Recommendations That the London Fire Commissioner approves: a. The content and findings of the Review (Appendix 1). b. The recommendations of the Review. Background 1. London Fire Brigade (LFB) is one of the largest metropolitan fire and rescue services in the world and operates within a highly complex and challenging environment. The threat that emerged from international and domestic terror following the attacks in 2001 on the World Trade Centre and the subsequent challenges posed by Marauding Terrorist Attacks (MTA) has meant LFB has needed to ensure it is able to respond to these threats and mitigate their impact. As a result, the OR/SOG Department has provided the capability and expertise to deliver that response. This also included the development of a new tactical advisor role in 2001 with the creation of Interagency Liaison Officers (ILO) now National Interagency Liaison Officers (NILO). The instigation, development and coordination of the NILO role has been a significant achievement for LFB and enjoys substantial support across the fire and rescue sector and with partner agencies.

  • Module 1: Preparedness, ICS, and Resources Topic 1
    Module 1: Preparedness, ICS, and Resources Topic 1: Introduction Module introduction Narration Script: Becoming a wildland firefighter means you’ve got a lot to learn—and a lot of “prep” work to do. A wildland fire is a kind of classroom and everyday is like preparing for a new pop quiz. You’ll need to be physically ready and know how to maintain your stamina over the long haul with the right foods and fluids. You also need to know that you’ve brought along the right gear and that you’ve maintained it in tip-top shape to effectively fight the fire. You’ll need important personal items to make your time on the line more comfortable. And if you understand your role in the incident command system and the chain of command, you will have a positive impact on the incidents you respond to. Fighting fires requires lots of resources—from aerial support to heavy machinery cutting fireline—you’ll have to adapt to working on different crew types and with different types of people. So get prepared to jump into this module and learn the foundations of preparedness, the incident command system, and the many resources enlisted to fight a wildland fire. By the end of this module, we want you scoring an “A” on your real-world fireline exam. Module overview Before going out on the fireline, there are “i’s” to dot and “t’s” to cross. Preparing equipment and continuing your wildland firefighting education are on top of the list. This module will give you an overview of: • Common fire fighting terms and parts of a fire • Personal protective equipment (PPE) and how to keep it in tip-top shape • Ways to combat dehydration and fatigue • Incident command system (ICS) and how you fit in • Types of crews and the importance of respecting your co-workers Narration Script: There’s a lot to cover before you can go out on the fireline.

  • History of Ics
    INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM NATIONAL TRAINING CURRICULUM HISTORY OF ICS October 1994 I. Background of ICS II. Curriculum Design III. Companion Documents IV. Supporting Material V. Table of Modules I. Background of the Incident Command System (ICS) A. Need for a Common Incident Management System The complexity of incident management, coupled with the growing need for multi-agency and multifunctional involvement on incidents, has increased the need for a single standard incident management system that can be used by all emergency response disciplines. Factors affecting emergency management and which influence the need for a more efficient and cost-effective incident management system are listed below. Not all of these will apply to every incident. • Population growth and spread of urban areas. • Language and cultural differences. • More multijurisdictional incidents. • Legal changes mandating standard incident management systems and multi-agency involvement at certain incidents. • Shortage of resources at all levels, requiring greater use of mutual aid. • Increase in the number, diversity, and use of radio frequencies. • More complex and interrelated incident situations. • Greater life and property loss risk from natural and human- caused technological disasters. • Sophisticated media coverage demanding immediate answers and emphasizing response effectiveness. • More frequent cost-sharing decisions on incidents. These factors have accelerated the trend toward more complex incidents. Considering the fiscal and resource constraints of local, state and federal responders, the Incident Command System (ICS) is a logical approach for the delivery of coordinated emergency services to the public. B. History of ICS Development ICS resulted from the obvious need for a new approach to the problem of managing rapidly moving wildfires in the early 1970s.
