What is recorded on Form 308?

Form 308 is utilized to maintain an accurate account of the items and equipment associated with the apparatus within a department. This form is essential for tracking all apparatus inventory, ensuring that all pieces of equipment are accounted for, properly maintained, and readily available for use. This helps in identifying what is on hand, what may need replacement, and what is still in service.

Monitoring the inventory helps in maintaining operational readiness and ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards. Each entry on Form 308 allows personnel to have a clear picture of the available resources and assists in routine inspections and inventory audits, which are critical for effective emergency response operations.
