Explanation:

As  incidents  grow,  the  Incident  Commander  may  delegate  authority  for  performing  certain  activities  to  others,  as  required.

A  modular  organization develops from the top-down organizational structure at any incident. “Top-down” means that, at the very least, the Command function  is  established  by  the  first-arriving  officer  who  becomes  the  Incident  Commander.
