First, I would expect to see a plural here:
class IncidentsController < ApplicationController
May not seem like much but convention is important here.
The :responder that appears in your line:
@responder = Responder.new(params[:responder])
would typically be passed in as a field in the url that points to this
controller/action.
If you run:
rake routes
you should see a line that contains something like:
incident GET /incidents/:responder(.:format) {:controller =>
"incidents", :action => "show"}
and the parameter :responder would have been explicitly set by you (or
implicitly by link_to helper method), possibly in the file views/
incidents/index.html.erb.
