This lesson introduces Fire Cadets to the basics of Incident Command, including JESIP principles, how emergency services work together, and how to assess incidents using the M/ETHANE model. Through discussion, group work and real‑incident examples, cadets build an understanding of decision‑making at emergency scenes.
