What considerations and benchmarks should be used to outline an IAP?
1.Size up of critical FG Factors
2.Risk Management Profile
3.Declare strategy
4.Tactical Priorities
Opening statement for IAP
To develop an IAP, I will declare a strategy based on a size up of the critical FG factors and utilizing the risk management profile. I base my IAP on how I am going to complete the benchmarks of the tactical priorities.
When asked “what is your IAP” what is the first thing that should be addressed?
Strategy
While working in the OFFENSIVE strategy, to address life safety…
•complete a 360 looking for hazards and flow paths and will close them if possible
• knock down/reset fire from ext b4 entry to create a more tenable space and aid with SRFA
•update alarm of 360/knockdown and advise of hazards
•conduct an aggressive and systematic primary w/ a hoseline removing/treating any victims we may find
While working in the DEFENSIVE strategy, to address life safety…
•Prioritize firefighter safety
•Evacuate exposures
•Apply water from exterior positions
•Support removal of occupants from exposures
While working in the OFFENSIVE strategy, to address incident stabilization …
•Est 2 supply lines and 2 attack lines supported by coordinated vent
•support sprinkler system as appropriate
While working in the DEFENSIVE strategy, to address incident stabilization …
•Est 2 supply lines and large def lines/master streams
•Position master streams to to protect exposures
While working in the OFFENSIVE strategy, to address property conservation…
•start early salvage
•checking for extensions
•good overhaul
•assure utilities are secured
While working in the DEFENSIVE strategy, to address property conservation…
•Evaluate salvage needs of exposures
•Designate an evac area supported by an occupant services sector
While working in the OFFENSIVE strategy, to address firefighter safety …
•ensure a strong command presence
•set up IRIC and on deck as soon as is safe and reasonable
•accountability system and locations
•Est a safety officer
•set up rehab
•recycle crews when appropriate
•consider a hot wash
•complete exposure reports
•Decon ppe and personnel
•FF safety is ongoing and need to continue being addressed after the call
While working in the DEFENSIVE strategy, to address firefighter safety …
•Obtaining PARs and locations of all crews
•multiple supply lines and master streams
•ensuring no hand lines in collapse zones
•recycle crews as appropriate
•est rehab
To address customer stabilization in both OFF/DEF strategies…
•Est an occupant services sector
•request Red Cross, Board up,city services, etc.
•continued salvage
•Live by “We Care for You” and ensure that we have done everything possible to assist and support
Critical FG factors
•Buldling
•Fire
•Occupancy
•Life hazard
•Arrangement
•Resources
•Special circumstances
Risk management profile
•Green
•Yellow
•Red
Strategy is based on what factors related to the scene?
•The building
•Structural integrity
•Fire load
•Fire/Smoke conditions
•Rescue profile
What are the Tactical priorities
1.Life Safety
2.Incident Stabilization
3.Property Conservation
4.FF safety
5.Costumer Stabilization
