的clock at anincident是一个非常重要的监控。的safety officercan perform several critical safety observations relating to time. Use of a dispatch based time tracking announcement may be helpful in making everyone at the incident more aware of their surroundings.Air management, length of time a fire has been burning, progress indicators inside a building can all be measured against an elapsed time clock. The major variable however is always the time the fire was burning before the fire department was notified. This is a major safety point that needs to be estimated and placed into some of the time related observations that a safety officer will make.
Considerations of the following reminders may help theincident safety officertrack critical benchmarks during the fire. (This is just an example of some of the time management factors that should be evaluated. Each incident needs to be evaluated againstriskvs reward and gain as compared tofire behavior and building construction.)
