Do not disengage Firehawk Mask Mounted Regulator from facepiece.
14. Close Cylinder Valve; watch the Remote Gauge for 10 seconds.Note: Any drop in pressure indicates a leak.
15. Open the Bypass Control Knob slightly, watch the Remote Gauge and listen for activation of the Audi-Alarm Audible Bell and Redundant Low Air Alarm on the ICM 2000 to activate at approxi-mately 1100 psi. When residual air is completely bled from unit, fully close the Red Bypass Control Knob. Place facepiece in pouch.
16. Turn off the ICM 2000 Pass / Redundant Low Air Alarm by depressing the Yellow Button 2 times.17. Replace the rubber dust cover on the male fitting of the ICM Quick-Fill Fitting. Rotate dust cover to
take up any slack with connection strap.18. Don the unit checking for the reliability and operation of all straps. 19. Doff the unit, fully extending all straps.20. Check the Cylinder Air Pressure and change the cylinder if air pressure is at or below 4050 psi.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
Depending on the cleaning policy adopted, either a desig-nated person or the user should clean each device aftereach use. ANSI standards suggest that users should betrained in the cleaning procedure. Confidence PlusCleaning Solution (P/N 10009971) from MSA is recom-mended. It cleans and disinfects in one operation. Itretains its germicidal efficiency in hard water to inhibit thegrowth of bacteria. It will not deteriorate rubber, plastic,glass, or metal parts. Refer to label for user instructions.
DO NOT use any cleaning substances that can ormight attack any part of the apparatus.
Alcohol should not be used as a germicide because itmay deteriorate rubber parts.
If not rinsed thoroughly, cleaning agent residue mayirritate the wearer’s skin.
1. Preparing Solutiona. Follow the instructions with the Confidence Plus
Cleaning Solution.b. If the Confidence Plus Cleaning Solution is not
used, wash in a mild cleaning solution, rinse thor-oughly, and submerge in a germicide solution forthe manufacturer’s recommended time.
2. Clean and Disinfect the Facepiecea. Remove the mask mounted regulator from the face-
piece.b. Unthread the thumb screw of NightFighter Heads-
Up Display System receiver and slide the receiverfrom facepiece bracket.
c. Thoroughly wash the facepiece (and nosecup) in thecleaning solution. A soft brush or sponge can beused to clean the soiled facepiece.
d. Rinse the facepiece and components in clean,warm (110°F) water (preferably running anddrained).
e. Clean the pressure-demand exhalation valve bypressing in on the stem with a blunt object andflushing with clean water.
f. Allow the facepiece to air dry. Do not dry the partsby placing them near a heater or in direct sunlight.The rubber will deteriorate.
g. Operate the exhalation valve by hand to be sure itworks properly.
Note: Do not force-dry the parts by placing them in aheater or in direct sunlight. The rubber will deteriorate.When the facepiece is thoroughly dry, store the facepiecein the plastic bag that it was shipped in.
3. In general, only the facepiece requires cleaning anddisinfecting after each use. If the apparatus is soiled(i.e. heavy smoke residue or dirt accumulation) use asponge damp with mild soap solution or use asoft/medium bristle brush to remove deposits thatmay interfere with normal operation of:a. Harness (straps and buckles)b. Cylinder carrier (band and latch assembly)c. Cylinder (handwheel, gauge, outlet connection)d. Audi-Larm Alarm with URC Assembly (bell or cou-
pling nut connection)e. NightFighter Heads-Up Display System/Pressure
Gauge/ICM Unit Gaugef. MMR remote gauge lensg. First stage regulatorh. MMR second stage regulator. Cover outlet of the
MMR second stage regulator to prevent water, dirt,or debris from entering.
4. Inspect the entire apparatus as you re-assemble it.Follow the Inspection Instructions.
5. Re-attach NightFighter Heads-Up Display SystemReceivera. Slide receiver onto facepiece bracket.b. Finger-tighten thumb screw.
6. Thoroughly dry the facepiece and regulator aftercleaning and disinfecting. The facepiece can trapwater, which could enter the regulator.

MABAS Division 201 GENARAL ALARM NOTIFICATION
APPROVED: November 14, 2013 EFFECTIVE: January 1, 2014
Purpose
The purpose of this Guideline is to establish a policy for notifying key personnel from MABAS Division 201 during significant events.
Scope
This policy pertains to the notification and dissemination of information through the MABAS Division 201 Dispatch Center.
Policy
It is the policy of MABAS Division 201 to provide text-page notification to key personnel (ie, Chief Fire Officers, On-Duty Shift Commanders, etc) during local significant events. The intent of this notification is to provide division-wide situational awareness of events that could cause an impact on the remaining elements within the response system. It is the responsibility of each participating unit within MABAS Division 201 to provide a limited list of key personnel for the General Alarm Notification List. This program is not designed to notify each and every member of a local organization. Notification Procedure: County Fire will send a Text Page Notification upon the receipt of the following events anywhere within the jurisdictions of MABAS Division 201:
2nd Alarm or higher Residential Fire 2nd Alarm or higher Commercial Fire EMS Plan 1 or higher activation TRT Level 1 of higher Any Active Shooter Incident Any other event designated as a Significant Incident
Again, the intent of this policy is to provide general awareness. In an effort to limit Dispatcher distraction, all notified personnel are strongly encouraged NOT to contact the MABAS 201 Dispatch Center for additional information. County Fire will conduct a test notification on the 1st of each month.
The Indiana Department of Homeland Security’s Office of EMS now has the
ability to send mass notifications to all currently certified/licensed EMS personnel.
If you hold an active EMS certification or license, you will begin receiving
periodic e-mail notifications regarding EMS updates, initiatives, and other
important information. Future communications will go to the e-mail address you
