Mark PoloncarzHOST
And so can you please spell it out? Because there are so many different things.
Mark PoloncarzHOST
But there was an acronym that you talked about, the ICS, Incident Command System.
Mark PoloncarzHOST
And what people need to understand is it's not just something that's implemented in Erie County.
Mark PoloncarzHOST
It's nationwide so that you can actually bring people from another part of the country who, because they've been trained in that type of system, the ICS system, can understand and immediately help out rather than just sort of arrive.
Steve IjamesGUEST
Whereas if you just look at what happened, we are our own brother and sister's keeper, and in my opinion, we have first and foremost, before we are begging for hundreds of thousands of dollars for BearCats and all kinds of, uh, expensive, valuable equipment, we are responsible first for owning fundamental tactical concepts and internalizing it, teaching it, demanding it, testing it.
Steve IjamesGUEST
Uh, post-9/11, we created the Incident Command System, which every cop I know in Americas had to sit through, uh, ICS, uh, NIMS, National Incident Management System, they've had to sit through it.
Steve IjamesGUEST
It was horrible for most everyone.
Steve IjamesGUEST
But there's a reason why that program was created.
Steve StocktonHOST
It would be impossible for them to help themselves as well.

The following morning, Wednesday, October 30, 1963, Warden Supervisor David Priest returned to Roaring Brook and set up what we today call an Incident Command Center and had at least 35 people there working at all times.
Steve StocktonHOST
All different avenues of help were brought in and explored, but nobody could do anything as the snow was still accumulating and fast on Friday morning.
Steve StocktonHOST
Flash forward to November 1st.

Peter HaydenGUEST
I was convinced of two things in the aftermath.
Peter HaydenGUEST
There's one, we needed to go full-blown ICS because it was so multi-jurisdictional and really beyond the span of control of a single department.
Peter HaydenGUEST
And secondly, we needed these incident management teams to manage large-scale disasters or extended operations that goes on for several days.
Peter HaydenGUEST
That was included in the McKinsey report.
Peter HaydenGUEST
He was a new commissioner.
Peter HaydenGUEST
And we sit down and he asked me some questions about that day and some of the ideas we need moving forward.
Peter HaydenGUEST
And I talked about borough commands and ICS, incident management teams, and so forth and going on and on.
Peter HaydenGUEST
And he says, This consultant group, McKinsey, had offered their services to us and we wanted to do a study of the operations that day and look at future preparedness for the department for any more large-scale events.
Jim DudleyHOST
And that rush to the scene, I mean, it still happens today.
Jim DudleyHOST
Have you set in place any policy that says we're going to shift the overall operational authority to an off-site operations center where you have, you know, short of anything else to say, cooler heads prevailing, making decisions without that human emotion?
John EspositoGUEST
The way that it's done here in New York is that on the fire side, that incident commander is the one that requests resources.
John EspositoGUEST
So when we have a building fire, we have a signal 1075, and then we have specific assignment of units that fill that.
John EspositoGUEST
So they'll notify the dispatcher, and the dispatcher assigns the units.

However, when the initial attack does not stop the fire and more resources are called in, an incident management team is often called in to manage the larger-scale incident.

This is when the radio communications will move from the Emergency Communications Center to adapt within the Incident Command System, or ICS, structure, and be taken over by firefighters trained in radio communications or tactical dispatchers.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Training Under the ICS structure, positions are named to allow for easy understanding of the job and give a common naming that anyone can understand.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Much like a public safety telecommunicator, a radio operator or RADO handles radio traffic coming in and out of the command post.
