Managing Company Tactical Objectives TacticsModule 1: Introduction
OBJECTIVES Module 1 Explain the purpose and use of the Communication Model and the Quick Access Prefire Plan in tactical operations at fire incidents Define the relationship between incident priorities, strategy, tactics, and implementation in the command sequence.
OBJECTIVES Module 1 Select the appropriate strategic mode, based upon consideration of risk/benefit and available resources. Describe the six steps required to implement the Tactical Action Model List the factors on which apparatus placement is based.
MCTO: Tactics Module 1: Introduction Module 2: Ventilation and Rescue Module 3: Fire Confinement and Extinguishment Module 4: Water Supply and Exposure Protection Module 5: Salvage, Overhaul, and Support Activities Module 6: Private Dwelling Simulations
Course Goal MCTO: Tactics is designed to develop the management skills needed by Company Officers to accomplish assigned tactics at structure fires.
Activities and Scenarios All activities and scenarios used in this course are based on AFD policies and procedures.
Step One: The sender formulates an idea that he/she wants to convey to another person.Step Two: The sender sends the message.Step Three: The message is transferred through a median – oral, visual, or written.Step Four: The receiver receives the message.Step Five: The receiver interprets the message.Step Six: The receiver confirms that the message has been received and understood by providing feedback to the sender.
Command Sequence--Incident Priorities • Life safety • Incident stabilization • Property conservation
Command Sequence--Incident Priorities (cont’d) • Define the mission of the fire department • Basis of command sequence
Command Sequence A three-phase decisionmaking process used to determine how incident priorities are achieved. Think - Plan - Act

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
Strategic Modes • Offensive • Defensive • Transitional
Tactical Action Model • A logical six-step process whereby the company officer receives and implements a tactical or task order
Receive a Tactical or Task Order--(Step 1) • Assignment of tactic or • Assignment of tasks
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
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
Take Action--(Step 4) • Complete the tactical assignment • Maintain crew integrity • Communicate to coordinate
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?
Report to Supervisor--(Step 6) • When tactical assignment cannot be completed • When assignment is completed • When additional resources are needed to complete assignment • When resources can be released • When emergency or hazardous condition exists that affects tactical assignment • On a periodic basis
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
Apparatus Placement Based on five factors: • Strategic mode • SOPs for first-arriving companies • Prearranged staging procedures • Direct order from IC • Decision made by CO upon arrival
Placement Considerations • General considerations • Critical operations factors • General rules • Tactical assignments that dictate placement
Summary • Communication • Review of Quick Access Prefire Plan • Review of command sequence • Risk/Benefit evaluation • Strategic mode • Tactical Action Model • Apparatus Placement
