 Hand crews are occasionally called upon to break into smaller initial attack modules or perform initial attack at crew strength. The crew boss may be asked to organize the crew into modules to meet local unit needs such as 2, 3 or 10 person modules. The crew boss is responsible for ensuring that a qualified incident commander type 4 leader is assigned to each module. The crew boss should request an initial attack orientation briefing for the crew. The crew should be briefed on escape routes, safety zones, local fuel types, fire behavior, communication procedures, aircraft availability, local hazards, medical evacuation, and many other items specific to the fire and the agency's policies and restrictions which prohibit different types of tactics from being implemented. The crew boss should consider special logistical support needs and establish communication procedures with the local unit.
