This program will cover fireground size-up and what to look for based on the resources assigned to the alarm. Understanding time delayed tactics, learn how you can make the most of the first arriving companies before all hands arrive. It is critical to be realistic with what your assigned resources can and cannot do based on each company's actual capabilities based on apparatus, training, and experience. A three-person ladder with a step-up officer, new driver, and rookie assigned cannot do what a four-person seasoned crew can do. It is important that the fireground commander use the size-up and understanding of time delayed tactics to properly assign crews to get the most out of your bench to mitigate the incident.
