Use on-site salvage plans or expertise

Control Measure Knowledge

For a salvage or disaster plan to be implemented, attending crews need to be aware of its existence. If a salvage plan exists, the attending crew should liaise and work closely with the responsible person, either on-site or remotely, to ensure that salvage or disaster plans are implemented appropriately.

If an incident commander considers an area too dangerous to allow non-fire and rescue service personnel to implement their salvage or disaster plans (for example in the presence of a developing fire or heavy smoke logging), they should deny them access to that area. They should consider recording the decision in the incident command log or analytical risk assessment and the reasons supporting it.
