This task was complex by nature and required uncountable hours dedicated to research and development of the Incident Management procedures. A common Incident Management System assures for the safety of all our fire-rescue career professionals and provides the template for making sound incident command decisions by our fire service officers mitigating a multitude of emergency scene operations. The Incident Management System is considered a “living document” and assuredly will be subject to future additions, deletions, and revisions surrounding the ever changing technology and emergency scene operating principles. Despite the detailed development of the Seminole County Incident Management System, we recognize there will be those unusual circumstances that occur while mitigating emergency scene operations requiring flexibility for the command staff to adjust to the environment occurring to assure for the safety of our personnel. We take great pride in the abilities of our command staff and all of our fire service professionals and recognize the importance of cooperation among all First Response agencies. The development of the Incident Management System is a reflection of the spirit of cooperation to accomplish a common goal. Thank you to all who contributed to the development of this program.

NIMS is utilized by the Federal Government and is recognized and recommended by the Florida Fire Chiefs’ Association as the standard Incident Command System. In addition, certain portions of this manual have been adapted from Firescope, Phoenix Fireground Command System, Florida Incident Field Operations Guide and the National Fire Service Incident Management System Consortium. General: Under the Incident Management System, (IMS), the ultimate control and direction of all emergency response resources falls under a single individual, the Incident Commander, except where a Unified Command or Area Command is established. Incident Command is responsible for the overall incident response effort and the implementation of the appropriate portions of this plan. This command system is quite flexible in that the incident commander can activate, consolidate, or delete various positions depending on the needs of the incident. Although this structure is designed for full or partial implementation, it is important that all position roles are reviewed to ensure vital functions are not overlooked. 2.1 NIMS: It is recommended that the person ultimately taking command at an incident be a chief officer or other qualified individual, highly trained and skilled in the Incident Management System. The Incident Management System is not rank structured, but can be filled from whatever positions are best suited for the needs of the individual department. The degree of plan implementation will again depend upon the nature and magnitude of the incident. The following pages outline the roles and responsibilities of the various areas of the command structure. The IMS organizational structure develops in a modular fashion based on the kind and size of an incident. The organization’s staff builds from the top down with the responsibility and performance placed initially with the Incident Commander. As the need exists, four separate sections can be deployed, each with several units that may be established. The General Staff positions are: Operations Planning Logistics Administration (Finance) In addition to these four sections, Command Staff may include the following: Safety Officer Public Information Officer (PIO) Liaison Officer Incident Command Aide Seminole County & Cities Incident Management System Incident Management System - Seminole County and Cities Seminole County & Cities Incident Management System Title: Organization/ Command Issue Date: Jan.December 1, 2017 31, 2010 Structure Revision Date: Small Structure Fire, HazMat Incident, or EMS Response First Alarm Units COMMAND Tech 1 Safety Tower ENGINE ENGINE ENGINE Rescue Rescue Seminole County & Cities Incident Management System Incident Management System - Seminole County and Cities Second Alarm Units Second Alarm Units COMMAND COMMAND Strategic Strategic Tech 1 Tech 1 DIVISION DIVISION GROUP Tactical DIVISION DIVISION GROUP Tactical UNITS UNITS UNITS UNITS UNITS UNITSTask Task Section: 2.2 Seminole County & Cities Incident ManagementSeminole System County & Cities Incident Management System Incident Management System - Seminole County and Cities Section: 2.2 Incident Management System - Seminole County and Cities Seminole County & Cities Incident Management System Title: Area Command Issue Date: DecemberJan. 1, 2017 31, 2010 Revision Date: 2.3 Location: Area Command Post Recommended Staffing: Most qualified in management of large complex incidents with respect to their functional areas. Reports to: Agency Administration Activation: Multiple simultaneous alarms with implementation of Incident Management System in same geographical area. The complexity and span or control of an incident warrants. Critical life saving or property values are at risk and incidents are utilizing limited resources. The incidents will continue into the next operational period. Purpose: Oversee the management of incident(s), focusing on strategic assistance, direction, and resolving competition for resources. This position does not supersede any Incident Commanders or Unified Commands, but supports and provides strategic direction. Responsibilities: The overall direction and setting of priorities for Incident Management Teams (IMTs) assigned to incidents in close proximity or large complex incidents. This includes ensuring that conflicts are resolved, that incident objectives are established and that strategies are selected for the use of critical resources. The Area commander has the responsibility to coordinate with local, state, federal and volunteer assisting and/or cooperating organizations. Procedures: Arrive in area and establish Area Command. Establish appropriate location for
