  4. Module 4Overview OBJECTIVE Given a scenario with identified strategies and tactics, determine the acceptable assignments to implement the action plan. Communicatingthe Action Plan

  6. COMMAND SEQUENCE INCIDENT PRIORITIES (mission) ACT TACTICAL OPERATIONS

  7. Implementing theAction Plan Last step prior to implementing the action plan is to evaluate available resources.

  8. IC has determined: • What resources can best accomplish which tactic(s)? • Are there enough resources to accomplish the strategy and tactics? • Will the current resources need relief?

  9. Implementing theAction Plan Consider hazards to personnel safety when determining resource assignments.

  10. Tactical Operations • Specific tasks. • Carried out by assigned resources.

  11. METHODS OF IMPLEMENTING THE ACTION PLAN

  12. The IC has a choice as to how the plan is implemented. • Assigning tactics. • Assigning tasks. • Use of standard operating procedures.

  13. Assigning Tactics • Tactics should be assigned in the order they need to be accomplished. • Allows companies the flexibility to determine the tasks. • The company has its job description. • Status of assigned tactic is the basis for feedback to IC.

  14. Assigning Tactics Example: • "Eng. 1, confine fire to room of origin and protect stairway for rescue on second floor." • "Truck 1, conduct primary search on second floor."

  15. Assigning Tactics Whoever is assigned to accomplish the tactic is responsible to do what is necessary to get it done.

  16. Task Definition Tasks are those duties and activities performed by individuals, teams, crews, or companies which lead to the successful accomplishment of the designated tactic.

  17. Assigning Tasks • More specific than assigning tactics. • IC retains responsibility. • Tasks, rather than tactics, are delegated. • IC has more involvement.

  18. Assigning Tasks Example: • "Eng. 1, advance a 1-3/4" handline through the door on Side B and attack the fire." • "Truck 1, place ladder at bedroom window Side C, for second means of egress."

  19. When it may be necessary to assign tasks: • When managing companies with little training or experience. • Mutual aid companies with which you are not familiar or with whom you have not trained.

  20. When it may be necessary to assign tasks: • When specific tasks are critical to the action plan's success. • When there is a chance for misunderstanding.

  21. Using SOP's Departmental policies that call for predetermined actions to be taken under typical conditions.

  22. Advantages of SOP's • Requires minimal communications. • Limits the amount of time needed. • Each company knows what the other is doing.

  23. Drawbacks of Relyingon SOP's • They don't fit all emergencies. • May result in lack of coordination. • Companies may take action before problems are correctly identified.

  24. Drawbacks of Relyingon SOP's "Predetermined actions may not fit an undetermined emergency."

  25. IC may decide to take exception to SOP's • Based on initial on-scene size-up. • Based on safety considerations. Companies need to know why exceptions are being taken.

  26. Using SOP's Using SOP's does not relieve the first-in officer from responsibility to take command.

  27. COMMUNICATINGTHEACTION PLAN

  28. Best plan doesn't always work if you can't get others to understand what you're trying to do. • GYST. • Be clear, concise, and logical.

  29. Communicate the plan in the order you want it accomplished.

  30. Let everyone know the operational mode. • Offensive. • Defensive. • Transitional.

  31. Giving Assignments in Priority Order • Help coordinate efforts. • Help others to understand your plan and how it is to be carried out. Always use the communications mode.

  32. Officers need to communicate task assignments to crews. • IC's plan can fail. • Requirements apply at the company level. • Affect personnel safety.

  33. Small Group Activity 4.1Implementing the Action Plan

  34. Example Problem Identification • Fire and possible extension to 2nd floor. • Possible extension to exposures. • Persons possibly trapped. • Smoke throughout structure.

  35. Suggested Answers: Example strategy identification: Rescue of possible victims. Confine fire to area of origin. Protect exposures. Perform ventilation.

  36. Rescue Possible Victims • Primary search entire dwelling. • Evacuate occupants. • Protect means of egress for 2nd floor. • Ventilate 2nd floor horizontally.

  37. Confine To Area Of Origin • Confine fire to first floor and extinguish in area of origin. • Ventilate 1st floor horizontally.

  38. Protect Exposures • Check for extension of fire in attached dwellings. • Evacuate occupants.

  39. Perform Ventilation Ventilation tactics have been done in support of the other strategies.

  40. "Eng. 1: Fire attack from Side A and protect stairway for rescue." Part of Rescue/ Confinement--3 personnel.

  41. "Truck 1: Conduct primary search on second floor."(Rescue--2 personnel) "Provide positive pressure ventilation." (Rescue/ Confinement/Ventilation--2 personnel)

  42. "Eng. 2: Provide a protective line to second floor and check for extension." (Rescue/ Interior Exposure/Overhaul--3 personnel.

  43. "Dispatch: Respond two additional engines and a medical unit." (Exposures/ Extinguishment/possible relief for first alarm personnel and treatment of any victims)

  44. Summary Implementation is the act part of the command sequence.
