Yes, an Incident Commander can utilize one or more deputies to assist in managing an incident. Deputies can help oversee specific areas of the response, allowing the Incident Commander to focus on overall strategy and coordination. This delegation of responsibilities enhances efficiency and ensures that all aspects of the incident are effectively managed. Additionally, having deputies can provide redundancy and continuity in leadership if the Incident Commander becomes unavailable.

As soon as the incident occurs the first responder who is the incident commander?
The terminology is as broad as a cloud belt. First of all incident could have many meanings, a crime, natural disaster, accident involving a pipe failure, etcf. The term First Responder is usually applied to paramedical services ( such as ambulance crews) and often firemen. The Incident Commander is an officer in charge who has overall oversight of the incident. It is, of necessity a temporary assignment, but an important one. It should be carefully noted Incident Commander is not a regular rank like Lieutenant, Deputy, sergeant, etc. The term has only come into use in the past five or ten years and probably came out of Homeland Security and one of their branches, the Coast Guard. Just a couple of days ago I saw a vehicle that resembled a regular police car but had markings for Incident Commander, so it is not so temporary as it sounds.
