What is the communication protocol for the 10th arriving engine company upon arrival?

Upon arrival at the scene, the 10th arriving engine company is instructed to report to the Lobby for check-in. This protocol is essential for maintaining structured communication among multiple units on the incident scene. The Lobby is typically designated as a command point where incoming crews can receive updated information, assignments, and tasking from command staff.

This coordinated check-in process helps to ensure that all responding units understand their roles and responsibilities, that resources are effectively managed, and that the overall incident action plan is successfully communicated. By directing the 10th engine to report to the Lobby, it facilitates a systematic approach to integrating this additional resource into operations, avoiding confusion and improving overall situational awareness.
