Near-Miss Reporting System

Returning to the Station

Upon returning to the station, the firefighters remove any equipment that may need cleaning such as the SCBA units, axes, and their own personal gear and clean them to insure their readiness for another incident.  

 

The company’s apparatus operator (driver) insures that the truck is promptly placed back into a state of readiness, and that all equipment assigned to the apparatus is present, cleaned, and working properly.  He or she is also responsible for insuring the apparatus has an adequate supply of diesel for motor fuel, and water in the water tank for the initial attack.

 

The Company Officers begin the process of documenting and reporting the incident in the computer-based incident reporting system, which later generates the fire report needed by the property owner for insurance purposes.  This report contains data on the chronology of response by all responding units, information regarding the structure, location of the ignition within the structure, objects and materials damaged by fire, actions taken by the firefighters, and narrative by each Company Officer describing what was seen, done, and found.
