I need help with a disscusion thats been going around here at our station. The discussion is wether or not you should start ARFF apparatus with the headlights and or running lights in the "on" position. Our truck maintance guys say that it is putting a strain on the alternator and belts. We have asked Oshkosh and they stated that it only reduces the amps available for cold cranking and since our trucks are inside, this is not a factor, but our maintance guys are still held strong on their position. Just wanted to pick your brains and see what others in the ARFF business felt and do.

Thanks

Staging Officer/Manager Unit Log
Aug 07, 2008 - 11:42 AM - by xna1501
Hey all. I currently putting together a staging area kit for our police officers, as one of the will serve as the initial Staging Officer/Manager in an aircraft incident. I've already given them a brief powerpoint presentation I made on the ICS & Staging Officer duties, which made me realize that our current staging officer supplies and checklist are inadequate.

I've looked over the FEMA ICS-211 form, but it appears to be geared a little more toward wildland than I wanted. Just wondering if any of you have a good staging area unit log or checklist I could use or build from? Particularly one that would incorporate mututal aid units and resources.

Thanks!

Can anyone tell me where in the CFR's I can find where it states that the ARFF driver must stay with the vehicle in a mass casualty incident?
