The amount of time to request and obtain additional resources is a factor in determining additional resources needed. This time is called Evaluation time The lead/reflex time The resources time

The lead/reflex time

The size up process begins _____ thanks to Preincident planning When the incident is reported Before and incident is reported Upon arrival to the incident

Before an incident is reported

If transmitting a condition or arrival report by radio, the report should provide the first impression of the hazardous condition, Report the initial actions that the officer and unit take, and Report scene security Identify the types and locations of Barriers that could impede access to scene Five step by step directions to all on scene and responding units

The initial decision on scene may be seen as having three segments 1 if resources at the scene and those in route are adequate for the situation 2 How to deploy the resources already at the scene, most effective manner, 3 How to gain control of all aspects How to delegate power What to do with the resources that arrive (immediate or staging)

3 What to do with the resources that arrive (immediate or staging)

This information gathered in the size up process serves as a basis for making decisions and about how to manage the incident Initial actions plan (plan of operation) Plan of conduction Plan of attack

Physical evidence

To avoid disturbing, or destroying evidence, delay ____ until the origin and cause of the fire have been determined Extinguish operations Overhaul operations Salvage operations

Overhaul operations

This is done after the incident and focuses on the activities of the responders without placing blame or finding fault. This is called The analytics review The postincident analysis After hours report

The postincident analysis

A postincident analysis is Then presented to all participants during an _____ _____ _____.
