The Incident of Command System has strict rules governing its procedures in action. Although a specific type of communication is not specified, the clear rule in communication is proper use of the chain of command. Unity of command makes sure one supervisor is in charge of one process. This prevents confusion and freelancing, amongst other problems. Communication on available resources and manpower use of common terminology is also an important part of the system. Communication equipment, procedures, and systems must also operate across all areas. The Incident of Command System must include three elements to be effective. Modes are the "hardware" systems that transfer information. Networks are necessary in procedures and processes for transferring information internally and externally. Planning and training for the use of all available communications resources is, of course, required before an incident occurs.

Small incidents use a single "Incident command" structure with one incident commander. Larger or more complicated incidents may use "unified command" in which each agency participating has a say in creating the incident action plan, which is then implemented by the selected Operations Chief. Multiple simultaneous incidents may be under an "Area Command" for coordination of limited local resources.
Area command involves multiple incident commanders.
This would be a type 5 incident. The incident can be handled with one or two single resources with up to six personnel.
