âPreheat oven to 350 degrees.â I hate this phrase. First, as George Carlin pointed out, itâs linguistically absurdâyou donât preheat an oven, you heat it. More importantly, however, it gives you a false sense of how much control you have over your oven. Itâs also plain terrible advice, in many cases.
(August 2010) The incident commander is the person responsible for all aspects of an emergency response; including quickly developing incident objectives, managing all incident operations, application of resources as well as responsibility for all persons involved.
Based on the ICS system and the scope of the incident, EMS providers may be assigned or responsible for any number of roles. These roles may range from incident commander on a strictly medical situation to that of an operational or support unit member in a large multiple agency response to a major incident.
