What should be on the information board at each station during the winter months according to SOG 9.010?

During the winter months, having the status of the bodies of water displayed on the information board at each station is crucial for safety and operational preparedness. This status provides essential information about ice conditions, water levels, and any potential hazards that may have developed due to changing weather. Knowledge of these conditions is vital for ensuring that rescue personnel can effectively assess risks and make informed decisions regarding safety during operations near or on the water. Proper awareness allows for timely interventions and keeps responders safe, especially when ice and cold water present unique challenges.

While the other options—rescue training schedules, equipment maintenance logs, and firefighter duty rosters—are important for various operational functions, they do not directly address the immediate safety concerns tied to winter conditions on the water. Thus, focusing on the status of the bodies of water helps prioritize the safety of both the rescue teams and any individuals in need of rescue during potentially hazardous winter conditions.
