Using the Apparatus or Resources Module

The Apparatus or Resources Module (NFIRS-9) is an optional module that is used to help manage and track apparatus and resources used on incidents. The Personnel Module (NFIRS-10) should be used when details about apparatus and personnel are needed. Resource counts are not needed on the Basic Module (G1) if either the Apparatus or Resources Module or the Personnel Module is used.

Record information and details about the apparatus and/or resources used at an incident. This information is useful in determining actual apparatus requirements for different types of incidents and for different levels of incident severity as well as tracking times and actions taken by apparatus or resource type. Enter the type and identification number of each apparatus or resource used at the incident. If more than nine resources or apparatus were used, complete an additional NFIRS-9 module. Various types are grouped into the following categories: • Ground Fire Suppression; • Marine Equipment; • Heavy Ground Equipment; • Support Equipment; • Aircraft; and • Medical & Rescue. Please see the codes listed for this data element in the Quick Reference Guide (QRG).

SUMMARY

The Apparatus or Resources Module is used as a local option to identify the apparatus and personnel sent to an incident. If this module is used, it is not necessary to use the Personnel Module. On the paper form, lines are available to document nine pieces of apparatus and additional sheets can be used. This will document all apparatus that were used to control the incident, alarms, and district.

EXAMPLE: Vehicle Crash

Directions: Read the call information in the example below. Then look at the completed Apparatus or Resources Module form. Look at each section and follow along with the proper use of the information as applicable to the Apparatus or Resources Module. Engine 231 (three and one Captain), Rescue Unit 345 (two firefighters andone Lieutenant), and an EMT-Basic Unit 114 (two EMT’s) from Department FDID #TR131 (Station 10) are dispatched to 4125 N. Vine Avenue, Taylor, WI 12345, at 1215 hours on April 21, 2000, to an auto wreck – incident #9800789. All units arrive on the scene at 1218 hours. Engine 231 provides assistance with the extrication and patient loading. The crew also controls traffic. The male driver is trapped between the steering wheel and seat and must be extricated. Rescue Unit 345 performs the extrication. The driver is alert and complains of neck pain. It is obvious that he also suffers from a broken arm. He states that no other vehicles were involved and he is traveling alone. Unit 114 applies a “C” collar to the patient’s neck. The crew also splints his broken arm once he is removed from the vehicle. He is transported to the nearest emergency care facility by the BLS Unit at 1235. Engine 231 and Rescue 345 cleared the incident at 1245 hours. BLS 114 cleared the incident and was available for service at 1330.

Compare your work to the answers provided on the completed Apparatus or Resources Module form. If your answers are different from the ones provided, read over the Apparatus or Resources Module again. Engine 422 (three firefighters and one Captain), Engine 425 (two firefighters and one Lieutenant), Truck 42 (three firefighters and one Captain), and D/C 1 from FDID #TR100, Station #6, respond to a structure fire at 1326 Market Street, Eau Claire, WI on June 21, 2002 (Incident #670026). All units were dispatched at 2:39 a.m. Engine 422 arrives on location at 0241 hours and advances one 1-3/4-inch hoseline to the first floor and attacks the fire. The crew also searches for victims. D/C Depew arrives at 0242 and establishes command. Upon their arrival at 0243, the truck company splits into two crews. One crew performs search and rescue, and the other, ventilation. After the fire is knocked down, the company performs salvage and overhaul. Engine 425 - 0244 arrival - takes a hydrant and supplies Engine 422. They then advance a back- up line to the second floor and extinguish the fire that extended to the bedroom. Engine 422 cleared the scene at 0300 and was available for duty at 0325. Truck 42 was cleared at 0320 and available at 0345. D/C Depew cleared at 0325 and was available at 0326. Engine 425 cleared the scene at 0350 and was available at 0410.

Directions: Read the call information in the exercise below. Use the information provided to complete the entire Apparatus or Resources Module form and other required forms. Compare your work to the answers provided in Appendix A. If your answers are different from the ones provided, read over the Apparatus or Resources Module again. The Alberta Fire Department (FDID #92188) received a call for a reported house fire at 5 East Cary Street, Brunswick, Virginia 23351, on May 1, 2005. The dispatcher assigned the incident (#5433) to Engine 1, Engine 2, and Truck 1 from Shift A. The units received the alarm at 12:53 p.m. Engine 1 and Truck 1 arrived at the scene at 12:58. Engine 2 arrive at the scene at 1:00 p.m. Each unit was staffed with four firefighters. The owner of the single-family dwelling, Mrs. Christy Gordon (66 years old), said that she was warming her lunch on the stove when the grease from the pan began to burn. The gas stove was a Whirlpool, Model RF330PXVN, Serial Number F925888840, Year 2000. The fire spread from the pan to the curtains. She had fallen asleep upstairs and was alerted when the hardwired activated. The flame damage was confined to the kitchen. The 2,000 square feet, two-story home was filled with smoke in the other rooms. She called 911. Crews from Engine 1 and 2 worked to extinguish the fire while the crew from Truck 1 performed salvage and overhaul. The fire was brought under control at 1:25 p.m. There was $24,000 fire loss to property and $9,600 content loss. The value of the property was $161,000 and the content value was $80,400. All units cleared the scene at 2:40 p.m. FF1 Adam C. Wallner, Badge No. 224, completed the report after returning to Station No. 2. Captain Tonya S. Gordon, Badge No. 105, was the officer in charge. The incident was in Census Tract 501.10, District A12.
