Who must be notified if a department vehicle becomes disabled?

Notifying the Office of Emergency Communications (OEC) is crucial when a department vehicle becomes disabled. The OEC plays a central role in coordinating emergency responses and maintaining communication for fire department operations. By informing OEC of the vehicle issue, they can initiate necessary support actions, such as dispatching assistance or coordinating alternative transportation in a timely manner.

The other choices may involve roles that could provide support or assistance, but the primary responsibility of ensuring that the disability of the vehicle is officially reported and managed falls under the purview of OEC to ensure all resources can be appropriately allocated.
