Exercise Overview
Exercise Overview
A leader’s intent is a clear, concise statement that communicates three essential pieces of information that individuals must know to achieve the mission: Task, Purpose and End State
Leaders’ Intent/Objectives
As with any incident, there are multiple priorities. At a minimum, the following 3 should be focused on at all times.
Life
Incident stabilization
Property and environment preservation
Set SMART objectives (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-Bound)
Develop 1-2 Incident Objectives for your fire assignment
Think about planning using the PACE (Primary, Alternate, Contingency and Emergency) model when establishing tactics or plans.

Ex 1 Initial Attack.pdfExercise #1: Initial Attack - WUI
Exercise #1: Initial Attack - WUI
Objective:
Demonstrate how to establish objectives and stabilize a fire scene. Work through the decision making process while having LCES in place at all times.
Assignment:
Perform a size-up and implement the Risk Management Process.
First on scene, what are your safety hazards and concerns. How can we mitigate?
Determine the Initial Attack Strategy you could safely implement.
Prioritize incoming resources. What additional resources could be helpful, if any?
Scenario Narrative:
You are responding to an active burning wildland fire that is located next to Alder Creek. This response area is serviced by Bureau of Indian Affairs, Oregon Department of Forestry and two different rural fire protection agencies, one of them being yours.
The road to access this fire is called Fire Hall Rd, which dead ends at a home address. The road is wide enough for two engines to pass each other, but there are very few areas to turn around. Upon arrival you are able to gather the following situational awareness:
Situational Awareness
You are in a type 6 engine with 2 additional fire fighters from a Structural Fire Agency.
Fire Size: 1/4 acre
Time: July 28th, 1430 hours
Fuel Type: Primarily Grass and Brush Mix, Timber
Weather: 80 degrees Fahrenheit, RH 28%, winds are S/SW at 6mph
Fire Behavior: Flame Lengths of 1-6 feet, low fire spread, fire is climbing in to various tree canopies.
Terrain: Mid-slope, 40-50% slope, southwest aspect
Hazards: Snags in the area, fire is in a highly populated area, 3 different fire service entities are responding – mixed communications.
Additional Resources Assigned and Enroute:
4 Engines
● Type 1, 4 Persons (Neighboring Department)
● Type 3, 3 Persons (BIA)
● Type 6, 2 Persons (ODF)

Exercise 2: Remote IA/Extended Attack
Exercise 2: Remote IA/Extended Attack
Objective:
Demonstrate how to establish objectives and stabilize a fire scene. Work through the decision making process while having LCES in place at all times.
Assignment:
Perform a size-up and implement the Risk Management Process.
As the only resource on scene, what are your safety hazards and concerns. How can we mitigate?
Determine the Initial Attack Strategy you could safely implement.
Plan for little to no support, what role does this play in logistical needs?
Be prepared to brief the class in 20 minutes.
Scenario Narrative:
You are responding to a smoke investigation call in a very remote portion of the forest, with little to no road access. As you make your way to the area of concern, you do not notice a smoke column and at this time receive no further information on the call. At this time, you have come to a dead end road but can smell smoke. Your engine decides to roll up the windows, gear up and hike in to the fire. Fire is 800 feet away with 100ft elevation gain. At this time, you take 4 Hand Tools, 1 Chain saw and 2 bladder bags with you. All personnel have radios.
Talk with your group and list 3 concerns/watch-outs based on the limited narrative information, as you are still trying to make access to the scene.
Upon arrival you gather the following situational awareness:
You are in a 500gal type 5 engine with 4 total personnel
Fire Size: 60ft x 60ft
Time: June 20th, 1830 hours
Fuel Type: Brush Mix, Timber
Weather: 78 degrees Fahrenheit, RH 38%, winds are calm less than 2mph
Fire Behavior: Flame Lengths of 1-3 feet, low fire spread – creeping and smoldering. Fire has entered the base of 1 standing tree, as well as smoldering in heavy dead and down
Terrain: Ridgetop upper 1/3 of slope, 15-30% slope, north east aspect
Hazards: Limited water supply, limited personnel, approaching night.
Additional resources on apparatus:
Mark 26 pump w/kit
1000ft 1.5” hose
