Who should you wait for before getting off the engine during an operation?

Your supervisor
Any firefighter
A civilian
An inmate

The correct answer is: Your supervisor

Waiting for your supervisor before dismounting the engine during an operation is crucial for several reasons. Supervisors are responsible for coordinating activities and ensuring safety protocols are followed. They have a broader overview of the situation and can provide directives that help maintain organized operations. In chaotic environments like wildland firefighting, where conditions may change rapidly, it’s essential to wait for a leader who can assess the situation effectively and determine the safest and most strategic time for firefighters to disembark. In addition, waiting for guidance from a supervisor helps ensure that all team members are accounted for and prepared to work cohesively. This practice minimizes the risk of accidents and enhances overall safety within the team. Clear communication from a supervisor sets the tone for operations, ensuring that everyone is on the same page regarding objectives, tactics, and safety measures.
