The Tactical 360: Enhancing Fire ground Strategies & Tactics "Far too often the first arriving officer feels the overriding need to take immediate action by quickly entering a structure to locate and extinguish the fire. However, an investment of one or two minutes required to conduct a 360 at the outset has the potential to provide greater overall safety throughout the remaining course of the fire. But to be of benefit, it must be done routinely whenever possible or practical, otherwise the pot

The TACTICAL SUPERVISOR is the missing gap on many firegrounds. 🔥 As an incident commander, I’ve found that assigning later-arriving chiefs to take the tactical supervisor (division or group) position in the most active areas has provided the greatest relief and assistance in a smooth and aggressive fireground. For more information, check out our YouTube playlist on command - Link in my story And check out our programs on how Aggressive Command Supports Aggressive Firefighting. Info in my story

Different levels of fireground command and leadership are focused on different jobs. 🔥⬇️ Company officers lead their firefighters in completing the crew's job (stretching a line, searching a room, etc). This communication is face to face. Tactical supervisors (divisions and groups) coordinate multiple COMPANY OFFICERS to accomplish the overall tactical objectives in the assigned area (all fire knocked down, searches complete, extension controlled, etc.). This communication is mostly face-to-fac

The number one job of any incident commander is to do everything they can to prevent a line of duty death. ⚠️ 1️⃣ By preparing our members BEFORE the fire. 2️⃣ By managing the incident to support a safe and aggressive firefight DURING the fire. You should always be doing one of two things - leading your people in battle, or preparing them for battle. (Col. Dandridge Malone, US Army, ret).

Is your fire driven by COMMAND or by a PLAN? 🔥 New video is up, talking about command-driven vs SOG-driven firegrounds, filmed at one of our recent Aggressive Command Supports Aggressive Firefighting courses. Tactics may be local, and one size doesn’t fit all. And everything has its pros, but also its cons. 👉🏼 In this clip - we were talking about making assignments in an IC-driven system, and the amount of radio time it takes to make our initial tactical assignments when a plan does not alrea

Nick Martin on Instagram: "The solution to a tough fire is well-trained firefighters and a solid plan. 💪🏼🔥 A core concept of the Aggressive Command system is to expect and be prepared for the OFFENSIVE FIRE, WITH PEOPLE TRAPPED, AND A MAYDAY from one of your firefighters. ⚠️ This is the worst case and most time-sensitive scenario. And too many fire departments have never thought about how to handle this situation until they’re in the middle of it. And that’s too late. Learn more about the str
