NIXA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT

Adopted/Revised Procedure # Title

12/24/03 805 Accountability System Page 1 of 8

805.0 ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM

This procedure identifies a system of incident site fire fighter accountability. The purpose is to account for all fire fighters within a small geographic area, within the "hazard zone" of an incident or during normal operations conducted during an incident. Use of the system will provide enhanced personal safety for the individual fire fighter, and will provide the Incident Command Organization staff an improved means to track and account for all personnel working in the hazard zone. The hazard zone will be defined as any area that requires an SCBA, a charged hose line and protective clothing or in which a fire fighter is at risk of becoming lost, trapped, or injured by the environment or structure, or in an area where the firefighter may be outside the line of sight of another individual. This would include entering a structure reported to be on fire, operating in close proximity to the structure during exterior operations, confined space or trench rescue, etc.
