Fireground Communications
• More than just yelling orders
• Involves several steps
• Giving and receiving information
• Information understood
![Page 7: Module 3: COMMUNICATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062403/56815ba9550346895dc9aa93/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
THE NEED FOR EFFECTIVE FIREGROUND
COMMUNICATIONS

Improved Firefighter Safety
• Ability to communicate essential information quickly.
• Knowing where personnel are at all times.
![Page 9: Module 3: COMMUNICATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062403/56815ba9550346895dc9aa93/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Effective Resource Use
• Manage action plan effectively.
• Gather clear and concise information.
• Flow of important information only
![Page 10: Module 3: COMMUNICATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062403/56815ba9550346895dc9aa93/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Improved Interagency Cooperation Through Good Communication
• Makes Department look good
• Makes it easier for others to understand your needs.
• Eliminates duplication of efforts.
![Page 11: Module 3: COMMUNICATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062403/56815ba9550346895dc9aa93/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Legal Implications
• Many radio communications are taped.
• Tapes may be entered as part of the evidence.
• All Departments must follow FCC licensing requirements.

THE NEED FOR A COMMUNICATIONS MODEL
![Page 13: Module 3: COMMUNICATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062403/56815ba9550346895dc9aa93/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Communications is a major factor in how well emergencies
are managed
![Page 14: Module 3: COMMUNICATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062403/56815ba9550346895dc9aa93/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Departments need to train on improving fireground communication procedures.

Departments Should Have Written Communication Procedures
• Basis for training.
• Compatible with other agencies.
• Members know what the communication rules are.
• Used during post incident analysis.
![Page 16: Module 3: COMMUNICATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062403/56815ba9550346895dc9aa93/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Written Procedures Provide a Model
• Assurance that all the important factors in effective communication are included.
• Followed at all incidents
• “Perfect practice makes perfect”Vince

When communication breaks down on the fireground so does:
• Coordination
• Control
• The ability to provide for firefighter safety
![Page 32: Module 3: COMMUNICATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062403/56815ba9550346895dc9aa93/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
All personnel have the responsibility to communicate
effectively
• Starts with a good brief initial report by the first-in officer.
• Continues throughout the incident.
![Page 33: Module 3: COMMUNICATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062403/56815ba9550346895dc9aa93/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Types of Tactical Communications
• Initial conditions reports
• Implementation orders
• Progress reports
• Reports of Safety Hazards
![Page 34: Module 3: COMMUNICATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062403/56815ba9550346895dc9aa93/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Tactical Benchmarks
• Completion of tactical operations
• Completion of primary search
• Stopping the forward progress of the fire
• When further property loss is stopped
![Page 35: Module 3: COMMUNICATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062403/56815ba9550346895dc9aa93/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Progress Reports from COs“Report on Conditions”
• The tactical operations are having a positive impact.
• Tactical operations are not having a positive impact.
• Additional resources that may be needed.
![Page 36: Module 3: COMMUNICATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062403/56815ba9550346895dc9aa93/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Progress Reports from COs“Report on Conditions”
• Advanced warning to the supervisor as to when relief crews will be needed.
• If and when resources might be available for release or reassignment.
• Periodic reports on the status.
![Page 37: Module 3: COMMUNICATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062403/56815ba9550346895dc9aa93/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Reports of safety hazards or evacuation orders“Emergency Traffic”
• All personnel have the responsibility.
• A method to quickly convey emergency information should be established.
• Accounts for all personnel when the structure has been evacuated.
