命令的使命是协调紧急工作人员的活动，并尽一切努力使用公认的战略实践来保护生命和财产免受火灾和其他紧急情况的影响。在这个使命宣言中，我有一个斜体协调，强调事件指挥官（IC）不应该是火灾的实际参与者。IC的重点应该是整个事件，其需求和消防员的安全。如果他的手在喷嘴上，他不能维持这种焦点，他在屋顶上通风，或者他参与其他战术演变（照片1）。有时候IC可能会在短时间内成为一名手。这种出现通常来自低人员配置，应该是例外，而不是规则。如果IC必须参与场上的战术操作，那么它应该只是一小段时间，并且他应该尽快回到命令帖子，并在整个事件中重点焦点。
Even at single-unit responses where informal command is used, the officer should avoid becoming a hands-on participant in emergency scene operations. At an emergency medical services (EMS) incident, even if only two members are on the scene, the informal IC must focus on the whole incident. This allows the second member to take vitals, administer oxygen, and perform other initial patient care operations. There are times when the officer must participate. One example would be when working on a victim in full cardiac arrest, with staffing at only two or three members. However, before the officer lays hands on the victim, he should request an additional unit to respond. As soon as that additional unit arrives on-scene, someone should establish a formal command.
There is no secret to running a fire. A chief or company officer’s ability to manage any incident successfully depends on factors such as experience and knowledge. But there is no secret or magic wand needed to successfully run a fire.
