Initial Size-Up Reports for First-Due Incident Commanders (Room 138-139)

10 Apr 19
1:30 PM - 3:15 PM

Tracks: Incident Management

This class covers the initial on-scene size-up for the first-arriving officer and sets the framework for the entire fireground experience from assessing the incident scene arrival information and setting up an incident management system organization. Through lecture and scenario assessment, the students learn to use a systematic mental checklist using the CASH acronym (Command, Actions, Size-Up, and Help) for on-scene size-up reports. Topics include the establishment of command, the 13-point size-up factors, actions of the first-due companies, and additional resources that will be needed. A plus for promotional exams.
