What is the role of ComEd personnel at a fire scene?

The role of ComEd personnel at a fire scene primarily involves providing expertise regarding electrical hazards. When a fire occurs, there is often a significant risk associated with electrical systems that may have been compromised due to the fire. ComEd personnel are trained to identify these hazards, assess the situation, and take necessary actions to ensure safety for both fire service personnel and the public.

Their expertise can include isolating electrical sources, determining the status of power lines and substations, and safeguarding against electrocution or other electrical-related injuries. This critical support helps fire crews operate safely and effectively while managing the fire and protecting lives and property.

In contrast, other options may imply roles that fall outside of the primary responsibilities of utility personnel in such emergency scenarios. For instance, advising on evacuation routes or managing traffic is generally the responsibility of first responders and police officers, and assisting in rescue operations typically involves trained fire and rescue personnel rather than utility workers.
