Staging Procedure:
- North Comm/TECC (dispatch center) determines if staging is necessary based on the 911 call.

- A specific communication channel is assigned for the incident by North Comm/TECC.
- Units respond non-emergency to a staging area, determined by the apparatus officer or incident commander.
- The staging area should be at least 0.5 miles from the dispatched location, but this distance can increase based on threats and safe staging availability.
- Units cleared into the scene before others arrive upgrade to emergency traffic.
- All responding units communicate their staging location via radio.
- Staging location should be hidden from the scene.
- Upon arrival, units verbalize their staging location ("staged at (location)") via radio.
- If a prior unit is staged but doesn't announce their location, later units should locate it using mapping software and stage there.
- Units remain at the staging area until cleared by North Comm/TECC or law enforcement.
- North Comm/TECC communicates with law enforcement, provides staging locations of fire and EMS units, and records time references.
