    • Rehabilitation shall commence whenever emergency operations or training exercises pose a potential safety or health risk to members.

    • Rehabilitation measures shall be implemented during live fire training, no matter the outdoor temperature, and NFPA 1403 must be followed.

    • Rehabilitation responsibilities include emergency personnel, company officers, and the incident commander, who must ensure all personnel receive the proper medical evaluation, monitoring, and clearance.
