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.
