  2. MODULE 1:INTRODUCTION

  3. Module 1Overview OBJECTIVES Explain the purpose and use of the Communications Model and the Quick Access Prefire Plan in tactical operations at fire incidents. Communications Review of Quick Access Prefire Plan (QAP) Define the relationship between incident priorities, strategy, tactics, and implementation. Review of the Command Sequence Risk/Benefit Evaluation

  4. Module 1Overview OBJECTIVES Select the appropriate strategic mode, based upon consideration of risk/benefit and available resources. Strategic Model Describe the six steps required to implement the Tactical Action Model. Tactical Action Model Apparatus Placement List the factors on which apparatus placement is based.

  10. Course Goal MCTO: Tactics is designed to develop the management skills needed by Company Officers to accomplish assigned tactics at structure fires

  11. Target Audience • Company Officers • Specifically for newly appointed officers • Review for experienced officers • Firefighters who may have acting Company Officer responsibilities

  12. Activities and Scenarios All activities and scenarios used in this course are based on structure fires in buildings of three stories or less

  18. THECOMMANDSEQUENCE

  19. Command Sequence-- Incident Priorities • Life safety • Incident stabilization • Property conservation

  20. Command Sequence-- Incident Priorities (cont'd) • Define the mission of the fire department • Basis of command sequence

  21. Command Sequence A three-phase decisionmaking process used to determine how incident priorities are achieved.

  28. Conditions: Alarm at 0245 hours. Fire on floor 1 of a 2-story single-family dwelling of wood-frame construction. Victim reported on 2nd floor.

  29. Problems: Rescue of possible victim(s), fire on 1st floor, and spread of heat, smoke, and fire to 2nd floor, additional damage to structure.

  30. Initial Strategy: • Rescue victim on 2nd floor and conduct primary search.

  31. Tactics: • Primary search entire dwelling. • Evacuate occupants. • Protect means of egress from 2nd floor. • Horizontal ventilation.

  32. Conduct right-hand search on 2nd floor. • Do primary search of 1st floor. • Advance 1-3/4" handline between fire and stairway. • Provide 1-3/4" protective line for search crew. • Provide positive-pressure horizontal ventilation on 1st and 2nd floors. • Place ladder to 2nd floor window away from fire for secondary means of egress.

  33. RISK/BENEFITEVALUATION

  34. Risk/Benefit Evaluation • IC must determine if risks taken are worth the benefits gained • COs must also make risk/benefit judgments • COs must be sensitive to and communicate changing conditions to those potentially affected

  35. STRATEGIC MODE

  36. Strategic Mode Choice based on: • Risk/Benefit evaluation • Assessment of required and available resources

  37. Strategic Modes • Offensive • Defensive • Transitional

  38. TACTICAL ACTION MODEL

  39. Tactical Action Model • Six-step process • CO receives and implements a tactical or task order

  40. Receive a Tactical or Task Order--(Step 1) • Assignment of tactic or • Assignment of tasks

  41. Conduct a Tactical Sizeup--(Step 2) • Assign resources based on key tactical decisions and on available resources • Sizeup provides information to make tactical decisions • Sizeup affects tactical assignment • Identify tactical problems • Prioritize tactical problems • Evaluate resources

  42. Assign Tasks--(Step 3) • The CO assigns tasks to firefighters • Firefighters operate within plan established by CO • Standard tactical evolutions simplify task assignments • Communications must be clear and specific

  43. Take Action—(Step 4) • Complete the tactical assignment • Maintain crew integrity • Communicate to coordinate

  44. Evaluate Tactical Operations--(Step 5) • Is it working? • Do I need more resources? • Can I release any resources? • Is there any hazard that prevents completion of my assignment?

  45. Report to Supervisor--(Step 6) • When tactical assignment cannot be completed • When assignment is completed • When additional resources are needed to complete assignment

  46. Report to Supervisor (cont'd) • When resources can be released • When emergency or hazardous condition exists that affects tactical assignment • On a periodic basic

  47. Tactical Action Model Summary Step 1: Receive tactical or task order Step 2: Conduct a tactical sizeup Step 3: Assign tasks Step 4: Take action to complete tactical assignment Step 5: Evaluate effectiveness of tactical operations Step 6: Report to supervisor on effectiveness of tactical operations

  48. APPARATUSPLACEMENT

  49. Apparatus Placement Based on fire factors: • Strategic mode • SOPs for first-arriving companies • Prearranged staging procedures Direct order from IC • Decision made by CO upon arrival
