At the operations briefing, what will the operations chief discuss?

The operations chief plays a critical role during the operations briefing by discussing strategies and tactics necessary to achieve the incident objectives. This involves evaluating the current situation, identifying potential hazards, and devising a response plan that aligns with the incident's goals. Discussing strategies and tactics helps to ensure that all response personnel understand the approach that will be taken, which is essential for effective coordination and safety during operations.

In this context, while the location of the fire, personnel assignments, and equipment status checks are important aspects of the overall incident management, the focus of the operations chief's briefing is primarily on how to manage the response effectively through well-defined strategies and tactics. This discussion provides the framework within which all other operational details can be integrated.
