JFRD Standard Operating Guideline (SOG) Practice Test

When safety concerns are raised, the immediate action is to keep the Health and Safety Officer in the loop, and the next step is to bring the Fire Chief into the situation. This ensures executive-level awareness and the authority to allocate department-wide resources, approve policy changes, or re-prioritize operations as needed. The Incident Commander handles on-scene management, while the Company Officer runs the crew, and the Health and Safety Officer has just been informed, so the next formal escalation is to the Fire Chief.
