Incident Management for the Street-Smart Fire Officer, 2nd Edition

A no-nonsense basic approach to incident command to help understand, implement, or refine the Incident Management System in any department. IMS allows officers to anticipate needs, be in control, avoid a command breakdown, and look at the big picture while not missing the details.

Key concepts include: compliance guidelines for NFPA 1561 and the Model Procedures for Structural Firefighting. Real-life scenarios and outlines provide realistic examples.

Radio-transmission examples help anyone become familiar with effective communication techniques and avoid "radio clutter." Numerous flow charts, graphics, and photos show actual incidents, provide examples and illustrate command systems.
