Fire Officer Strategy and Tactics Practical Skills Exercise Opera House Simulation
Purpose of Scenario • The purpose of this scenario is to familiarize and orientate the student to the principles of: • Size up • Strategic Options • Tactical Decisions • Task Assignments The actions you implement should be for the first 15 minutes of fireground operations. IDHS: Leadership for a Safe and Secure Indiana
Purpose of Scenario cont. • Using a command chart the student shall document the command / general staff they would staff for the specific situation. • Develop an incident action plan that describes the tactics and tasks you will implement in the first 15 minutes of fireground operations. • Decision making process
Purpose of Scenario cont. • Complete a risk – benefit analysis based upon the facts and probabilities presented. • Develop a quick access preplan for a specific occupancy. • Calculated the needed fire flow based upon the scenario utilized. • Calculate the total water flow needed for the specific scenario.
Instructions • Each student should have a #2 pencil for the practical skills. • Each student shall have a Command Chart a Strategy and Tactics Worksheet and a size up worksheet. • The student is going to use the resources listed on the Strategy & Tactics worksheet for the staffing component and apparatus available to complete the sizeup, implement a strategy and complete an action plan.
Instructions • Each student shall prepare to serve as the Incident Commander for a structure fire scenario. • Each student shall prepare to serve as the Incident Commander. • Each student will complete a sizeup of the fire problem on the form provided. • Each student will develop an action plan on the form provided. • Student will have 30 minutes after the completion of the picture scenario to complete the size up analysis, command chart and action plan. • Each student should have a command chart a strategy & tactics worksheet and a size up action plan chart.
Instructions • There are pictures of each scenario. • The pictures show the four sides of the structure. • The picture will also show you where the fire and smoke is located. • Instructor turn off room lights as the program begins. • Each picture will be on the screen for 30 seconds. • Students may begin writing notes about what they see during each slide. • Don’t wait until the end to begin writing your observations.
Instructions • Before we begin the scenario we will give you a 2 minute look at the building before the fire. This gives you some information about the building location, occupancy and exposures.
Instructions • There are more facts and probabilities to consider when doing size up for commercial occupancies. • The instructor can alter the occupant and witness statements and whether it is a daytime or nighttime scenario. • The buildings would normally be occupied during the day and you would have occupants outside in real life. • Provide the students a paper copy of the overhead site plan with individual dimensions of each occupancy. • This will allow them to compute the fire flow more accurately since you have to consider adjacent exposures in the calculation.
Basic Pre-Plan Information • Downtown Building • 100 years old • 60’ x 80’ x 2 stories • Commercial Occupancies • Opera House • Dry Cleaners • Income Tax Service
