What should actions and behaviors be aimed at avoiding during an incident?

During an incident, actions and behaviors should be aimed at avoiding Mayday situations. A Mayday situation indicates a critical emergency that requires immediate assistance due to a firefighter being in distress or an imminent life-threatening scenario. By focusing on preventing such situations, firefighters can ensure their safety and the safety of their team members.

Avoiding Mayday situations involves adhering to safety protocols, effective communication, maintaining situational awareness, and performing tasks with diligence. By being proactive in these areas, firefighters can mitigate risks that could lead to personal emergencies, ensuring that operations proceed as effectively and safely as possible.

While casualties, conflicts, and equipment failure are also critical concerns that must be addressed, a Mayday directly relates to the immediate safety of individuals in the field. Hence, prioritizing actions that help prevent Mayday situations is crucial in maintaining operational integrity and the safety of all personnel involved in the incident.
