Personnel Accountability Report 2014 revised / snohomish county training officers
CHANGES TO PAR LANGUAGE Emergency PAR 6.11 EMERGENCY PAR: The incident commander (IC) will generally confirm a PAR with the supervisors managing companies or individual companies operating in a hazardous or IDLH area. An emergency PAR should be a quick rapid accounting of personnel while incident operations are conducted. In the event of a MAYDAY an emergency PAR will be conducted while rescue operations are being initiated. EXAMPLE: Hewitt Command has advised all units to stand by for an emergency PAR. You are assigned as the division “A” supervisor. As the division “A” supervisor you contact companies working in your division. “Engine 7 From Division “A”…Your PAR”, Engine 7 responds “Engine 7, PAR with 3”. Division “A” supervisor confirms 3 name tags on E7’s passport. Division “A” supervisor confirms each company is reporting the correct number of personnel as shown on their passport. Division “A” reports to IC “Division A is PAR with E1, E4, E5 and M5.” It is not necessary for division A to give the number to IC because IC does not have the passports. If a member of a company is discovered missing during the emergency PAR the way it is reported shall be; “E11 from division “A”…Your PAR?” Division “A” from E11, minus 1. Companies discovering a missing firefighter shall call a mayday immediately and not wait to be asked for a par report!
CHANGES TO PAR LANGUAGE Standard PAR 6.12 STANDARD PAR: The Incident Commander (IC) may perform a standard PAR at any time during an incident. Commonly a standard PAR is conducted tactics have changed on the fire ground or at when the IC begins to demobilize units. The IC confirms with all members operating at the incident (Individual companies, divisions, groups, branches, etc). EXAMPLE:“Main Street Command to all units operating at Main Street Incident stand by for standard PAR.”. Division A from Main Street Command…your PAR?” Division “A” will contact each company, “Engine 76 From Division “A”…Your PAR”, Engine 77 responds “Engine 76, PAR with 3”. Division “A” supervisor confirms 3 name tags on E76’s passport. Division “A” supervisor confirms each company is reporting the correct number of personnel as shown on their passport. Division “A” reports to IC “Division A is PAR with E71, E77, E13, and E43.” It is not necessary for division A to give the number to IC because IC does not have the passports. If a member of a company is discovered missing during the standard PAR the way it is reported shall be; “E68 from division “A”…Your PAR?” Division “A” from E68… minus 1. Companies discovering a missing firefighter shall call a mayday immediately and not wait to be asked for a par report!
CHANGES TO PAR LANGUAGE Purpose In developing this new procedure more emphasis is given to verifying personnel during a PAR. When firefighters are missing on the fireground those firefighters deserve that we make every attempt to gather as much information as possible and not accidently miss something because of a small discrepancy. Reporting numbers during a PAR creates a “checks and balances” system . If you are the one missing wouldn’t you want all of our attention be focused on finding you?
CHANGES TO PAR LANGUAGE Example 1 SNO CO FD 7 E71 You are the officer of E71. Your company is on floor 2 performing overhaul. The Incident Commander calls for a standard PAR on the fire ground. When the IC calls for the PAR from E71 you answer: R. WILSON M. LYNCH “E71 PAR with 3.” You can account for all members of your company by seeing them touching them or talking to them. Do not assume they are working with you. M. ROBINSON
CHANGES TO PAR LANGUAGE Example 2 SNO CO FD 1 E12 You are the incident commander at a room and contents fire. The fire has been called “tapped”. You decide to perform a standard PAR on the fire ground. You ask E12 for their PAR and they answer…“E12 PAR with 3.” Is this correct? S. LARGENT C. KENNEDY W. JONES W. JONES NO…Firefighter Jones’ nametag is upside down. An upside down nametag means that firefighter is pumping and with the apparatus. The company officer should not be accounting for that firefighter if they are not standing where he can touch/see FF Jones. As the Incident Commander you will confirm with E12 that they are PAR with 2 and FF Jones is at the apparatus.
CHANGES TO PAR LANGUAGE Example 3 SNO CO FD 7 E77 As the company officer, can you account for the pump operator? If you are in a position to account for your pump operator (i.e. you’re outside and see him/her). If you are accounting for them advise the person taking PAR that you are accounting for the pump operator. “E77 is PAR with 3 including the pump operator” The incident commander will see that FF Bevell is upside-down and is accounted for. P. CARROLL T. CABLE D. BEVELL
CHANGES TO PAR LANGUAGE Example 4 SNO. CO. FD 4 M42 You are the incident commander at a structure fire. During an “abandon the building” event and an EMERGENCY PAR, the company officer from M42 discovers R. Finkle is missing. How is the missing firefighter reported on the air? L. EINHORN R. FINKLE A. VENTURA “Command from M42…M42 is minus 1.” If you think your missing firefighter is in danger do not wait for your unit to be called in a PAR. Follow MAYDAY procedures.
CHANGES TO PAR LANGUAGE Example 5 EVERETT E07 LYNNWOOD E15 SNO CO FD 1 E12 SNO CO FD 7 L72 You have arrived on the second alarm of a commercial fire. The Incident Commander has assigned you as “Division C”. Command calls for a PAR on the fireground. What happens next? S. LARGENT E. THOMAS R. BRYANT C .AVRIL C. KENNEDY R. SHERMAN H. FARWELL B. IRVIN W. JONES K. CHANCELLOR L. JEANPIERRE C. CLEMONS M. SMITH
CHANGES TO PAR LANGUAGE Example 5 You contact each company. E12 PAR with 3 L72 PAR with 3 E15 PAR with 3 E07 PAR with 4 You verify each company as it is reported SNO CO FD 1 E12 EVERETT E07 SNO CO FD 7 L72 LYNNWOOD E15 Division C then reports back to the Incident Commander…”Division C is PAR with E76, L72, E15 and E07” S. LARGENT E. THOMAS R. BRYANT C .AVRIL C. KENNEDY R. SHERMAN H. FARWELL B. IRVIN W. JONES K. CHANCELLOR L. JEANPIERRE C. CLEMONS M. SMITH
CHANGES TO PAR LANGUAGE Example 5 EVERETT E07 LYNNWOOD E15 SNO CO FD 1 E12 SNO CO FD 7 L72 It is not necessary to give the incident commander the number of division C’s PAR. Incident Command does not have the individual tags and cannot verify any number you report. S. LARGENT E. THOMAS R. BRYANT C .AVRIL C. KENNEDY R. SHERMAN H. FARWELL B. IRVIN W. JONES K. CHANCELLOR L. JEANPIERRE C. CLEMONS M. SMITH
CHANGES TO PAR LANGUAGE Example 6 NORTH COUNTY M99 SNO CO FD 3 L31 LYNNWOOD E15 MARYSVILLE E62 SNO CO FD 7 E71 SNO CO FD 8 E81 You are the Incident Commander…These are your companies. E15 is the attack pumper. E71’s officer is Safety. How many personnel are on your incident? Z. MILLER J. RYAN D. BALDWIN P. McQUISTAN B. GIACOMINI L. WILLSON S. HAUSCHKA J. KEARSE J. SWEEZY R. OKUNG M. LYNCH C. MARAGOS P. HARVIN R. TURBIN M. UNGER M. ROBINSON B. MAXWELL 19 E71’s officer is on the safety spot of your command board and yourself as IC = 19
CHANGES TO PAR LANGUAGE Example 6 NORTH COUNTY M99 SNO CO FD 3 L31 MARYSVILLE E62 LYNNWOOD E15 SNO CO FD 7 E71 SNO CO FD 8 E81 You are the Division C Supervisor, A PAR is called for. What number should each company report to you? Z. MILLER J. RYAN D. BALDWIN P. McQUISTAN B. GIACOMINI L. WILLSON S. HAUSCHKA J. KEARSE J. SWEEZY R. OKUNG M. LYNCH C. MARAGOS P. HARVIN R. TURBIN M. UNGER M. ROBINSON B. MAXWELL Did you forget about the Driver/Operator? Upside down tags? As IC you will need to account for E15 driver.
CHANGES TO PAR LANGUAGE Example 6 NORTH COUNTY M99 SNO CO FD 3 L31 MARYSVILLE E62 LYNNWOOD E15 SNO CO FD 7 E71 SNO CO FD 8 E81 What is your report back to the Incident Commander? W. MOON J. RYAN D. BALDWIN P. McQUISTAN B. GIACOMINI S. RAIBLE S. HAUSCHKA J. KEARSE J. SWEEZY R. OKUNG M. LYNCH C. MARAGOS P. HARVIN R. TURBIN M. UNGER M. ROBINSON B. MAXWELL Division C is PAR with M99, L31, E15, E62, E81, E71
CHANGES TO PAR LANGUAGE Example 7 SNO CO FD 3 L31 MARYSVILLE E62 SNO CO FD 8 E81 LYNNWOOD E15 What do you do if E62 reports PAR with 3? J. RYAN D. BALDWIN P. McQUISTAN B. GIACOMINI S. HAUSCHKA J. KEARSE J. SWEEZY R. OKUNG C. MARAGOS P. HARVIN R. TURBIN M. UNGER B. MAXWELL Verify that FF Turbin is at the pumping apparatus and is part of you 3 PAR.
CHANGES TO PAR LANGUAGE Division and group supervisors do not account for them selves…Who does? The Incident Commander or whoever holds their tag. Why do we give numbers? To create a “check & balances” system. When something happens on the fireground and an EMERGENCY PAR is called for…our firefighters deserve the attention given to ensure a correct PAR is obtained. What if I cannot locate a firefighter during an EMERGENCY PAR after we abandon the building? Call a MAYDAY for your missing firefighter. Report to command that you are missing 1 and state last location. You do not have to wait for your company to be called during the PAR to report a missing firefighter.
