Record Today�’s ERC or BI of Unit Here:
Establish trigger points early rather than late. Identify current and projected hazards and make them known. Identify Safety Zones and Escape Routes as early as possible. Account for both public and Firefighter Safety. Maintain a high situational awareness and keep an eye on the Big Picture! Monitor success frequently! Primary Plan �– Establish a solid plan of attack that addresses all aspects of safe incident suppression actions! Alternate Plan �– While suppression efforts are implemented, have alternatives in the event of escape! Contingency Plan �– In the event of failure on the first suppression efforts, reorganize your strategy and tactics! Emergency Plan �– Know when to retreat. Sound the alarm early rather than late. Utilize Escape & Safety Zones!
URBAN INTERFACE WATCHOUTS! Poor access and narrow one-way roads Bridge load limits Wooden construction and wood shake roofs Inadequate water supply Natural fuels 30�’ or closer to structures Structures in chimneys & Chutes Extreme fire behavior Evacuation of public (Panic / Traffic)
HAZARD EVALUATION 18 Situations that shout �“Watch Out!�”
HAZARD CONTROL 10 Standard Firefighting Orders
Yes
No
Keep informed on fire weather
conditions and forecasts. Know what the fire is doing at all times. Base all actions on current and
expected fire behavior. Have escape routes and safety zones,
and make sure they are known. Post a lookout when there is possible
danger. Be alert, keep calm, think clearly and act
decisively. Maintain prompt communications with
your forces, your supervisor and adjoining forces
Give clear instructions and be sure they are understood.
Maintain control of your forces at all times.
Fight fire aggressively, but provide for safety first.
Fire not scouted and sized up.
In country not seen in daylight. Safety zones and escape routes not identified. Unfamiliar with weather and local factors influencing fire
behavior Uninformed on strategy, tactics, and hazards. Instructions and assignments not clear. No communication link with crew members/supervisor. Constructing fireline downhill with fire below. Building Fire Line without a safe anchor point. Attempting frontal assault on fire. Unburned fuel between you and the fire. Cannot see main fire, not in contact with anyone who
can. On a hillside where rolling material can ignite fuel below. Weather is getting hotter and drier. Wing increases and/or changes directions. Getting frequent spot fires across line. Terrain and fuels make escape to safety zones difficult. Taking nap near fireline.
L C E S COMPLIANCE Yes No DECISION POINTS
Have you complied with LCES? Lookouts Communications Escape Routes Safety Zones
Controls in place for identified hazards? If no, reassess your situation.
Are selected tactics based on expected fire behavior? If no, reassess your situation.
Have instructions been given and understood? If no, reassess your situation.

Release Date: January 2004 �“Red Book�” Type 4 Incident 1) Command staff and general staff functions are not activated. 2) Resources are local and vary from a single module to several resources. 3) The incident is usually limited to one operational period in the control phase. 4) No written incident action plan (IAP) is required. However, a documented operational briefing will be completed for all incoming resources Extended Attack Type 3 Incident 1) Resources are usually local and some or all of the command and general staff positions may be activated, usually at the division/group supervisor and/or unit leader level. Units may have a predetermined Type 3 organization designated. 2) Type 3 organizations manage initial attack fires with a significant number of resources, an extended attack fire until containment/control is achieved, or an escaped fire until a Type 1 or 2 team assumes command. 3) Initial briefing and closeout are more formal. 4) Resources vary from several resources to several task forces/strike teams. 5) The incident may be divided into divisions. 6) The incident may involve multiple operational periods prior to control, which may require a written Incident Action Plan (IAP). 7) A documented operational briefing will be completed for all incoming resources, and before each operational period. Refer to Incident Response Pocket Guide for outline. 8) Staging areas and a base may be used. 9) By completing an Incident Complexity Analysis, a fire manager can assess the hazards and complexities of an incident and determine the specific positions needed (e.g., if sensitive public/media relationships are evident, then an information officer should be ordered as part of the team). INCIDENT MANAGEMENT CHAPTER 11 10) When using a Type 3 organization or incident command organization, a manager must avoid using them beyond the Type 3 complexity level. 11) A Type 3 IC will not serve concurrently as a single resource boss.

CRITIQUED BY: (List names of attendees)
The purpose of this After Action Review is to evaluate decisions, actions and how well they worked. Were they within the Standard Operating Procedure and the rules?
AAR Leader Signature: Date:
Reviewed by: Date: COMMENTS: What was planned? �• Review the primary objectives and expected action plan.
What actually happened? �• Review the day�’s actions: Identify and discuss effective and non effective performance.
Identify barriers that were encountered and how they were handled.
Discuss all actions that were not standard operating procedure, or those that presented safety problems.
Why did it happen? �• Discuss the reasons for ineffective or unsafe performance. Concentrate on WHAT, not WHO is right.
What can we do next time? �• Determine lessons learned and how to apply them in the future.
