Question 1
Why is it so important that incident command be established as soon as possible?
◦ Units may "freelance" and disrupt the incident.
◦ Units may lack good directions to the scene.
◦ A chief officer may not get notified.
◦ Someone with improper credentials may take over.
Question 2
You and your partner are driving to get lunch when you witness a school bus hit broadside by a cement truck. Based on the time of day, you can actively assume that there were children on the bus. You immediately call for additional resources and take up position as incident commander. At what point can you turn over your duties as commander?
◦ You can't. Once you've established command you will remain in that position until the incident has been resolved.
◦ Once a responder with a higher level of training, such as a battalion chief, arrives.
◦ Only after receiving confirmation from the lead emergency medical dispatcher that more resources are en route.
◦ When your partner returns and you can hand over the role to him.
