A3 Incident Command Wallets

A4 and A3 Incident Command Wallets

The Incident Command Wallet will be carried on all front line appliances within the service. This will allow the delivery of effective Incident Command (manageable “spans of control”) at the very early stages of an incident.

If the incident progresses, the Incident Command wallet will be supported by the use of the Services Incident Command Units.

The Incident wallet contains the documentation required, that will allow the Service to carry out the key elements of Incident Command.

• Strategy
• Tactics
• Operations
• Safety
• Communications
• Control/Managing
• Resources
• Briefing and Information
• Liaison
• Post Incident Considerations

To enhance the degree of incident control at any emergency, an A4 Incident Command Wallet is issued to all Area Commanders. This will allow them to carry out their rolls within the service.
