State Police Powers - answer -Each state has the authority to govern
matters related to the welfare and safety of the residents. Covers
all powers not specifically delegated by the Constitution to the U.S.
government.
-State activities include following: adoption of fire and building
codes, identification of who will enforce code compliance, and
firefighting services.
Administrative Law - answer -The elected officials of a state or local
jurisdiction enact basic government policies and then administrative
agencies create rules to implement the details of the policies.
-Under the Model State Administrative Procedure Act (MSPA), the
reason for delegating the rule making power by the legislature to an
administrative agency is to bring scientific and technical details into
the rules that are created.
Tactical Priorities - answer Are subdivided into tasks and assigned
to companies. The IC makes assignments based on tactical priorities
, and available resources. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
often guide these decisions.
Assigning Resources - answer The resources assigned to an incident
vary greatly and are influenced by history, tradition, and budgets.
Emergency Management Office - answer -Normally is responsible for
maintaining and coordinating the local emergency plan, as well as
facilitating the response to emergency situations.
-The local emergency plan usually includes an evacuation
component that can be used for any situation where the residents
and occupants of an area must be protected from a dangerous
situation.
Determining evacuation distances - answer The Fire Officer should
consult the emergency response guidebook, the local hazardous
materials team, or CHEMTREC for guidance in determining
evacuation distances, based on the product quantity, and
environmental conditions.
Increase in non fire incidents - answer -NFPA notes that firefighting
accounts for only 4% of the response workload based on data
submitted to the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS).
-EMS calls are now the most frequent activity undertaken by the fire
service, accounting for 64% of fire company responses.
-Activated fire protection systems are the second most common
reason for fire service response. The majority of these activations
are due to faulty alarm systems, good intentions, or false calls.
