SETS REPS DEPLOYMENT
2
The IC is responsible for the initial ongoing
deployment of the resources REQUIRED to support
all phases of Incident operations.
3
ICs must maintain an awareness of the standard
TFS response levels, apparatus capabilities and
available specialty apparatus. (know your
resources)
4
The Deployment process starts with Communications
dispatching the appropriate level of resource for
the problem described by the caller (our
customer).
5
The process continues with the 1st arriving IC
performing an initial Size-Up of Incident
conditions to determine what resources are
required to stabilize the Incident. (what do you
need?)
6
The Deployment of resources requires the IC to

• Request
• Assign
• Track
• Rotate
• Rehab
• Clear crews as the Incident downgrades

7
One of the most critical pieces of the Deployment
process is for additional responding Apparatus to
report to a Base Sector and wait to be assigned
by the IC. (Controlled arrival)
8
On Scene Crew Status
Unassigned

• On Deck
• Relief Cycle
• Reinforce
• RIT

• Staged
• Rehabbing
• Rehabbed / Ready to go

• Assigned
• Initial crews
• To a sector

9
Teams being assigned at all incidents must
operate within the TFS Incident Management System
to ensure accountability and an effective command
structure. NO Freelancing
10
Command needs to have a realistic awareness of
the number of required tasks, their priority, and
the time needed to complete those tasks prior to
assigning crews to the hazard area.
11
Once assigning units to the Fire Ground, the IC
must track, account for, and manage the Work /
Rest cycle of all crews. (FF Safety/Air
Management)
12

• The ICs level of organizational support needs to
  match the deployment of Incident resources
• (span of control)
• Sectors
• Command Team
• Branches

13
Sets Reps

• Based on the following scenarios
• Estimate the amount of resources (alarm level)
  that will be required to stabilize the Incident
• The specific tasks that will be required to
  stabilize the Incident
• How long it will take to get companies to where
  the work needs to be done
• The tactical reserve needed to conduct safe
  operations
