An incident action plan outlines the objectives and tactics for responding to an emergency incident. It determines whether the response will be offensive or defensive based on a risk-benefit analysis of life safety, extinguishment, and resource capabilities. The plan must remain flexible to changing conditions and be communicated to all responding units.

Smart TV Buyer Insights Survey 2024 by 91mobiles.pdf91mobiles
91mobiles recently conducted a Smart TV Buyer Insights Survey in which we asked over 3,000 respondents about the TV they own, aspects they look at on a new TV, and their TV buying preferences.
2. 3
Learning Objectives (1 of 2)
• Describe how extinguishment is both an
operational priority and tactical objective
with an emphasis on the relationship
between life safety and extinguishment.
• Evaluate conditions leading to an
offensive or defensive operation.
3. 3
Learning Objectives (2 of 2)
• Compare probability of occupant
survival to fire and building conditions.
• List situations when a written incident
action plan is needed.
• Use a case study or actual fire to
develop an incident action plan based
on a risk-versus-benefit analysis.
4. 3
Overview (1 of 3)
• Incident Action Plan (IAP) development
– Leads to offensive or defensive tactics
– Derived from an analytical approach to
information gained through size-up
– Should be a simple, concise,
straightforward, easy-to-understand
– Outlines major tactical objectives
– Provides the central focus for operations
5. 3
Overview (2 of 3)
• Size-up
– Continuous process
– IAP must remain flexible
– Tactics modified as conditions change
• All activities should lead to completion
of major objectives identified in the IAP.
6. 3
Overview (3 of 3)
• Primary strategic considerations
– Life safety
– Extinguishment
– Property conservation
• With sufficient resources, priorities can
be handled simultaneously.
• Extinguishment is normally the most
important life safety tactic.
7. 3
Determining Life Safety Needs
• Structural firefighting primary objective:
saving lives
– Life safety is the first consideration.
8. 3
Evaluating Structural
Conditions
• Structural conditions bear heavily on
offensive/defensive decision.
• Interior attack should not be conducted
in an unsafe building.
• Offensive attack is conducted to assist
occupants from the building.
– Reevaluation is necessary once the
building is evacuated.
9. 3
Estimating Resource Capability
and Requirements (1 of 2)
• Comparing resource capability to
incident requirements during size-up
• The IC must
– Apply sound risk management principles to
ensure fire fighter safety
– When developing a plan, decide what will
be needed to conduct an offensive attack
11. 3
Offensive Fire Attack
• Lives and property are best saved by
conducting an offensive attack.
• A lack of resources could lead to a
defensive decision.
12. 3
Developing an
Offensive/Defensive IAP (1 of 3)
• Entire operation is governed by the
offensive/defensive decision
– Initiate an offensive attack whenever it is
safe to do so.
13. 3
Developing an
Offensive/Defensive IAP (2 of 3)
• Master stream appliances used to:
– Support rescue efforts
– Push fire away from critical evacuation
routes
– Cover exposures
• During an offensive operation,
coordinate through command.
14. 3
Developing an
Offensive/Defensive IAP (3 of 3)
• Offensive changes to defensive
– Actions must be coordinated
– Must never be both
15. 3
Formulating an IAP (1 of 3)
• IC
– Sets the objectives
– Decides on tactics necessary to achieve
those objectives
– Assigns units to complete the tasks
associated with each objective and tactic
16. 3
Formulating an IAP (2 of 3)
• Focus of the entire operation
• Tactics are directed toward completing
the objectives.
• Objectives are directed toward
accomplishing the overall IAP.
• Should be simple and understandable
17. 3
Formulating an IAP (3 of 3)
• Every incident needs some form of
incident action plan.
– Small incidents of short duration: unwritten
plan.
– Larger, more complex incidents: written
plan provides a central focus, eliminates
confusion, and reduces disputes
18. 3
Written IAP
• Written action plan should be used
when:
– Resources from multiple agencies are
being used.
– Several jurisdictions are involved.
– Incident requires more than initial transfer
of command.
19. 3
Developing an IAP (1 of 2)
• IC establishes objectives.
• Unified command: objectives must
reflect the policies and needs of all
agencies
• IAP becomes more important as the
incident grows in size.
21. 3
Deployment
• Writing tactical objectives is useless
without sufficient resources.
• ICs must follow up and request status
reports.
• Company-level officers must provide
status reports.
22. 3
Risk Versus Benefit Analysis
• Risk refers to the risk to fire fighters, not
the risk to occupants.
• Benefit is the expected or potential
benefit to occupants or owners.
– Rescuing occupants would be a life safety
benefit.
23. 3
Scenario 1: Single Family
Detached Dwelling (1 of 2)
• Majority of fires in the US
• SOPs may spell out duties of first alarm
assignment.
– IC may need to modify operations
• When SOPs are not being followed
• When the procedures do not fit circumstances
24. 3
Scenario 1: Single Family
Detached Dwelling (2 of 2)
• No fire should ever be considered
routine.
– Primary reason for conducting an offensive
operation is life safety.
– Risk is associated with any offensive
operation.
• Usually less in a single-family dwelling versus a
larger occupancy
25. 3
Structural Stability (1 of 2)
• Frame building
– Fairly unstable structure and contributes
significant fuel to fire.
– Will have considerable fire involvement
before collapse
• Exception of truss roof and floor construction
– Combustible characteristics of building
provide stability clues.
26. 3
Structural Stability (2 of 2)
• Caution should be used when venting
roofs of modern residential buildings.
• Roof ventilation not normally required if
the fire is not in upper floor or attic
– Stable platform or a roof ladder for roof
access
27. 3
Scenario 2: High-Rise
Apartment Building (1 of 5)
• Greater risk than single-family detached
dwelling due to:
– Number and location of occupants beyond
the reach of aerial ladders and towers
– Difficulty in ventilating building
28. 3
Scenario 2: High-Rise
Apartment Building (2 of 5)
• Size, complexity and danger increase.
• Operations are complicated by:
– Extreme temperatures
– Strong winds
– Blocked stairways
– Locked passageways
– Other factors
• Properly installed, working sprinkler system
reduces danger.
29. 3
Scenario 2: High-Rise
Apartment Building (3 of 5)
• Buildings pose extreme life hazards due
to type of occupancy.
– Office buildings (thousands of people)
– Large residential buildings (hundreds of
families, elderly residents)
• Evacuation is more labor-intensive.
30. 3
Scenario 2: High-Rise
Apartment Building (4 of 5)
• Fire conditions could be similar to single
family detached dwelling.
– Challenges will be more complex.
• Occupants on fire floor and floors above can be
threatened by the smoke and fire.
– Resource needs are much greater.
31. 3
Scenario 2: High-Rise
Apartment Building (5 of 5)
• Fire could be located several floors
above grade level.
– More complex and difficult
• Many floors above fire could be
occupied.
– Search and rescue necessary on many
different levels
32. 3
Scenario 3: Church Fires (1 of 3)
• Large, open area to accommodate the
congregation and altar.
• Structural collapse is probable if fire
reaches roof structure.
• Require an unusually high rate of flow
• Use 2½″ (64-mm) or 3″ (76-mm) hand
lines with solid streams to obtain the
necessary reach.
33. 3
Scenario 3: Church Fires (2 of 3)
• During times when people congregate,
life safety is a key tactical consideration.
• Long periods of time when the buildings
are unoccupied
– Fire can gain considerable headway before
it is noticed
34. 3
Scenario 3: Church Fires (3 of 3)
• Many are not protected by fire
suppression systems or automatic
alarms.
• Older churches may house priceless
valuables.
35. 3
Summary (1 of 2)
• An IAP is critical to meeting the three
priorities:
– Life safety
– Extinguishment
– Property conservation
36. 3
Summary (2 of 2)
• Safety can be addressed while meeting
these priorities.
– Requires sound application of risk
management techniques
