It shall further be the responsibility of all Division Officers to train their subordinates in the proper application of these procedures and to implement and enforce the use of these procedures. III. IMPLEMENTATION: Because the Division experiences a large percentage of its vehicular accidents when backing, the following procedures are mandatory for use by any Division vehicle permanently staffed with two or more members. Vehicles assigned to individuals, vehicles in-transit while out of service, or vehicles forced to relocate at the scene of an emergency without the benefit of personnel to assist with backing, for example, should exercise extreme caution when backing, if indeed it is necessary at all. IV. ACCOUNTABILITY: Because backing a vehicle is an inherently risky operation, and Division policyclearlycalls for assistance with this procedure, both the driver/operator AND the officer or partner(s) will be held equally accountable for violations of this SOP. V. PROCEDURE: A. Driver and/or officer or partner(s) shall ensure at least one, if not more, member(s) is (are) off the vehicle assisting and directing the driver to assure a safe maneuver is completed. B.

UTILIZATION: The tools, equipment, lumber, and cribbing carried on the vehicles shall be used to assist rescue personnel at a technical rescue incident. V. RETURN TO SERVICE: The rescue companies on the incident shall see that the tools and equipment are returned to the vehicle after use. VI. WEEKLY CHECKS: The shall be checked by the assigned rescue companies on each Tuesday. The following times are recommendations. RSU 3 will be checked at 0900 hrs and RSU 16 will be checked at 1300 hrs with the following schedule. 1st Tuesday of the month. - R4 to RSU 3 - R11 to RSU 16 2nd Tuesday of the month. - R17 to RSU 3 - R4 to RSU 16 3rd Tuesday of the month. - R11 to RSU 3 - R17 to RSU 16 4th Tuesday of the month. - In house rescue only 5th Tuesday of the month. - In house rescue only The In-house rescue crews will work with the visiting crew to check and run equipment on the RSU as well as a vehicle check of the truck itself and completion of the daily EL69. Gas powered tools and equipment on the RSU should be run for a minimum of 15 minutes. To include the following; Stanley power unit, gas saws and generators. Generators should be exercised by plugging tools and equipment into them and running those tools i.e. lights, fans and drills. Continuously running generators without a load applied is not good for them. On the 4 th Tuesday or 5th (when there is one), In house crews should consider rotating the fuel found in the Stanley power unit and the generators for fresh gasoline, as well as rotating tool and camera batteries from the chargers. Additionally crews should take the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the other sys Some examples are, but not limited to, 1. Constructing Paratech shoring 2. Construct Artificial High Directional systems (Paratech and or Terradaptor) 3. Review Search Camera operations 4. Assemble the air system (without charging) for Paratech trench ops 5. Assemble the airbag systems Low/Medium/High pressure 6. Review power distribution for electronic tools i.e. Amps/watts/volts & generator capacity. This page left blank for 2 sided printing Standard Operating Procedures Subject: Radio Procedures S.O.P.

Section 3 Fireground Benchmarks 3.1 Fireground benchmarks are used to indicate the accomplishments of fireground objectives. Columbus Division of Fire | S.O.P. 01-02-02 Rev. 01/01/2019 2 of 4 3.2 Fireground benchmarks should be announced on the B# FG talkgroup. 3.3 The following fireground benchmarks shall be reported via radio: (1) (2) .

Number 01-02-04 Approved: Vol-CH-Cat.Sub Acting Fire Chief Issued: 07/01/1998 Reviewed: 12/01/2018 Revised: 01/01/2019 Section 1 Purpose 1.1 The purpose of this document is to provide a consistent policy for Urgent or Mayday communications on the fireground. Section 2 Urgent Communication 2.1 The Urgent message allows members who notice a warning sign of a pending hazardous situation to transmit that information to other members working in the area. 2.2 Examples of reasons to use the Urgent message are, but not limited to: 1) 2) 3) 4) 2.3 Early sign of potential collapse. Signs of possible backdraft or flashover. Loss of water on attack lines. Change from Offensive to Defensive Mode. When the hazard is noted the member will call on the fireground or tactical channel in which they are operating. The member will then give the situation status and an appropriate recommendation to protect members from the danger. 2.3.1 If necessary, the incident commander will then contact the member making the urgent transmission to find out more information. 2.4 Urgent Message Example Ladder 8 talkie #3 transmits Urgent message on FG: signs of collapse. All personnel evacuate the Alpha side Collapse Columbus Division of Fire | S.O.P. 01-02-04 Rev. 01/01/2019 1 of 3 Command (or Div. /Grp. Supervisor) repeats Urgent message on affected talkgroup or All Call All companies Urgent, we have a potential collapse of the Alpha side wall, all personnel evacuate the Alpha side Collapse Zone. Section 3 Mayday Communications 3.1 Mayday message is reserved for situations of imminent danger of personnel. 3.2 Mayday messages can be used for, but not limited to: 1) Member is trapped by collapse. 2) Member becomes lost, disoriented, or entangled. 3) Member becomes ill or injured inside the hazard zone and this injury may inhibit his safe exit. 3.3 Member(s) in imminent danger should transmit the message, MaydayMayday-Mayday L-U-N-A-R Repor 3.3.1 -U-N-AAn acronym for Location, Unit, Name, Air, Resources. This is critical information that should be obtained during a call of MAYDAY. 3.4 Command will declare Radio Restriction and repeat the message. 3.4.1 Prompts all listeners to stop talking over the radio unless a life safety message must be relayed. 3.5 Radio Restriction Tone. The Radio Restriction Tone will be activated by the FAO once a Mayday is declared. This is a tone that marks the channel every 10 seconds. It prompts listeners to stop talking and only the assigned companies will remain on this talkgroup. The audible tone does not affect communications. 3.6 After a Mayday Message is received, the affected talkgroup should only be used by the Incident Commander, Division or Group Supervisor or the Rapid Intervention Crew, in addition to the member who initiated the Mayday (SOP 01-02-02). 3.7 Once the Mayday is received and the IC determines that a change to talkgroup is necessary, TAC 1 will be pre-designated for fire ground operations. If TAC 1 is already in use then the IC will determine and change to 3.8 Example Firefighter Smith becomes trapped and transmits Mayday: Columbus Division of Fire | S.O.P. 01-02-04 Rev. 01/01/2019 2 of 3 -Mayday-Mayday! This is FF Smith from Engine 25, I am trapped under a collapsed ceiling on the second floor Bravo side bedroom, send help, I have 500 psi of air remaining, need air and help removing debris. Command repeats message and activates RIC on effected talkgroup and/or All Call Talkgroup: Command to all companies Radio Restriction; we have a Mayday on the fireground. FF Smith from E25 is trapped under a ceiling collapse in a bedroom on the Bravo side second floor. He has 500 psi of air and needs the RIC for air, extrication, and removal. All fire ground operations move to TAC 1. I repeat all fire ground operations mover over to TAC 1. BN 1 will take over the RIC group on BN 3 FG with E16, R16, and L1 3.9 After the Mayday is resolved the IC should announce the return to normal operations and may move companies back to the FG channel.
