Ambulance Incident Commander

The Support Zone (also known as the cold or green zone) is where the Incident Commander, support teams, press, medical treatment areas, and ambulances are located. It is usually upwind, uphill, and a safe distance from the incident. 

The emergency services responses at the scene are controlled by the individual service commanders, who together comprise the joint emergency services control centre or silver command. The silver commanders report to their gold command. Ambulance, police and fire commanders will usually be appointed. A medical incident commander will be appointed in incidents involving significant numbers of live casualties. 

The emergency services response at the scene of an incident is controlled by the joint emergency services control centre which consists of the silver-level commanders of each emergency service. The fire, jx)lice and ambulance commanders will be recognisable by their identifying tabards. Within the bronze area each service has a forward commander who is responsible to the commander at silver level.
