    Study Notes

    Personnel Accountability Report (PAR)

    • A Personnel Accountability Report (PAR) is an organized roll call of personnel to determine that they are accounted for.

    Running PAR

    • A Running PAR is a self-initiated means of communicating to Command and other personnel on the scene exactly how many personnel are contained in a team.
    • A Running PAR is announced at the end of each communication when:
      • Initially arriving on scene
      • There is a change in location
      • There is a change or completion of task
      • Entering or exiting a controlled area
      • There is a change in the number of personnel operating within a team

    Calling for a PAR

    • Any TFS personnel concerned for the safety or location of other TFS personnel can make a request for a PAR from Command at any time.
    • Command shall order a PAR when concerned for the safety or location of personnel.

    Conducting a PAR

    • Command will decide who is going to conduct the PAR.
    • Command may conduct the PAR, or it may be delegated to the Accountability Officer or Command Post Officer (CPO).
    • Command will decide whether it is a full or partial PAR (all personnel on scene, or specific crews).
    • Command will decide the order in which to call the PAR (e.g. prioritized by Sector, beginning with the Sector where there is the greatest concern for firefighter safety).
    • Individual firefighters, teams, Officers, Sector Officers, or Entry Control persons will communicate PAR information to Command.

    Responding to a PAR Request

    • When a PAR request is made by Command, teams will respond with only the word ‘PAR’ and no number because it is not a ‘running PAR’.
    • Command will know the number of personnel in your team because you have already established your running PAR.
