Which role controls the Entry Point to the Structure for Accountability check?

• A. Ignition Officer
• B. Entry Officer
• C. Rehab / Medical Officer
• D. Staging / Air Supply Officer

Answer: (B)

Maintaining accountability at the entry point means knowing exactly who is inside the structure at all times, where they are, and that no one enters without authorization. The Entry Officer is charged with this responsibility: they control the entry point, perform the initial and ongoing accountability checks, confirm each entrant’s identity and assignment, and keep the inside roster updated as crews advance or withdraw. If anyone is missing or unaccounted for, they coordinate with the IIC to pause entry and initiate a search. Other roles either prepare/ignite, monitor rehab, or manage staging and air supply, but they do not control accountability at the entry point.
