OPERATIONS AT MVAs

摘要

The toledo (OH) fire depart-ment has taken several steps to make operations at motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) safer. We require that all members operating at the scene wear reflective clothing while on-scene. All bunker gear has reflective stripes. Every apparatus has been issued four reflective vests firefighters can wear if the incident commander (IC) says bunker gear is not needed because of the nature of the incident. Although we do not have a specific procedure for placing apparatus at MVAs, officers are encouraged to spot their apparatus in a manner that protects victims and firefighters as much as possible.
