You can choose the Firefighting Resources of California Organized for Potential Emergencies (FIRESCOPE), Incident Command System (ICS), IMS, National Incident Management System (NIMS), or a specific variation of ICS that your fire department uses.

• Explain your understanding of the system your department uses, including a basic description and a summary of how that particular system differs from the others listed above.
• Reflect on how the theories and main concepts presented during this course can help you better assess the effectiveness of the system your department uses as well as your overall understanding of its purpose and application within your department.
• Be sure to explain each theory or concept to demonstrate your understanding of the material. Offer examples of the use and application of the system to support your reflection.
