SUMMARYSUMMARY• Appropriate use of the ICS provides effective
span of control at all organizational levels.
• Benefits of using ICS: firefighter safety, effective use of resources, and improved incident management.
• The ICS provides tools for the IC. The IC should use only the tools that are needed to manage incident resources.
