STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 **401.00 [PURPOSE ]** Establish guidelines for radio operations between field personnel and Fire Rescue Communications Center (FRCC) during emergency and non-emergency incidents. Define JFRD Suppression/EMS assignments. **401.01 [800 MHz RADIO ]** The JFRD performs radio communications on the *First Coast Radio System* (FCRS), an 800 MHz trunked radio system, using mobile and handheld portables. There are six *Flights* available to the JFRD on the FCRS: ***A-Flight*** ***B-Flight*** ***C-Flight*** ***Inter Op*** ***Hospitals 1*** ***Hospitals 2*** **401.02 [ASSIGNMENT OF 800 MHz RADIO FLIGHTS ]** Assigning incidents to Flights and Talk Groups is the responsibility of FRCC. Units may request to isolate an incident on an alternate Flight and Talk Group, when necessary, by notifying FRCC after dispatch. FRCC may designate a Flight and Talk Group for the following: Incidents requiring 5 or more units Isolation of an Air Transport Unit (ATU) with Landing Zone Unit Mutual Aid assignments Special Event radio communications Non-emergency field communications Multi-department/agency communications Field training exercises 1 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE  FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 **401.03 [A-FLIGHT ]** 401.03.01 [A1 (EMS-EAST)] A1 is the primary Talk Group for EMS incidents occurring East or South of the St. John's River requiring dispatch of four or less units. After dispatch, responding units will place their radios on A1. Incidents assigned to A1 that require additional units which result in an assignment of 5 or more units will be isolated on B-Flight and assigned a Talk Group by FRCC. A1 will be monitored by FRCC at all times. 401.03.02 [A2 (DISPATCH) ] A2 is the dispatch Talk Group for both Suppression and EMS. FRCC will simultaneously broadcast dispatches across A1, A2, A3, and A4 for the benefit of all units. *Available* Suppression and EMS units are required to monitor A2 at all times. After dispatch, all relayed incident information and field requests shall be conducted on the assigned Flight and Talk Group. After completing the incident, units shall advise their disposition on the assigned Talk Group prior to returning to A2. All non-emergency status changes (A*vailable*, *In-Quarters*, *En-Route to Tactical Support*, etc.) shall be conducted on the PMDC or A2. Units advising "*Available*" on A2 without identifying destination will be assumed *Available* in *first-due* territory. A2 will be monitored by FRCC at all times. 401.03.03 [A3 (EMS-WEST) ] A3 is the primary Talk Group for EMS incidents occurring West or North of the St. John's River requiring dispatch of four or less units. After dispatch, responding units will place their radios on A3. Incidents assigned to A3 that require additional units which result in an assignment of five or more units will be isolated on B-Flight and assigned a Talk Group by FRCC. A3 will be monitored by FRCC at all times. 2 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 401.03.04 A[4 (SUPPRESS) ] A4 is the primary Talk Group for Suppression incidents requiring dispatch of four or less units. After dispatch, responding units will place their radios on A4. Incidents assigned to A4 that require additional units which result in an assignment of five or more units will be isolated on B-Flight and assigned a Talk Group by FRCC. A4 will be monitored by FRCC at all times. 401.03.05 [A5 (SP EVENT 1) and A6 (SP EVENT 2) ] Special Event teams will communicate on and monitor either A5 or A6, unless directed by FRCC to an alternate Talk Group. These channels are encrypted. Units dispatched to assist Special Event teams with emergency incidents will be instructed by FRCC to change to either A5 or A6. If upgraded to include five or more units, the incident may be isolated on B-Flight by FRCC or by field request. FRCC will monitor A5 and A6 when in use. 401.03.06 [A7 (REPEATER7) ] DVRS assigned to F7. 401.03.07 [A8 (SUPPORT) ] A8 shall be used for non-emergency communications between field personnel and Tactical Support personnel. Units shall return to A2 and notify FRCC when placed *Out-of-Service* or when advised to respond to a service facility. A8 is not routinely monitored by FRCC. 401.03.08 [A9 (REPEATER9) ] DVRS assigned to F9. 401.03.09 [A10 (MARINE) ] A10 is primarily used on marine incidents involving multiple agencies. It is permanently patched to JSO and FWC. A10 is not monitored by FRCC. 3 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE  FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 401.03.10 [A11 (TALK 1) and A12 (TALK 2) ] A11 and A12 are conventional, simplex radio frequencies used for short-range communication within distances of approximately one mile. These channels may be useful for deployments, company training, or any non-emergency close range communications. A11 and A12 are not monitored by FRCC. 401.03.11 [A13 (HANNA) ] A13 belongs to Hanna Park. It is commonly used by Ocean Rescue staff assigned to Hanna Park, call sign OCEAN 72. A13 is not monitored by FRCC. 401.03.12 [A14 (HUGUENOT) ] A14 belongs to Huguenot Park. It is commonly used by Ocean Rescue staff assigned to Huguenot Park, call sign OCEAN 73. A14 is not monitored by FRCC. 401.03.13 [A15 (ATU) ] A15 is used for communication between JFRD and Air Transport Units. A15 is monitored by FRCC when in use. 401.03.14 [A16 (TRAINING) ] A16 is used for communication between units engaged in training exercises. A16 is not monitored by FRCC. **401.04 [B-FLIGHT ]** There are four Talk Groups located on B-Flight for isolating major incidents (B1, B5, B9, and B13). EMS and Suppression incidents requiring five or more units will be isolated on B Flight and assigned a Talk Group by FRCC. 4 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 FRCC will rebroadcast the assigned Talk Group 15 seconds after initial dispatch for the benefit of responding units. All the Talk Groups have expansion capabilities, in addition to the Main */ Sector Fire Group*: 2 Expansion Fire Groups (Sector) 1 Announcement Group (AG) Responding units will initially be assigned to the Main group. Incident Commanders (IC) will use expansion groups at their discretion. The Announcement Group (AG) is used for simultaneously broadcasting information across the assigned Talk Group as well as both its expansion groups. The AG cannot receive transmissions. Radio channels must be returned to *Main* or one of the other expansion groups in the assigned Talk Group to have two-way communications. B-1 Talk Group B-5 Talk Group -------------------------- -------------------------- B1 (main/sector) B5 (main/sector) B2 (sector) B6 (sector) B3 (sector) B7 (sector) B4 (Announcement Group) B8 (Announcement Group) B-9 Talk Group B-13 Talk Group B9 (main/sector) B13 (main/sector) B10 (sector) B14 (sector) B11 (sector) B15 (sector) B12 (Announcement Group) B16 (Announcement Group) **401.05 [C-FLIGHT ]** The C-Flight is a shared system throughout City agencies, but some *Talk Groups* (specific channels within the Flight) are specific to an agency/department. **C1 - RPTR1** DVRS assigned to Fire 1 **C2 - JB OR** Jacksonville Beach Ocean Rescue **C3 - CECIL OPS** Cecil Field Operations **C4 - JAA OPS** Jacksonville Airport Authority Operations **C5 - RPTR5** DVRS assigned to Fire 5 **C6 - NIMSN** National Incident Management North Branch **C7 - NIMSS** National Incident Management South Branch 5 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE  FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 **C8 - NIMSE** National Incident Management East Branch **C9 - NIMSW** National Incident Management West Branch **C10 -- JFRD/JSO** Common channel for JFRD/JSO joint operations **8TAC94 (C11)** National Mutual Aid Tactical 4, **Fire 8 Repeater** **8TAC93 (C12)** National Mutual Aid Tactical 3 **8TAC92 (C13)** National Mutual Aid Tactical 2 **8TAC92 (C14)** National Mutual Aid Tactical 1 **8TAC92 (C15)** National Mutual Aid Tactical 0 **MA - FLA (C16)** Florida Mutual Aid 401.05.01 [National Mutual Aid Communications ] C11 through C15 are the National Mutual Aid and Tactical Talk Groups used during incidents requiring assistance across county/state lines. 401.05.02 [State Mutual Aid Communications ] C16 (MA--FLA) is the Florida Mutual Aid Channel designated for use during a major incident within the state requiring statewide Mutual Aid. **401.06 [INTEROP ]** The InterOp-Flight is dedicated to surrounding county Fire and Rescue agencies and the Emergency Operations Center. **401.07 [Hospital Flight 1 ]** Hospital Flight 1 is dedicated to area hospitals for unit to hospital communication, with each hospital having a dedicated channel. 6 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 **401.08 [Hospital Flight 2 ]** Hospital Flight 2 is dedicated to area hospitals and future hospitals for unit to hospital communication, with each hospital having a dedicated channel. **401.09 [MUTUAL AID COMMUNICATIONS ]** When responding to immediate surrounding counties and municipalities, the means to communicate with other departments will vary. See Appendix E for detailed information. At times, it may require FRCC or the other department to "patch" a radio channel between JFRD and that department. When a patch occurs, you will be able to use the assigned channel to communicate with both FRCC and the surrounding county's units. **401.10 [DIGITAL VEHICULAR REPEATER SYSTEM (DVRS) ]** The DVRS is a small rugged, self-contained radio base station that improves portable radio coverage in challenging structure types, such as high-rises. When utilized, the appropriate chief will announce for crews to switch to the appropriate radio channel (C1, C5, A7, or A9). Fire 1, Fire 5, Fire 7, and Fire 9 currently have these devices in their vehicles. Fire 8 is equipped with a standard conventional repeater that utilizes the **C11**-8TAC94 channel. No specialized/dedicated channel is needed. **401.11 [FLORIDA INTEROPERABILITY NETWORK (FIN) ]** FRCC is equipped with a *Florida Interoperability Network* (FIN) radio to communicate with other county agencies directly. The FIN may be patched directly into the 800 MHz radio system, allowing JFRD field personnel to communicate with Mutual Aid counties, if necessary. FRCC will notify JFRD units participating in a Mutual Aid incident of the designated Talk Group. 7 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE  FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 **401.12 [METRO-JAX TALKGROUP ]** FRCC is equipped with the Metro-Jax Talkgroup. It is designed to allow for emergency dispatch centers to immediately communicate with the other public safety communication centers in the region when a major incident occurs. This channel will be used to coordinate needs and responses among the communication centers. **401.13 [EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS ]** Telephone, computer, printer, or software problems shall be relayed to ITD (Information Technologies Division). Requests for station equipment problems shall be submitted through the Tivoli system or by calling 255-1818. Urgent repairs occurring outside normal business hours that require overtime must be authorized by the FRCC shift supervisor. Power failures at the station shall be reported to FRCC. Field personnel are responsible for monitoring the radio until the power is restored. Field personnel shall inform FRCC as soon as the power is restored. **401.14 [FIRE RESCUE COMMUNICATIONS CENTERS ]** The Fire Rescue Communications Center (FRCC) has two locations. The Primary center is located at JFRD Headquarters (515 N Julia St), and the Back Up Communications Center (BUCC) is located at Cecil Airport (5847 Aviation Ave). Both Communications Centers are fully equipped for continuous JFRD operations and therefore may be used interchangeably or simultaneously. FRCC will keep personnel updated as to which is center is active and serving as the main dispatch center. 401.14.01 [Fire Alarms and Investigations at FRCC ] Should a Fire Alarm, investigation, or an unconfirmed fire occur at a FRCC location that is actively operating as the main dispatch center, the following shall apply: The first arriving unit must report to the Communications Center to determine if it is safe for FRCC staff to remain in place If deemed safe, the IC or Company Officer shall assign someone to remain in FRCC until the incident is under control 8 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 **401.15 [FIELD RADIO OPERATION PROCEDURES ]** Unit identification will precede all field radio transmissions. To facilitate field communications, units requesting location or status of another unit will be directed to the appropriate Talk Group by FRCC. Units shall attempt to clear Talk Groups A1, A2, A3, and A4 after hearing emergency dispatch tones (Alert 3, three short beeps in succession) transmitted by FRCC. Non-essential field communication, personal statements, and catcalls are not permitted. FRCC shall repeat the following transmissions from field units, including pertinent additional information received from on-scene personnel: Disposition updates ("*Available*," "*On-Scene*," etc.) EMS Alerts (Trauma Alert, Cardiac Red, etc.) W Signals Maydays Signal 34s FRCC will not acknowledge units advising "*En-Route*," as this statement is an acknowledgement of dispatch. If units advise "*En-Route*" from a specific location, FRCC will acknowledge the unit and repeat the location. 401.15.01 [Unit Status Updates ] In an effort to reduce radio traffic, units shall conduct all status changes via the PMDC without the involvement of FRCC. This includes both, dispositions (*Romeo, India, etc.)* and non-emergency status updates (*Available, In quarters, etc.)*. Units en-route to maintenance facilities or other non-emergency operations will advise FRCC when *Out-of-Position, On-Scene, Assignment Complete,* and *Back-In-Position.* Upon returning to service in *first-due* territory (from maintenance, assigned incidents, etc.) units will be notified by FRCC of incidents in progress that the unit would normally be assigned to for response. 9 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE  FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 401.15.02 [Non-Emergency Field Requests ] Units requesting to leave *first-due* territory while remaining in service will: Secure permission from the appropriate Chief Coordinate through FRCC Units will coordinate with FRCC any unscheduled training or apparatus/equipment testing which may result in a delayed response. 401.15.03 [Field Communications During Emergency Response ] On-scene units shall directly inform responding units of response status when applicable ("*Cance*l," "*Rapid Response*," etc.) without involving FRCC. On all EMS Alerts and W Signals, units shall include all pertinent information necessary for relay by FRCC. Units shall relay any posted or key holder information to FRCC in order to assist in notifications. Units shall immediately advise FRCC of changes in location or Call Description. During multi-unit assignments, companies staging at hydrants will advise their location for the benefit of the IC. FRCC will repeat the unit and location. Units shall notify FRCC immediately when emergency responses are delayed (slow moving train, road blockages, road obstructions, vehicle malfunctions, etc.). FRCC will dispatch the next closest available unit (assisted by the next-due fully staffed/ equipped unit, if applicable) immediately after receiving notification. Units may advise alternate routes and alternate units for dispatch to offset response delay. Units shall advise FRCC immediately when clear of delay and if continuing response. The following notifications shall generate the 10-minute increment notification from FRCC: Incident Command, Signal 34, Mayday, STEMI Alert, Stroke Alert, Trauma Alert, and Trauma Red. FRCC will broadcast on the Talk Group involved, the location and duration of the incident in 10-minute increments. The 10-minute increments will begin when the applicable command or notification is advised, except for structure fires. The 10-minute increment timer for structure fires shall begin upon dispatch of the incident. The 10-minute notifications will continue until FRCC has been advised that the situation is under control or patient transport is in progress. The 10-minute increments will be acknowledged by the person in charge. 10 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 Cardiac Reds will generate a 20-minute timer. When Incident Command is established, personnel establishing and assuming Command will utilize "*Command*" as their radio designation for the duration of the incident or until relieved of Command by another JFRD officer. During multi-unit responses, units (including those equipped with PMDC's) shall report all *On-Scene*s directly to FRCC. 401.15.04 [Hospital Communications ] FRCC will advise Rescue Units when a hospital is unable to accept patients due to an *Internal Disaster* (e.g., power failure, water leak, fire). Units advising Trauma Alert, Stroke Alert, STEMI Alert, Cardiac Red, or Trauma Red will do so as soon as practical, giving: Criteria if applicable Hospital destination ETA to hospital After receiving a Trauma Alert, Stroke Alert, STEMI Alert, Cardiac Red, or Trauma Red notification, FRCC will contact the appropriate hospital emergency facility relaying all information received. 401.15.05 [Other Agency Requests ] FRCC shall note all other agencies contacted to assist JFRD units on initial dispatch in the additional information field (JEA en-route, JSO responding, Pop A-Lock en-route, etc.). If the supporting agency(s) are not required, units should advise FRCC as soon as possible to cancel them. Units requesting assistance from other agencies (JEA, JSO, Pop-a-Lock, etc.) shall specify the nature at the time of request. Just as is the case with JFRD, these other agencies need detailed information so that they can dispatch appropriately. 401.15.06 [Apparatus Problems ] Units with vehicle maintenance issues shall contact the Tactical Support Facility during business hours via A8. After hours or holidays, units shall contact FRCC. 401.15.07 [Systemwide Radio Failure ] Should a systemwide radio failure occur, on-duty personnel must return to their assigned station immediately. 11 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE  FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 FRCC will continue to dispatch units via the CAD/PMDC, and Red Phone, as necessary. Field units must make status updates (i.e., enroute, on-scene, available, etc.) via the PMDC. If unable to do so, or for other critical messaging, FRCC should be contacted by Red Phone or their direct line at 630-0522. As a last resort, and for the benefit of being able to communicate with nearby units, the following conventional simplex channels shall be utilized. These channels will allow units that are within close range, approximately one mile, of each other to communicate. A11 for units East and South of the St. Johns River A12 for units West and North of the St. Johns River Meanwhile, FRCC must also complete the following tasks as soon as possible: Contact the Radio Shop to determine the situation and expected length of outage Email "FIRE" advising of the situation and the need for on-duty units to return to their assigned station ASAP Issue BOLO message to all PMDCs advising of the situation and the need for all units to return to their assigned station ASAP Issue message to all Stations via the Purvis Station Alerting System advising of the situation and the need to remain at the station unless dispatched on a call Notify the JFRD Admin Group via the Ready Op messaging Notify all hospitals about the temporary inability to transmit Med Reports **401.16 [DISPATCHED UNITS ]** 401.16.01 [Units Responding from Quarters ] All dispatches of units in quarters will be preceded by an *Alert 1* (single alert tone of at least a 1-second duration), followed by all applicable dispatch information. It is the responsibility of field personnel to notify FRCC immediately if the unit dispatched: Is not in quarters Is not appropriately staffed to handle incident Has limited capabilities and is unable to handle incident 401.16.02 *A[vailable ]*[Units ] All dispatches of units on an *Available* status will be preceded by an *Alert 2* (alternating "hi-low" alert tone of at least a 1-second duration), followed by all applicable dispatch information. 12 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 If a response is not received from a dispatched unit within 15 seconds of initial dispatch, FRCC will attempt to contact the unit directly by radio and/or red phone. If the unit fails to respond after the second attempt, the next closest available unit will be dispatched and assisted by a fully staffed and equipped unit if applicable. FRCC will contact the appropriate Suppression or Rescue Chief and relay the unit's failure to respond. It is the responsibility of field personnel to notify FRCC immediately if the unit dispatched: Is not closest responder at its current location Is not appropriately staffed to handle incident Has limited capabilities and is unable to handle incident **401.17 [ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF DISPATCH ]** 401.17.01 [Units Responding from Quarters ] Units in quarters will acknowledge receipt of dispatch by performing one of the following in descending order: Pressing station FSAS confirmation button. This action by itself does not confirm you are enroute Confirming dispatch via red phone Advising Enroute on appropriate Talk Group Pressing the Enroute button on PMDC if equipped 401.17.02 *A[vailable ]*[Units ] *Available* units shall acknowledge dispatch by advising "*En-Route"* and their current location on the appropriate Talk Group (this includes apparatus equipped with PMDC's) for the benefit of surrounding units. FRCC will acknowledge "*En Route*" by repeating the unit's current location only. *Available* units hearing dispatch of an incident or advised of an incident near their current location will briefly confer with initially dispatched unit to determine which is closer. The responding unit must advise FRCC of the decision. When an incident is dispatched near their current location, *Out-of-Position* units that are on an *Available* status shall advise FRCC if they are closer than the responding units. 13 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE  FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 **401.18 [FRCC DISPATCH PROTOCOL ]** The type and amount of information received will dictate the initial assignment dispatched. The closest available unit will be dispatched to an incident and, if necessary, supported by the next available appropriately equipped and staffed company. 401.18.01 [Diverting Units ] FRCC shall divert units to other incidents based on the criteria that life takes precedence over property. If units are diverted, the next closest available unit will be dispatched to the first incident and assisted by a fully staffed/equipped unit, if applicable. Responding units may divert to a second incident, which exceeds the initial assignment in priority after advising they are closer and receiving approval from FRCC. A second unit will be dispatched to the first incident, as FRCC is notified of such. 401.18.02 [Cancellations ] Only the patient or complainant may request cancellation of responding units prior to the arrival of JFRD or JSO personnel. Upon FRCC relaying complainant/patient request, units may cancel at their discretion. FRCC will relay cancellation requests from units on-scene or JSO personnel to responding units. Responding units may advise "*Available*" or proceed at their discretion. 401.18.03 [Fire Alarms/False Alarms ] FRCC will relay all pertinent information received from alarm companies whether the units are en-route or on-scene. Field personnel will utilize this information at their discretion. 401.18.04 [Downgrading/Upgrading Alarms ] During multi-unit responses, the downgrading of an initial assignment may occur if an on-scene unit provides an initial report, a fire classification, and the appropriate Chief acknowledges the report. Chief Officers or FRCC may then direct responding units to utilize PMDC's or A2 to go available. Units on scene are not included. 14 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 Companies that possess special or prior knowledge of a dispatched location or situation may alter an assignment (upgrade or downgrade) at any time by immediately notifying FRCC of their decision. When information is received that would increase the amount and type of apparatus/equipment needed, assignments will be upgraded immediately. FRCC shall upgrade an assignment based upon information received from a complainant, another agency, or field personnel, provided responding units have not arrived. 401.18.05 [Limited Jurisdiction Areas ] When an incident occurs near a county line or military base, FRCC personnel shall automatically contact the adjacent county or agency and inquire on the availability of emergency units for assistance. JFRD Suppression apparatus will not be assigned to an EMS incident at NAS JAX or NAS Mayport unless specifically requested by the naval facility. Misrouted emergency rescue requests from on-base naval housing received by FRCC will be relayed to the Navy Regional Dispatch Center. FRCC will dispatch units when assistance is requested by the naval facility. FRCC shall contact UNF police for assistance at all incidents occurring on the University of North Florida Campus. FRCC shall notify Atlantic Beach Police and Neptune Beach Police of all life threatening incidents occurring within their jurisdiction. 401.18.06 [Law Enforcement Dispatched for Scene Safety ] The appropriate police agency will be dispatched to bars, lounges, or any high risk location where JFRD field personnel may be in danger. Responding units will be advised immediately as to any unusual or dangerous circumstances (fights in progress, suspect on scene, etc.) The appropriate police agency will be dispatched for traffic control on the initial dispatch of commercial structure fires, apartment fires, hazardous material incidents, and mass casualty incidents. 15 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE  FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 401.18.07 [Automated Skyway Express ] FRCC shall notify the Skyway Control Center Operator via the Red Phone if any incident involves the Skyway. FRCC shall instruct the operator to de-energize the rail system until verification of the incident location has been established. If an emergency occurs outside normal Skyway hours of operation, FRCC will contact the Skyway Operations Manager to meet the awaiting Suppression Company at the Control Center. 401.18.08 [Tankers] Tankers will automatically be assigned when they appear in the suggested assignments and upon field request. 401.18.09 [Ladders ] Ladder companies are the primary dispatch to all special details, low hanging wires, wires down, wires arcing or sparking, and children locked in vehicles when they are the closest available unit. 401.18.10 [Squads ] Squads are defined as an engine in their 1^st^, 2^nd^, and 3^rd^ due territories. On all other assignments, their main duty is to establish a Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) with a focus on rapid intervention and firefighter survival. All structure fires, Hazardous Materials incidents, and Special Operations incidents will require *at least* one Squad assigned as RIT. 401.18.11 [Chiefs ] The appropriate Chief will automatically be assigned when they appear in the suggested assignments, upon field request, or at the discretion of the FRCC Supervisor. The Technical Rescue Team Chief (Fire 4) will respond to: Special Operations incidents Incidents requiring deployment of the Technical Rescue Team The Firefighting/Marine Operations Chief (F8) will respond to: Significant ship/boat accidents and other marine incidents 16 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 The Hazardous Materials Chief (Fire 9) will respond to: Hazardous Materials incidents requiring a full team The Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Chief (Fire 11) will respond to: Alerts at JAA operated airports (JIA, Cecil, Craig, and Herlong) Any incidents involving aircraft, regardless of location 401.18.12 [Command Van ] The Command Van will be assigned at the request of the Incident Commander or when they appear in the suggested assignments, 401.18.13 [Air Truck ] The Air Truck will be assigned to all confirmed *W3s,* when they appear in the suggested assignments, or upon request by field personnel. 401.18.14 [Rehab Unit ] The Rehab Unit serves as the primary apparatus for delivering rehabilitation equipment and supplies to an emergency scene. The Rehab Unit will be assigned to all confirmed *W3s,* when they appear in the suggested assignments, or upon request by field personnel. **401.19 [FIELD REPORTS / BENCHMARKS ]** 401.19.01 [Initial Report ] The first-arriving unit of a multi-unit response shall transmit a brief initial radio report including: 1\. Unit identification on-scene 2\. Building/incident description (occupancy, size, construction) 3\. Obvious conditions and initial tactics 401.19.02 [Fire Classifications ] **Any fire that involves FLAME damage to the structure will require the response of a Suppression District/Battalion Chief.** **W1 -** One Suppression unit required to handle incident (see SOG 406, Appendix B for full description) **W2 -** Two or more Suppression units required to handle incident (see SOG 406, Appendix B for full description) 17 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE  FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 **W3 -** Full Assignment or Maximum Full Assignment required to handle incident (see SOG 406, Appendix B for full description) **2^nd^ Alarm, 3^rd^ Alarm, 4^th^ Alarm, 5^th^ Alarm --** See section 401.31 401.19.03 [Suppression Benchmarks] (see SOG 406.09.05) Primary Search Complete *Situation Under Control* *Secondary Search Complete* *W4* 401.19.04 [EMS Alerts ] MCI Level I (5-10) victims MCI Level II (11-20) victims MCI Level III (21-100) victims MCI Level IV (101-1000) victims MCI Level V (over 1000) victims Trauma Alert Stroke Alert STEMI Alert Cardiac Red Trauma Red **401.20 [FIELD PERSONNEL EMERGENCIES ]** 401.20.01 [Emergency Alarm Button ] If an emergency arises that may compromise the health, safety, or welfare of on duty JFRD personnel, the orange *Emergency Alarm Button* located on the portable radio should immediately be activated. Depending on whether it is a Mayday or Signal 34 situation, personnel should clearly state: Unit identification "Mayday! Mayday! Firefighter down/missing!" Present location of missing/trapped personnel, if known [OR ] Unit identification "Signal 34" Present location Activating the orange Emergency Alarm Button sets off an alarm and displays the unit's portable radio ID on all radio positions in FRCC. 18 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 Activating the orange Emergency Alarm Button will automatically lock down the channel and open the mic for 20 seconds, after that the mic must be physically keyed for Communications to receive any radio traffic. Not all ID numbers reflect a company or unit's portable radio. The ID number displayed If Emergency Alarm Button is **activated in error**, the unit shall notify in FRCC may belong to the portable radio itself. Therefore, if possible, it is imperative FRCC immediately and **advise "Situation Under Control."** each company or unit in distress announce their Unit name, number, and location.

Dispatch centers will relay info. **[MARINE CHANNEL (A10) ]** **JFRD Radios** Our Marine channel is **A10**. You can communicate with the marine agencies listed below. **Various Agencies Radios** Coast Guard**,** FWC, JSO, Nassau, St. Johns, and Clay, all have it but under varying names. **[OTHER HELPFUL INFORMATION ]** If utilizing another department's (Clay, St John's) radio channel, you are keying up on a radio tower in their county. This means that you must be close to that county before achieving reception. If utilizing another department's (Clay, St John's) radio channel, FRCC is not able to monitor. Should you need to communicate with FRCC, you'll need to either switch back to a JFRD channel or maintain JFRD communications on a second radio. The NIMS channels are a reliable means of communication in this region if bordering departments switch to the same NIMS channel, except in Baker County as noted above. The simplex channels are A11 & A12. These are very short range. They are ideal for deployments when units are within a few miles of each other. FRCC can't monitor. If you operate on a JFRD Bravo channel in another county, be aware that you are utilizing radio towers in Duval County. Get very deep into the other county and you will lose reception. 46 of 49 STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES TITLE: Communications CITY OF JACKSONVILLE FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT CREATED: 08/89 REVISED: 5/23 SOG: 401 **[APPENDIX F ]** NOT TESTABLE **[RADIO TERMINOLOGY ]** **401.47 [STANDARD PHRASES ]** The following are standardized phrases to be used in JFRD radio transmissions: ***Acknowledge*** -- (message understood) ***Affirmative*** -- (yes/correct) ***All Clear*** -- Indicates Primary or Secondary Search is complete ***Available*** ***ASAP*** (As Soon As Possible) ***Can you copy?*** ***Cancel*** ***Change to Talk Group*** ***Completed Assignment*** ***Did you receive the message?*** ***Disregard*** ***Emergency Traffic*** ***End of message*** ***ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival)*** ***In Quarters*** ***Location?*** ***Loud and Clear*** ***Message Delivered*** ***Negative*** ***On-Scene*** ***Out-of-Service*** ***Rapid Response*** ***Receiving Poorly*** ***Relayed Information*** ***Repeat*** ***Responding*** ***Returning/Return to Quarters*** ***Situation Under Control*** -- During structure fires, indicates forward progression of fire is stopped.
