Abstract

The incident command system (ICS) is a standardized method of managing emergency incidents caused by fires, accidents, hazardous materials, and other natural or human-caused disasters. ICS is a flexible system that consists of established procedures for managing resources such as personnel, equipment, and communications. This study includes the examination of a suburban volunteer fire department’s use of ICS at all incidents. The utilization of interdisciplinary training methods, post-incident assessment techniques, and formation of strategic alliances are identified as the primary components that contribute to the effective management of an incident.
