  • Firefighter safety comes first on every wildland fire, every time.
  • The Standard Firefighting Orders are firm; we don’t break them, we don’t bend them.
  •  Every firefighter has the right to a safe assignment.
  •  Every Agency Administrator, every Wildland Fire Manager, every fireline supervisor, and every firefighter is responsible to ensure that established safe practices are known and observed.

 

Radio Etiquette

  • Listen for radio traffic before transmitting.
  • Know what you’re going to say before pressing the Push-to-Talk button.
  • After pressing the Push-to-Talk button, pause briefly (one second), and then speak into the microphone.
  • Speak clearly.
  • Use clear text (do not use ten codes).
  • Do not use foul language.
  • Keep radio traffic to a minimum.
  • Keep messages short and concise.
  • When making a call, identify yourself, unit calling, and radio channel you are transmitting on.  For example: Div A, this is Operations on Command.
  • Clear radio channel when conversation is finished. For example: Div A, clear.
