1 The State of TIM in Nevada Multiagency Participation Captain Tom Diani, Reno Fire Department

2 NV Coalition 2017 Nevada statewide TIM Training: 44+ percent trained responders in the state of Nevada. Reno completed Train-the-Trainer in February: 147 TIM trainers statewide. Hundreds of responders trained in rural areas Southern Nevada TIM Coalition hands-on training May 22, 24, and New investigative technology: FARO (RPD) Statewide Open Road Policy signed by the Governor, Director of DPS and NDOT in May. 2

3 Cross Training Northern/Southern Prepare hands on TIM exercises designed to promote consistent training of all responders to achieve the three objectives of the TIM National Unified Goal (NUG): 1. Responder Safety 2. Safe, Quick Clearance 3. Prompt, Reliable, Interoperable Communications 3

4 SNV Hands-on Training Objectives 1. Engage the different levels of TIM experience of responders with the appropriate level of training to challenge each discipline. 2. Involving agency first-line and mid-level management in training their own people. 3. Team based training and evaluation based upon pre-agreed upon criteria. 4. Provide CEUs hours of credit for each different profession. 4

6 Four TIM Scenarios Work Zone crash, Traffic management. Opportunity for participants to practice setting up traffic control in the field at the scene Large Mass Causality Incident (MCI) with shared MCC, dispatching; communications between responders and work around scenario development. Focus on Incident Command and transition to Unified Command structure. HazMat simulation using live training tank. Coroner wrapping fatal to clear the road. 6

7 Positive Benefits Communications Cooperation Coordination Limited communications for motorists and responders On much of the sate highway Practicing together improves working at the scene together. Builds trust and creates opportunity to identify possible solutions for issues 7

8 Challenges Communications Limited Cell Services Dispatch to dispatch Limited communications for motorists and responders On much of the sate highway 8

17 Utilizing resources Multiagency coordination is common Fire has advanced ICS and UCS skills BLM Forest service County/city government Mining industry Other local businesses Teamwork 17

18 Why: Traffic Incident Management Each injury crash can require a minimum of 9 responders: 2 Law Enforcement 4 Fire & Rescue 2 EMS 1 Towing & Recovery Responder struck by crashes take responder lives every day. Better communications and multiagency collaboration saves lives! 18

Eight firefighters and two EMTs were struck by the 18-wheeler as it slid into the incident scene One firefighter killed Nine other responders seriously injured TOTALLY AVOIDABLE Photo Courtesy of the Lionville Fire Company (PA) 4H 20 20

21 Multiagency TIM Benefits Working together promotes a mutual understanding of needs for all agencies. Understanding needs translates into meeting expectations and building trust. Multiagency participation in TIM also increases available resources at the scene and better serves the public. 21

22 Cooperation, Coordination & Communication Safer working environment and better services to the community. Helps clean the roads faster to avoid secondary accidents. Every minute a crash stays on the road the likelihood of a secondary crash increases by 2.8%. National statistics show 18% of secondary crashes result in a fatality. Promotes a team approach no more us vs. them. 22

23 Secondary Crashes Fatal crash on I-70 underscores backup risks The Columbus Dispatch 4H 23 23

24 Benefits For Fire More understanding about why parking is so important helps us be considerate when setting up safety zone and more aware of lane plus one. Awareness about the danger of front facing lights at nighttime. More conscientious about moving over lanes and communicating when a lane will become available to clear. 24

25 Safe-Positioned MUTCD Definition The positioning of emergency vehicles at an incident in a manner that attempts to: 1. Protect the responders performing their duties 2. Protect road users traveling through the incident scene 3. Minimize, to the extent practical, disruption of the adjacent traffic flow 4H 25 25

28 Command Responsibilities 4H 28 28

29 Incident Command System (ICS) Standardized, on-scene, all-hazards incident management concept Allows users to adopt an organizational structure for handling an incident without being hindered by jurisdictional boundaries Goals of ICS: Safety of responders and others Achievement of tactical objectives Efficient use of resources 4H 29 29

30 ICS and MUTCD Chapter 6I Section 6I.01 General The National Incident Management System (NIMS) requires the use of ICS at traffic incident management scenes A traffic incident is an emergency road user occurrence, a natural disaster, or other unplanned event that affects or impedes the normal flow of traffic 4H 30 30

31 Single ICS or Unified? WHAT ARE THE TRIGGERS FOR UNIFIED COMMAND? 4H 31 31

32 Command Structures Single Command Incident Commander has complete responsibility for incident management Unified Command Utilized when incidents require multi-jurisdictional or multiagency response Allows all agencies to: Work together without affecting authority, responsibility, or accountability Manage an incident together by establishing a common set of incident objectives and strategies 4H 32 32

33 Incident Action Plan Unified Command must work together to implement an Incident Action Plan (IAP) 4H 33 33

34 ICS General and Command Staff Incident Commander Information Officer Safety Officer Liaison Officer Operation Section Planning Section Logistics Section Finance/Admin Section 4H 34 34

35 Physical Organization Incident Command Post (ICP) The field location at which the primary tactical-level, onscene incident command functions are performed Staging Area Location established where resources can be placed while awaiting a tactical assignment 4H 35 35

36 TIM Reinforces Life Lessons Things I learned in Kindergarten but forgot 1. Share everything. 2. Play fair. 3. Don t hit people. 4. Put things back where you found them. 5. Clean up your own mess. 6. Say you re SORRY when you HURT somebody. 7. When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. 36
