire control, ventilation etc.) are:
intervention plans
Unified Command is when:
we work together with other cities/depts
The initial Incident Commander position is
a function of role, not rank
DCs mobile radio is preferred over
portable radio
When does IC activate Incident Management Team and/or Tactical Command unit?
incidents excede 6 hrs
Resource Tracking is:
having the correct accountability level
Notes and worksheets become part of the
incident report.
Command is terminated:
when all units returned to service, (but one unit can stay on scene).
SOG 118
Rehab
NFPA 1584,
Rehabilitation Operating at Incident Scene Operations and Training Exercises
NFPA 1584,
Rehabilitation Operating at Incident Scene Operations and Training Exercises
Rehab Unit works within which section?
the Logistics Section
What criteria(s) benchmarks it’s time to go to rehab and stay there for a minimum of ?
When a crew has worked for 45 minutes, or has used 2 air bottles consecutively, crew is relieved and placed in Rehab. Min time is 15min of rest then re-assessed
If FF needs to be in Rehab longer
Than 30min, transport
All units and personnel reporting to Rehab will bring
their UIP to Rehab. The Rehab Unit
will track all units and personnel in Rehab on the Accountability Board.
SOG 1205
Comm
Radio transmissions will follow
the “military order model”, with the unit ID of the receiver first, then the unit ID of the sender.
MCI Levels:
MCI Level I: 5 - 10 MCI Level II: 11 - 20 MCI Level III: 21 -100 MCI Level IV: 101 - 999 MCI Level V: 1,000 +
SOG 1310
Staging Levels
Staging Levels in detail:
Level 1: The usual calls
Level 2: IC gives specific location, for multiple alarms, MCI Level 2 or higher. Alert III Index aircraft. Report directly to IC
Level 2 staging
requires a Staging Mgr
Staging in high rise incident is typically
one to two floors below the fire.
Base is the term for
staging of resources located several blocks from the incident
SOG 1505
FF Survival
Mayday us LUNAR:
Location Unit Name Air Resource
Pre - connected hose with Red/White and Yellow/White color coded hose is:
intended to provide a reference of what hose line a crew is working on.
SOG 1515
Personnel Accountability
Level I Accountability is
start of a regular day
While in a fire, FFs keep in contact with each other by:
voice, touch, vision, NOT radio
Level II Accountability is
2 or more units
Level III is
High rise, hazard material, any complex call
SOG 1518
2 in 2 out
Offensive Attack
min of 4 FF need to be on scene, 2 going in and 2 on standby
A fire beyond the incipient stage is
an IDLH atmosphere
Any atmosphere which contains less than 19.5% or more than 23% oxygen is
an IDLH atmosphere
SOG 1520
RIC
When possible:
RIC should be an entire engine company
RIC placement:
Residence: main entrance

RIC should perform
360 degree too
Dedicated RIC
Commercial or High rise with 2nd alarm: Special Operations dispatched as a dedicated RIC
SOG 1526

Using Lock out/Tag out control devices from the “safe” or “off” position is prohibited this is known as:
zero mechanical
state (ZMS)
