Attention Management. Description Fire fighters are bombarded with sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and physical contact with others and the world around them. What is important? The challenge facing the decision maker here is that there is often so much information coming in and so much going on, that knowing where and when to focus attention is a real challenge. Experienced personnel know where the most diagnostic information is, how to get it and when it will be useful.

It is easy to become distracted by the various parties who need information, or who have information for the IC, who are reporting back from tasks they have been issued, who need new tasking, etc. etc. Remembering what tasks have been ordered, which are pending, which are in progress, which are complete, what resources have become ava...
