Tactics, command, leadership

(Axel Boer) #1

During a fire in a department store in Allmänsta, a BA firefighter has been
allocated the task of entering a storage area which is on fire. From inside the
stores the group shall cool combustion gases to prevent aggravation of the
fire.
At the same time the situation has escalated, demanding extra resources
and an expansion of the reorganisation. The above task, however, remains
to be carried out. A number of significant limitation lines have been formed
involving several similar tasks.
The task issued by the incident commander to the commander for such a
limitation line could be:



  • Prevent the fire spreading in an easterly direction.

  • This is to be done by establishing a limitation line between Storgatan and
    Drottninggatan.

  • The time aspect is also here not stipulated, but the task shall be
    implemented immediately.

  • Units x, y and z can be used.

  • The work shall be oriented towards increasing the resistance of or rein-
    forcing dividing sections.


Note also that within the framework of this division of the task (to
establish the limitation line) a previous task allocated to, for example, BA
firefighters, may still be applicable.
