Info

• Individual will directly inform their supervisor that they are turning down the assignment as given. The most appropriate means to document the turn down is using the criteria (The Firefighting Orders, the Watch Out Situations, etc.) outlined in the Risk Management Process. • Supervisor will notify the Safety Officer immediately upon being informed of the turn down. If there is no Safety Officer, notification shall go to the appropriate Section Chief or to the Incident Commander. This provides accountability for decisions and initiates communication of safety concerns within the incident organization. • If the supervisor asks another resource to perform the assignment, they are responsible to inform the new resource that the assignment has been turned down and the reasons that it was turned down. • If an unresolved safety hazard exists or an unsafe act was committed, the individual should also document the turn down by submitting a SAFENET (ground hazard) or SAFECOM (aviation hazard) form in a timely manner. These actions do not stop an operation from being carried out. This protocol is integral to the effective management of risk as it provides timely identification of hazards to the chain of command, raises risk awareness for both leaders and subordinates, and promotes accountability. 19
Last Resort Survival LOOK AT YOUR OPTIONS AND IMMEDIATELY ACT ON THE BEST ONE! UTILIZE ALL P.P.E.! PROTECT YOUR AIRWAY! Escape if you can: • Drop any gear not needed for fire shelter deployment (keep your fire shelter, handtool, quart of water, and radio). • You may be able to use the fire shelter for a heat shield as you move. • In LIGHT FUELS, you may be able to move back through the flames into the black. • If you are on the flank of the fire, try to get below the fire. • Consider vehicles or helicopters for escape. Find a survivable area: • Stay out of hazardous terrain features. • Use bodies of water that are more than 2 feet deep. • In LIGHT FUELS, you may be able to light an escape fire. • In other fuels, you may be able to light a backfire. • Call for helicopter or retardant drops. • Cut and scatter fuels if there is time. • Use any available heat barriers (structures, large rocks, dozer berms). • Consider vehicle traffic hazards on roads. 20
