It is important for firefighters and officers en route to mentally prepare for the incident. First arriving firefighter or officer use the brief initial report, a radio report of what’s happening upon arrival, as a way to help them prepare. This report must be concise and to the point.
Make sure to paint a picture for the other responding crews. Use proper terminology, detail the type of building involved, smoke conditions, visible flames and rescue opportunities.
