Who is responsible for the daily rig check of the 10-50 vehicle?

The responsibility for the daily rig check of the 10-50 vehicle typically falls to the firefighters on duty. Firefighters are trained to ensure all equipment is operational and safe for use, which includes conducting these daily checks. This procedure is vital in maintaining the readiness and reliability of emergency vehicles, allowing firefighters to respond effectively in critical situations.

While the fire chief oversees operations, and maintenance personnel are involved in repairs and services, the immediate responsibility for the daily checks lies with the personnel who are directly using the vehicle. The arson investigator does not have a direct role in this aspect of vehicle maintenance. Conducting daily rig checks is part of the routine duties and helps ensure that equipment reliability is at its highest when responding to emergencies.
