Guide to SRT Responses for MABAS Box Cards Division 5 Updated: 6/28/2018 The following procedure will guide you in designing your SRT Cards to maintain consistency in responses of the SRT. SRT Box Cards will be reviewed in October and re-issued in January on an annual basis. It is important to note that there must be a separate card for each discipline. This will eliminate any confusion by the MABAS Division Dispatch in the event of an incident. The box card templates are considered minimums for the equipment and technicians required for teams to operate safely and efficiently. Using the attached SRT box card templates, insert each Fire Department that you want to respond with technicians on each box level. DO NOT list All Division 4 and 5 Technicians on any alarm level. Refer to the SRT Technicians by FD List in this guide. MABAS Division 4 Dispatch will ensure the minimum numbers of technicians are responding. Each local fire department / district should fill in an adequate still alarm response for initial operations. Include applicable ARA s. Provide additional engines, ambulances, trucks, squads, chiefs and special equipment to support the incident operation at each alarm level. Each SRT discipline will provide a Safety Officer who will focus on the Team operations. The IC should designate a Safety Officer for the overall incident. The SRT Administrative Coordinator, Team Leaders and SRT Ops Chiefs will be notified by MABAS 4 Dispatch (via text page) and report to an incident scene as a resource for the Incident Commander. For extended operations, teams may request the deployment containers. 1
Interdivisional assignments are left to the discretion of the individual department/district. Choose the closest divisions (see map) with the appropriate resources. DO NOT put resources from other divisions in the Box through 5 th alarm area. The following Divisions in the region also have recognized teams: Tech Rescue Haz-Mat 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16, 20 1, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16, 20 Dive 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 12 *4, 15, 16, 24, 36, 41, 56 # 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 15, 19, 36 Wildland (Brush Trucks) Swift / Flood Water Rescue 5, 101, 102, 103 1, 3, 24 Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Underwater Robot 3 & 24 Sonar (*=side scan; # = sector scan) Midwest Regional MABAS Divisions 2
