Contrary to the full authority that the incident commander has over most fire situations, the authority at a fire in a penal institution normally is the warden. Strict adherence to safety parameters that are established by the warden ensure the safety of responders. The operations section could include a deputy operations chief who is a fire officer. Ideally, a correctional officer who is assigned to the rapid-intervention crew should have a firefighter background that includes training in the use of SCBA.
