7: SOPs and SOGs are critical; they give structure, direction, and consistency. However, the reality is that not every situation you face on the fireground fits neatly into a policy manual. That’s where your defaults come in. Defaults are the pre-built decisions, mindsets, and tactical approaches you’ve thought through in advance. They fill in the gray areas, the unpredictable, fast-moving moments where there’s no time to flip through a guideline or ask for direction. When the pressure’s on and the clock is ticking, your defaults kick in and keep you moving with purpose. They reduce hesitation, minimize stress, and enable you to operate with confidence even when the situation becomes messy.
