- White: Chief Officer
- Red: Company Officer
- Fluorescent Green: Fire Equipment Operator
- Fluorescent Yellow: Firefighter
- Fluorescent Orange: Staff
- Dark Green: Probationary Firefighter in Training
- Name Tag: Identifies individuals within the TFD structure. Colors indicate rank:

Equipment Replacement and Call-Back Kits
- Requests for replacement items go to Physical Resources.
- Off-duty personnel need to report to base/staging for assignment and will receive helmet IDs and passports.
- Crews are assigned a "C" and three-digit number system for identification.
Accountability Procedures
- Officer Responsibility: Company officers manage accountability; IC oversees all personnel at incidents.
- Team Cohesion: Companies must enter, work, and exit together, ensuring clear communication about radio transfers to prevent confusion.
Accountability Levels
- Basic Accountability: Involves leaving primary and secondary passports on the apparatus. Used during general responses, personnel report to command post with nametags.
- Full Accountability: Passports act as access tickets to hazardous areas. IC designates check-in points for safety in complex incidents.
Personnel Accountability Reports (PARS)
- IC requests PARs at set intervals during incidents, particularly after 30 minutes, during transitions, or after significant events (collapse, explosion).
- Communication protocols involve structured exchanges of status between command and crews.
Two-In/Two-Out Policy
- Requires initial entry crews to have two additional members outside the hazardous area for safety. One member must maintain communication.
- Exception for rescues allows two members to enter with one outside, but this does not apply to all IDLH situations.
Rapid Intervention Crew (RIC)
- Established once multiple companies are operating in a hazard area. RIC must be fully equipped for potential rescues.
- RIC members may perform other tasks but must prioritize rescue readiness and are supported by Technical Rescue Units when necessary.
RIC Duties
- Maintain awareness of interior company locations and activities.
- Familiarize with building layout for effective rescue efforts.
- Establish secondary egress routes for responding teams.
- Assemble essential equipment: flashlights, radios, forcible entry tools, thermal imaging cameras, and RIC Kits.
- Remove barriers obstructing firefighter egress during rescue operations.
