Study Notes

Hazard Area Evacuation

Evacuation methods depend on hazard imminence, type, and affected area.
Initiate evacuation calls when an evacuation need is identified.
Evacuation calls can be made via radio or an All-Call depending on urgency.

Evacuation Call Procedures

Radio evacuation calls should be clear and notify all units to exit the hazard area.
Any evacuation request should be directed toward the Incident Commander (IC).
IC conducts a Personnel Accountability Report (PAR) after an evacuation order to confirm all personnel are safe.

All-Call Method

Utilized in emergencies and when radio communication fails.
Unit initiating an All-Call must inform the IC immediately after the call.
The IC takes over to confirm evacuation and initiate PAR.

Sounding the Air Horn

Use the steering column air horn to sound three series of three short blasts as an evacuation signal.
Must be executed from a fire apparatus and requires the parking brake to be set to deactivate sirens.

Rapid Intervention Crew (RIC)

IC may deploy RIC to retrieve crews that have not exited the hazard area.
RIC is a viable option to evacuate crews not responding to radio calls, especially in imminent danger situations.
