The term incident management system (IMS) denotes a particular approach employed by many fire departments. The IMS aims to manage diverse resources at a wide variety of emergency scenes. Due to the barrier of culture, different task grouping and etc... , Taipei Fire Department Rescue Team is the only fire fighting unit implementing IMS in Taiwan for the time being. This research aims to find out the important factors for fire departments in Taiwan if they want to implement IMS.
Our inductive study conducted 23 experts to explore the factors. Based on progressive discussions with the experts group, we summarized and clarified the key points and identify 22 factors of IMS. Furthermore, a five perspectives and 22-factors questionnaire was prepared to conduct a quantitative method. This research applied the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to facilitate the decision of CSF. In general, this research suggests ¡§resource management¡¨ should be viewed as the most important factors among the five perspectives. While within the five perspectives, there are five critical success factors, which are ¡§formulate SOP¡¨, ¡§clear group and division¡¨, ¡§set up resource management unit¡¨, ¡§recruit more firefighters¡¨ and ¡§improving incident commander abilities¡¨, for the fire departments in Taiwan as a reference to implement IMS.
