What is the purpose of a Critical Incident Debrief?
A Critical Incident Debrief is a vehicle that enables the people who have been involved in an incident to talk over the facts. • Critical Incident Debriefing gives our crews a chance to give support to each other. • Helps them to realise that they are not alone, others may feel exactly the same. • It helps firefighters realise that their impressions and reactions are normal. • It also helps to prevent unnecessary after effects that may occur. • It may also help to normalise an abnormal situation.
