ICS History
Wildfires in Western US before 1970’s
National Wildfire Coordination Center
National Interagency Incident Management
System (NIIMS)
National Fire Academy Incident Command
System (NFA ICS)
Mostly from California FIRESCOPE 1972
07/15/2021 26
ICS: The Problem
Too many people report to one supervisor
Different agency organizational structures
Lack of reliable incident information
Incompatible communication systems
Lack of coordinated planning
Unclear lines of authority
Terminology differences
Unclear or unspecified incident objectives
07/15/2021 27
FIRESCOPE (1972)
FIrefighting REsources of Southern California
Organized for Potential Emergencies
Four Requirements:
Organizational flexibility: small or large incidents
Agency familiarity: Use for routine incidents
Standardized to allow disparate partnerships
Cost Effective
Wildfires are like many other emergencies
07/15/2021 28
Key ICS concepts:
Flexibility
System can expand or contract as needed
Standardization
Applied to all-disciplines, all-hazards
Same titles and functions in different places
Chain of Command
Clear lines of authority, up and down
07/15/2021 29
Key ICS concepts:
Unity of Command
Each person (resource) reports to only one
specific person or position
Span of Control
A person supervises 3-7 people,
Five is the optimal number supervised
