System command
Within the decision domain system command, the definition of
the organization’s role is continually updated in relation to the
situation at hand and to the operations of other organ isations.
This role in the municipal structure for providing rescue services
is based naturally on applicable rules and regul ations, but also
on social and professional valuation, ethics and morals, the work
culture within the organisation and not least its proficiency. The
roles of other organisations also have a bearing on how the or-
ganisation should be configured. The fire brigade is one of many
societal services that citizens come into direct contact with in
various situations, not least in connection with emergencies. It
is therefore important that the position the fire brigade fills is
configured in relation to the roles of the other entities playing
a part in the situation. Since circumstances change continually,
the system needs to adapt its activities, and therefore its role, to
suit, also continually. Therefore system command must regularly
redefine the entire organisation’s role in relation to the situation
and to the other relevant organisations in the community. SuchSystem command
