Overview:
WFR's PASSPORT System is designed to track and account for Emergency Personnel at an incident. Integrated with WFR's Status & SCBA Control Boards it allows Incident Commanders to organize incoming resources and support functions. WFR's PASSPORT System products allow the user to implement personnel accountability in conjunction with the overall management efforts by utilizing Name Tags and Passports.
How It Works:
WFR's PASSPORT System is designed to be quick
and easy to place into operation.
1) Each station is issued a Status Board, SCBA Control Board.
2) A Primary PASSPORT is supplied for each vehicle in the station
(maximum of 6 per set).
Each member is issued a set of 3 color coded Name Tags, 1 Green, 1 Yellow, 1 Red (30 of each color supplied in kit).
Name
Tags will be placed to the underside of the member’s helmet. (note these tags
come blank and the department is to use the marker or an Dyno machine to make
name tags or numbers for their crew members)
3) At the start of the shift members place the green Name Tag on
the Backup PASSPORT (white) located on the dash or officers door of the
apparatus they are assigned to.
The yellow Name Tag will be affixed to the primary PASSPORT (black) located with the officer’s radio of the apparatus they are assigned to.
The
red Name Tag will be kept on the member's helmet and used for SCBA control
during Level III Accountability.
4) During a normal apparatus response, the Officer will have the
Primary PASSPORT (black) attached to his/her self (Level I Accountability).
Should the incident escalate, and the establishment of a command post be made, a safety/accountability officer should be assigned.
PASSPORTS will be transferred to command and placed on WFR's Status Board (Level II Accountability).
Tracking of additional units, location and assignments will be maintained on the Status Board.
If
first arriving units are engaged in Fire/Rescue activities Backup PASSPORTS
(white) will be retrieved from those units until such time Primary PASSPORTS
can be placed on the Status Board.
5) When firefighters are assigned to tasks that will involve the
use of SCBA, they are to report to the Accountability Officer, in pairs, to
have their assignment recorded.
They each give the Officer their red tag.
These tags are placed on the SCBA Control Board.
Then the lowest of the 2 air pressures are recorded.
The time they leave the control point (from the clock on the board), the estimated time (from experience of lapsed times) and the area of assignment.
When the firefighters come out, they are to report to the Accountability Officer and retrieve their red tags.
If they change tanks and are re-assigned, this must be recorded.
If
firefighters have not reported in at the due time, they are to be considered
missing, and appropriate measures taken.
6) At the end of the incident, each firefighter must have his/her red tag in place on his/her helmet and should return to the station on the same
vehicle that he/she arrived on.
7) On returning to the station, the officer is to double check
that all members listed on the Passport are, in fact, actually on the truck.
Anyone missing must be accounted for immediately.
8) At the end of the shift, the green and yellow tags are taken
from the Passports and stored on the helmet.
