If your officer and chauffeur do not respond, which individual should you contact over the H/T?

When faced with a situation where neither your officer nor chauffeur is responding, the next person to contact over the H/T should be the incident commander. The incident commander is responsible for overseeing the entire operation at the scene and making critical decisions to ensure safety and effective response. By reaching out to the incident commander, you can report your situation, seek guidance, or receive orders, which is essential for maintaining situational awareness and reinforcing the chain of command during the incident.

The other roles listed, while important within the context of fire operations, do not hold the same level of authority in managing the overall incident response. The safety officer focuses on ensuring safety protocols are followed, the dispatch officer handles communications and resource allocation from the station, and the engine operator typically manages the apparatus and its functions. Therefore, the incident commander is the most appropriate point of contact in this scenario for coordinating actions and receiving necessary instructions.
