Study Notes
Incident Scene Rehabilitation (Rehab)
- Rehab aims to reduce risks of injury from extended operations under stress, ensuring no member exceeds safe physical or mental limits.
- Activation of rehab occurs during extreme temperatures or at the Incident Commander's (IC) discretion.
Work-to-Rest Ratios
- Standardized work and rest guidelines for operations using SCBA:
- For one 30-minute SCBA cylinder: 20 minutes of work, 10 minutes self-rehabilitation (hydration).
- After two 30-minute cylinders or one 45/60-minute SCBA with protective clothing: 40 minutes of work, 20 minutes rest with hydration.
Hydration Guidelines
- Hydration requires:
- 2-4 oz. of water every 20 minutes during firefighting or medical incidents.
- 15-30 minutes for hazardous material operations.
- For incidents exceeding two hours, members receive diluted sports drinks instead of water.
Rehab Levels and Functions
- Self-Rehabilitation: Occurs after short incidents with crew-level fluid access for hydration.
-
Formal Rehab: Managed by the Rehab Group for personnel under sustained exertion, providing:
- Physical assessments, rest, hydration, minor injury treatment, and stress support.
Resources for Rehab Group
- Possible resources include:
- EMSA, TFD rehab equipment, air & light units, hazmat resources, and fitness staff.
- Groups may call additional support as necessary for effective rehab operations.
Check-In and Monitoring
- Initial check-in includes pulse rate assessment; a pulse over 120 bpm requires immediate medical attention.
- Crew members with stable readings proceed to hydration areas for replenishment.
Hydration and Replenishment Area Requirements
- Personnel to rest for a minimum of 20 minutes in shaded, ventilated spaces.
- Hydration of at least 10 ounces during this period and participation in cool water immersion.
Medical Rehab and Transport Area
- Staffed by ALS crews with at least one transport vehicle for detailed health evaluations.
- Monitoring of vital signs including pulse, temperature, and signs of illness or injury is conducted.
Reassignment Process
- After a minimum of 20 minutes of cooling down, personnel reassessed and classified into:
- Return to duty if medically sound.
- Remove from duty if exhibiting signs of illness or injury.
- Transport to a medical facility for serious evaluations.
Responsibilities of Rehab Group Supervisor
- Assigned by the IC, the supervisor reports on rehabilitation status, crew availability for reassignment, and injuries.
- Company officers must ensure crew members are refreshed and medically cleared before returning to duty.
