What type of vehicle do the PBCFR SOGs primarily apply to?

The PBCFR SOGs are specifically designed to govern the operations and standards for fire apparatus and emergency response vehicles. These guidelines focus on the unique requirements and operational protocols necessary for effective emergency response, which include considerations such as equipment use, safety measures, maneuverability, and communication protocols relevant to high-stakes situations typically encountered by fire and emergency services.

In contrast, personal vehicles, delivery trucks, and utility vehicles do not fall under the same operational protocols and safety standards that apply to fire and emergency response vehicles. These vehicles serve different purposes and do not engage in emergency response operations, which is why the SOGs from PBCFR are tailored primarily for fire apparatus and emergency response vehicles, ensuring that personnel are adequately trained to handle the specific demands and circumstances encountered when responding to incidents.
