    Study Notes

    Accident with Entrapment (ACEN) Response Guidelines

    • The Hoffman Estates Fire Department's purpose is to provide standardized responses to Accident with Entrapment (ACEN) incidents classified by Northwest Central Dispatch (NWCD).
    • The policy allows for alterations to achieve a faster response based on location and status of fire department apparatus and personnel.

    Response Procedure

    • For motor vehicle accidents or entrapment circumstances:
    • Two ambulances respond for each district
    • Response varies by district (21, 22, 23, 24) with assigned engines, towers, squads, ambulances, and batallions

    I90 Tollway Response

    • For motor vehicle accidents with entrapment on the I90 tollway:
    • Response varies by tollway direction (westbound, eastbound) and mile marker (56.1-59.25, 58.5-62.5, 59.25-61.8, 62.5-66.0)
    • Assigned engines, towers, squads, ambulances, and batallions respond accordingly

    Notification

    • If State Police are not on the scene, the Incident Commander notifies NWCD to contact State Police District 15 about the incident on the tollway.

    Definitions

    • Accident with Entrapment refers to any call reported with a person entrapped, whether in a vehicle or other circumstance.

    Exceptions

    • In cases of conflict, HEFD Standard Operating Guidelines take precedence over MABAS Illinois Policies and Procedures and MABAS 1 Operating Guidelines/Policy Statements.
