"When Seconds Count!" |
S.A.V.E. Teams / RTFS.A.V.E. Teams / Rescue Task Force has Emergency Medical Services (EMS) or Firefighters (F.F.) assigned to the Team as “Rescuers” - ALL UNARMED RESCUERS (EMS/F.F.) MUST HAVE MEMBERS OF THE PROTECTION ELEMENT (L.E.) PHYSICALLY WITH THEM PROVIDING SECURITY MEASURES AT ALL TIMES WHILE IN THE WARM AND HOT ZONES OF AN INCIDENT.
The only time EMS and F.F. can be without an assigned Protection Element physically with them is when they are in the cold zones (i.e., staging areas). If you are assigned to a Protection Element for F.F. or E.M.S., you shall not physically leave them at any time while they are in the warm or hot zone. |
