automatic aid system
the central arizona life safety system response council (CALSSRC), automatic aid system is a
consortium of governments (city, towns, governments) joined by an inter-governmental
agreement upon which the participants agree to operationally act as one entity for the purpose of
improved fire/rescue/emergency medical services.
customer
CALSSR defines the customer as, any person who receives our services and anyone with who
our members have dealings
responsibilities of command
the incident commander is responsible for the completion of the tactical objectives. the tactical
objectives are:
- rescue
- fire control
- property conservation
establishing command
the first fire department member or unit to arrive at the scene of a multiple unit response shall
assume command of the incident. the initial incident commander shall remain in command until
command is transferred, or the incident is stabilized an command is terminated.
,when you don't need to assume command
1 or 2 company responses that are not going to escalate behind the commitment of these
companies do not require the first arriving unit or officer to assume command. the first arriving
unit or officer will, however remain responsible for any needed command functions. example
- single unit response
- check hazard
- any ems call requiring only on or two companies
investigativ mode (nothing showing)
this is a mobile IC on a portable radio, moving around and evaluating conditions while looking
for the incident problem. the company officer should go with the company to investigate while
utilizing a portable radio to command the incident.
fast attack
visible working fires in houses or commercial occupancies. IC #1 arrives and his direct
participation in the attack will make a positive difference in the outcome (search and rescue, fire
control, and crew safety).
IC #1 goes inside (when in offensive mode) with a portable radio supervising their crew in the
attack
the first attack mobile command mode should not last more than a few minutes and will
end with one of the following...
- situation is stabilized
- command is transferred from the fast attack company officer IC to a later arriving command
,officer
- if the situation is not stabilized, the fast attack company officer IC must move to an exterior
(stationary) command position and is now in the command mode
if the company officer assumes the command mode.....
the following options are available with regards to the assignment of the remaining crew
members
1. move up an acting officer within the company
2. assigned the crew members to perform staff functions to assist the IC
3. assigned company personnel to another company
incident management team (IMT)
when an incident is so large or of such duration that state or federal resources are called to assist,
an incident management team may be assigned to manage these resources. in this case the local
jurisdiction having authority (JHA) will maintain command or delegate authority for managing
resources to the IMT.
AWOL command
should a situation occur were a later arriving company or command officer cannot locate or
communicate with command (after several radio attempts), they will assume and announce their
assumption of command and initiate whatever actions are necessary to confirm the safety of the
missing crew
transfer command
, the officer assuming command (IC #2) will communicate with the person being relieved (IC #1)
by radio or face to face. face to face is the preferred method to transfer command
- command shall not be transferred to an officer who is not on the scene
transfer of command
the arrival of a ranking officer on the incident scene does not mean that command has been
automatically transferred to that officer. command is only transferred when the transfer of
command process has been completed
strengthening the command organization
- improves safety
- decreases the span of control
- improves communication
- improves accountability
- improves management and supervision of the sector
command officers/staff personnel arrival
command officers should stage over the radio. staff personnel should report directly to command
post to notify the IC of their availability to assume incident duties. these personnel should park
their vehicles in a location that does not restrict access to the scene.
the IC is responsible for managing the incident
simply stated, the IC outranks everybody. if a higher ranking officer wants to affect a change in
the management of an incident, he must first be on the scene of the incident, and then follow the
transfer of command procedure.
