  1. To determine the resources required to control the situation and to provide for the timely call for any additional resources required. The early call for additional resources will tend to consistently save the day.
  2. Command must be aware of both the capability and response time of additional resources and effectively integrate these facts into calls for additional resources.
  3. Some tactical situations move slowly, while some move very quickly. Command must call for additional resource at a rate that stays ahead of the incident.
  4. Some situations require the categorical call for additional alarms or upgrading an assignment upon knowledge of particular characteristics or conditions; in other situations, Command will initiate some fire control activities, ask for reports and, based upon receipt of bad news, will strike more alarms.
