Incident Command System The most knowledgeable EMS provider on the scene is the triage officer –Confirms the incident to dispatch, establishes a command post, and requests additional resources –Performs an initial assessment on each patient without performing treatment and starts a triage tag for each The most knowledgeable EMS provider on the scene is the triage officer –Confirms the incident to dispatch, establishes a command post, and requests additional resources –Performs an initial assessment on each patient without performing treatment and starts a triage tag for each

Summary The First Responder is usually not responsible for special rescue and operations, but must have a fundamental understanding of the procedures of such operations. Understanding these fundamentals will help the First Responder in carrying out the priorities of safety and patient care, and in interacting with other personnel and resources in the system.
