Dispatch records, radio communications, incident reports, command documentation, photographs, video, staffing information, training records, equipment records, and departmental policies or procedures may help reconstruct how an emergency response unfolded. Comparing timestamps, communications, assignments, and documented actions can establish what information was transmitted or recorded at particular stages of the incident. The available records may not capture everything individual firefighters observed, heard, or knew at the time.
Fireground tactics should be evaluated in light of the conditions, hazards, available resources, and information confronting personnel during the incident. An expert may examine reported fire conditions, staffing and assignments, hoseline deployment and water application, ventilation, search operations, incident command, crew communications, and changes in fire conditions to assess the operational basis for the tactics used and their consistency with applicable training, departmental procedures, and fire-service practices.
Training and protective equipment may be relevant when a dispute concerns whether personnel were trained for an assigned task, whether appropriate protective equipment was available and used, or whether applicable inspection, care, maintenance, and use procedures were followed. Training records, departmental procedures, equipment records, assigned duties, and incident conditions can provide evidence for that evaluation. Questions involving the design, certification, condition, failure, or technical performance of protective equipment may require an expert with qualifications specific to the equipment involved.
