Incident Response Pocket Guide 2014

Customer Service

The intent of this guide is to provide a wildland fire job aid and training reference for operational personnel from Firefighter Type 2 through Division Supervisor and initial attack/extended attack Incident Commanders. It also has a secondary application for all-hazard incident response.

Some fireline decisions may be relatively simple, many are not. These decisions often require individual judgment and creativity—skills developed through extensive training, dedicated practice, and experience.

This guide provides a collection of best practices that have evolved over time within the wildland fire service. It does not provide absolute solutions to the unlimited number of situations that will occur.
