Incident Command Post (ICP):

Commander oversees all incident
operations.
 May change locations during the event.
 May be located in a vehicle, trailer,

Every incident must have some form of an
Incident Command Post.

Incident Facilities: Staging Area
Staging Areas:
 Are temporary locations at an incident
where available personnel and
equipment are kept while waiting for
tactical assignments. There may be
more than one Staging Area at an
incident.
 Should be located close enough to the
incident for a timely response, but far
enough away to be out of the immediate
impact zone.
 May be collocated with the ICP, Bases,
Camps, Helibases, or Helipads.

Incident Facilities: Base
Base:
 Is the location from which primary
logistics and administrative
functions are coordinated and
administered. There is only one Base
per incident, and it is designated by
the incident name.
 May be collocated with the Incident
Command Post.
 Is established and managed by the
Logistics Section. The resources in
the Base are always out of service.
Symbol
BB
Incident Facilities: Camps
Camps:
 Are where resources may be kept to
support incident operations if a Base
is not accessible. Multiple Camps
may be used, but not all incidents
will have Camps.
 Are temporary locations within the
general incident area that are
equipped and staffed to provide
food, water, sleeping areas, and
sanitary services.
 Are designated by geographic
location or number.
Symbol
CC
Incident Facilities: Helibase/Helipads
 A Helibase is the location from which
helicopter-centered air operations are
conducted. Helibases are generally used
on a more long-term basis and include
such services as fueling and maintenance.
 Helipads are more temporary locations at
the incident, where helicopters can
safely land and take off.
Multiple Helispots may
be used.
