Incident Command System

Cleveland Fire Brigade are currently soft market testing with a view to undertaking a procurement exercise for an Incident Command System.

Any Incident Command System proposed should include the following functionality:

• The command system should have a way of recording decisions. Whether that be written, verbally or video recording, this is a key requirement moving forward.
• It should contain the ability to be updated in real time and ensure data is not lost if connection is lost.
• Tall buildings management is vital; this will be required to share occupancy and resident status for all flats within a building to be shared amongst all users. This should be user friendly and easily populated with status updates such as fire survival guidance given, resident evacuated etc.
• System must be able to be accessed by multiple users and devices at once.
• An ability to record the command structure of an incident would be required.
• An ability to record or upload ARA and ERA documents.
• The option to pass info/instant message would be useful.
• All interactions with the incident must be timestamped and auditable.
• Ideally the system would be compatible to a number of devices, i.e. mobile phone, tablet, and laptop/desktop.
• The potential to link into other information feeds and systems, such as local authority CCTV (if available), drone footage etc.
• A mapping tool that allows for things like overheads, maps, cordons, overlays etc to be displayed and use. This would incorporate things like hydrants maps etc.
• The ability to record personal accountability on the incident ground, including fire and non-fire personnel.
• Ability to pick up staffing from CFB rostering systems
• Ability to track fire appliances on a live map (linked to CFB mobilising system)
