Study Notes
Fireground Accountability
- The document outlines safety protocols for accountability during a fire.
- All personnel are to be tracked using “Apparatus Cards.”
- Apparatus Cards are plastic cards with Velcro to attach nametags.
- Company officers are responsible for maintaining a “passport” for their crew.
- The passport reflects crew members entering the Hot Zone.
- Company officers are the primary supervisors of the task level.
- Companies working on the task level have the responsibility of personnel accountability.
- The Hazard Zone Tactical Level of the incident organization is managed by a Division Supervisor.
- The Division Supervisor is responsible for achieving the tactical objectives while being responsible for safety responsibilities.
- The Hazard Zone Strategic Level is managed by the Incident Commander.
- The Incident Commander is responsible for overall safety and deploying resources while maintaining an acute understanding of the position and function of all members assigned to the Hazard Zone.
- A PAR (Personnel Accountability Report) should be conducted every 15 minutes for members assigned to the incident scene.
- This should be done after any change in conditions that may alter or affect firefighter safety, and after ordering members to exit/abandon the structure as part of a strategic shift.
- PARs are conducted continuously for each company, division, or group working in a hazard zone.
- No PARs should be completed during a Mayday as a “NO-PAR” policy will be in effect.
Personnel Accountability
- Company Officers maintain task level personnel accountability through voice, vision, and touch.
- Division Supervisors maintain tactical level personnel accountability through access control and the use of passports.
- The IC maintains strategic level personnel accountability by knowing the position and function of all resources assigned to the scene.
- The IC may discontinue regular PARs when incident stabilization is achieved, and hazards are sufficiently reduced.
- Accountability remains during the entire incident and does not end until the last company leaves the scene.
- Upon returning to service, company officers should ensure that their apparatus passport is returned to the proper location.
