Guidelines for Entry Control
- NOTE: The CACF location will impact operation within the Lobby Control Sector. The Lobby Control Sector Officer may need to utilize their crew to cover all responsibilities.
- Entry Control is initiated by the first in Officer at any high rise incident.
- If Elevator Control is assigned during an emergency, Entry Control will be assumed by the Firefighter assigned Elevator Control.

- Each Sector Officer initiates Entry Control for their Sector, using an Entry Control Board to identify a formal entry point.
- Entry Control is set up at the forward staging location for fire attack, not in an Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) atmosphere.
- It is the duty of all firefighters entering a Sector to find the Sector Officer (Entry Control) to PIT in and PIT out.
