Structural fire fighting is the most hazardous work that fire fighters perform. A common element cited in almost every fire fighter fireground fatality report is a lack of effective "command". In Command Safety, Alan Brunacini shows you how to save lives by clearly defining the Incident Commander's roles and responsibilities in keeping fire fighters safe
Build safety into everyday operations to ensure that everyone goes home after the incident is completed!
This companion text to Brunacini's Fire Command uses the standard eight functions of command to explain step-by-step how the IC manages strategic level safety responsibilities to control hazard zone operations. Command Safety emphasizes that safety cannot be an "add on" and integrates strategic safety into the regular command functions to produce an understandable and doable local, safe and effective response.
Take a system-level approach to managing risks! Safety officers, rapid intervention crews, accountability systems and rehab sectors are all separate and critical pieces of any incident scene safety system. Each component falls under the IC's management umbrella--and that means they can only be as effective as the strategic level command support they receive from the IC.
For practical, hands-on incident management advice, nothing beats Command Safety! Easy to read and fully illustrated, Command Safety is a must for fire officers who operate within the incident management system. It's also extremely valuable for anyone who wants to understand the profound impact that the IC and the incident management system have on fire fighter safety.
