  1. CHAOS Should NotStand For Chief (or Captain) Has Arrived On Scene Fire-Rescue International Chicago, IL – August 2010 ================================== Steve Prziborowski

  2. Objectives: Define the key components of an effective incident size-up Utilize ICS to effectively manage an incident Create a template to use for broadcasting a radio report on conditions

  3. Objectives: Define the 10 basic responsibilities of the first-due Chief (or Company) officer Using simulated incidents, determine objectives specific to the type of incident they may be faced with

  4. The First-Due Chief (or Captain): Will either set the incident up for success or for failure Will either be the “hero” or the “zero” Needs to be able to manage the incident from “A to Z” Needs to always be thinking 5 steps ahead, 5 minutes ahead, plan b, c, d, etc.

  5. Why should CHAOS never stand for Chief (or Captain) has arrived on scene?

  6. Need I Say More?

  7. What Are The Top 10 Contributing Factors To Firefighter Line-Of-Duty-Deaths?

  8. Top 10 Contributing LODD Factors: Command and Control Fire Behavior Building Construction Human / Cultural Items Communications Safety / Staffing Water Supply

  9. Top 10 Contributing LODD Factors: Fire Prevention Ventilation Standard Operating Procedures / Guidelines

  10. CHAOS: C = Command & Control H = Have a plan (IAP) A = Apparatus placement & Accountability O = Organize your resources S = Size-up & Support the incident

  11. 10 Basic Responsibilities: Safety & accountability of responders and bystanders Effectivecommand & controlofthe entire incident, from start to finish ContinuousSize-up &Radio reports

  12. 10 Basic Responsibilities: Command & Strategic mode determination Incident action plan creation & implementation Apparatus placement & Equipment utilization Hose line placement & selection

  13. 10 Basic Responsibilities: Ensure sufficient & appropriateresources & personnel are responding or notified. Incident benchmark accomplishment & documentation Transfer Command / Close out the incident

  14. #1 – Safety & Accountability Determine go / no-go Call additional resources early Dedicated Safety Officer Proper span-of-control Proactive & continual situationalawareness & risk / hazard analysis

  15. #1 – Safety & Accountability Provide for Rehab Provide for 2 in / 2 out & RIC/RIT/FAST Proper PPE usage Ensure accountability Thermal Imaging Camera usage Establish trigger points

  16. #2 – Command & Control Fixed command post known by all Command presence is essential Effective & appropriate communications Determine the Incident Priorities If you don’t control your personnel, they will find something to do

  17. #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports Size-up versus Radio Report – what’s the difference?

  18. #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports Size-up is continuous: starting when you got on the job continuing to before the incident while enroute upon arrival (360 degree hot lap) throughout incident

  19. #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports Lloyd Layman’s FPODP Facts Probabilities Own situation Decision Plan

  20. W = Water Supply A = Area L = Life Safety L = Location/Extent A = Apparatus C = Construction / Collapse Potential E = Exposures W = Weather A = Auxiliary Appliances S = Special Matters H = Height O = Occupancy T = Time of Day #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports

  21. #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports Two types of Radio Reports: Initial: upon arrival, 30 seconds or less, paint the picture & set the stage Follow-up: assign incoming resources, provide updated incident information

  22. #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports INITIAL radio report: Unit I.D. Brief description of situation Obvious conditions Brief description of action taken Command mode and command post location

  23. #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports INITIAL radio report: Strategic mode Obvious safety concerns Additional resources & staging area Corrected address (if applicable)

  24. #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports FOLLOW-UP radio report: Any concerns not initially mentioned Assignments for arriving units/personnel Additional resource requests (max of 3 at a time) Personnel filling key positions CAN reports (Conditions, Actions, Needs)

  25. #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports Don’t forget: 2 in / 2 out: established or not established Who will lay supply lines Strategic mode Command post location Staging area

  26. #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports The following radio report assumes: Your first alarm is 3 engines, 1 truck, 1 rescue and 1 chief officer Engines 1, 2 & 3, Truck 1, Battalion 1, Rescue 1 Responding units are staffed with 3 or 4 Obviously assignments may changed based on your staffing & resource levels, not to mention your SOP/SOGs

  27. #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports The following radio report assumes: Your first alarm is 3 engines, 1 truck, 1 rescue and 1 chief officer Engines 1, 2 & 3, Truck 1, Battalion 1, Rescue 1 Responding units are staffed with 3 or 4 Obviously assignments may changed based on your staffing & resource levels, not to mention your SOP/SOGs

  28. #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports Unit Identifier at scene: “Engine 1 on scene” Brief description of incident situation: “We have a two story house,” Obvious Conditions:“Fire showing from the second floor, Alpha side of building”

  29. #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports Brief Description of Action Taken: “Engine 1 will be deploying 1 ¾” hose lines and securing our own water supply, hydrant in front of house.” Command mode &command post location: “Engine 1 will be assuming Main Street IC, command post will be at Engine 1”

  30. #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports Declaration of Strategic Mode: “This will be an offensive fire attack” Indication of the need for additional resources:“Dispatch a 2nd alarm; staging will be at 2nd and Main street.”

  31. #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports Assign arriving units (part 1): - “Engine 2, you will be assigned Division 2, you’ll have my firefighter. - Your tacticalobjectives are to: Locate & confine the fire Obtain an all clear on primary search Two-in, two-out will be established with the IC & the driver of Engine 1.”

  32. #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports Assign arriving units (part 2): - “Truck 1, you’ll be assigned ventilation group - Your tacticalobjectives will be to: Provide ventilation Secure utilities, and Ladder the building.”

  33. #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports Assign arriving units (part 3): - “Engine 3, you’ll be assigned to Division 2, Engine 2 Captain is the supervisor; - Your tacticalobjectives will be to: Assist Division 2 with a back-up hoseline Check for extension.”

  34. #3 – Size-up & Radio Reports Assign arriving units (part 4): - “Rescue 1, you’ll be assigned as RIC 1, - Your tacticalobjectives will be to: Secure a RIC tool cache Soften the building Begin the accountability process

  35. #4 – Command & Strategic Mode Command Modes: Nothing showing / Fast attack / Fixed command Strategic Modes: Offensive / Defensive / Marginal or transitional

  36. Incident priorities Command mode Strategic mode Incident / Strategic objectives Tactical objectives Communications Safety issues Benchmarks Notifications #5 – Incident Action Plan

  37. #6 – Apparatus Placement/Utilization Engines:1st due, 2nd due, 3rd due Trucks:1st due, 2nd due Rescues:1st due, 2nd due Chiefs:1st due, 2nd due, 3rd due Specialty Apparatus:

  38. #7 – Hoseline Placement & Selection One of the most critical decisions Keep fire contained to the “box” Remember the incident priorities Hose line considerations – 1st, 2nd, 3rd Big fire = big water Don’t forget back-up hose line 2nd water supply? Capabilities of hose lines & nozzles

  39. #8 – Sufficient Resources/Personnel Go ugly, go early Limit to three (3) at a time Trust your gut instinct At least one unit in staging for room & contents Full alarm in staging for more than room & contents How long does mutual aid take???

  40. On scene / report on conditions Command established / location Staging location Strategic mode Water supply 2 in / 2 out (or not) All clear Secondary search Fire contained Fire knock down Incident under control PARs Key ICS positions being filled #9 – Incident Benchmarks

  41. Transfer of Command briefing Get officers together for overhaul plan Fire investigation plan Demobilization plan Tailboard session Responder / Occupant wellness Incident documentation Prepare for PIA Fire watch #10 – Incident Termination
