Q. What is an IAP fire?
The Incident Action Plan (IAP) map is the primary map used by field operations personnel and it is an essential tool for firefighter safety. The IAP map effectively communicates incident management objectives in addition to geographic and incident features.
Q. What are the tactical priorities in a structure fire?
The tactical priorities of Rescue, Fire Control, and Property Conversation are clear, measurable and obtainable objectives. These objectives are considered complete when the benchmarks are transmitted.
Q. What is the highest priority on a fire scene?
Fire Operations: Life safety is the highest priority at all structure fires. However, the potential for life loss is most prominent in residential occupancies. This objective should be achieved through aggressive interior fire containment and primary search.
