A report signifying that companies working in the hazard zone are safe and accounted for is called

• A. The all clear signal.
• B. A personnel accountability report.
• C. The loss is stopped.
• D. A status report.

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is ensuring firefighter safety by confirming that every person assigned to the incident is safe and accounted for. This is done with a Personnel Accountability Report, a roll call that lists who is on scene, where each person is, and their current status (e.g., in, out, injured). The incident commander uses this report to quickly spot anyone who might be missing and to guide search and rescue or recovery actions if needed.

An all clear signal is about declaring that a specific area is free of danger and safe to re-enter, not about verifying every person’s status. A status report describes overall conditions or progress but doesn’t focus specifically on whether all personnel have been accounted for. The term about stopping a loss isn’t related to individual accountability at all.
