Conduct standard strategy and Incident Action Plan review as the checklist for revision. • Firefighter safety • Strategy matches conditions • Prioritize assignments and monitor progress • Timing and Support • On-deck personnel and resources • Plan B Evaluate information and make transitions and revisions based on the safety profile of changing or forecasted conditions or problems Quickly provide "salvage command" if necessary
Overview “We are safe and effective in solving incident problems by virtue of being able to create action that matches conditions. “Command function seven is where the IC evaluates the effectiveness of the plan and makes necessary adjustments to support incident operations and firefighter safety.
Command Function #7Review/Revision Major Goal: “To confirm that the current strategy and incident action plan is meeting the tactical needs of the incident and adequately provides for the safety of the workers, and to identify and address any areas that are not covered.”
Command Function #7 Competency: Evaluate information received, confirm and evaluate Progress Reports (CAAN, Completion, Exception) to implement changes in strategy and the Incident Action Plan. Receive, confirm, and evaluate conditions. • Evaluation is affected by the evaluator’s physical location. • Focus on the most critical areas first. • Bottom line in info management.
Command Function #7 Competency: Conduct standard strategy and Incident Action Plan review as the checklist for revision. • Implement revisions in strategy, tactics and the Incident Action Plan based on: • Firefighter safety • Strategy matches conditions • Prioritize assignments and monitor progress • Timing and Support • On-deck personnel and resources • Plan B
Command Function #7 IC Checklist: Evaluate information and make transitions and revisions based on the safety profile of changing or forecasted conditions or problems. • Evaluate and forecast changes in the incident through: - Visual factors (is the incident problem getting better or worse) - Feedback from division/groups and safety officers - Progress Reports (CAAN, Completion, Exception) - Make adjustments or regroup—go defensive
Command Function #7 IC Checklist: Quickly provide "salvage command" if necessary. - Natural system escalation is dependent on IC #1. - Reality--life won’t always be so perfect for IC #2. - Take charge (transfer command) - Evaluate conditions to determine correct strategy, scope of the problem and current IAP. - Regain control using PAR and CAAN reports. - Validate IAP before supporting operation. - Assign division/group responsibilities, or - Change strategy and pull everyone out.
