After company officers carry out a PAR, what do they do next?

• A. Check the air status of all personnel within the company
• B. Report the results to the incident commander
• C. Send the passport to the command post
• D. Resume operations

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that once a PAR is complete, the next step is to communicate the results to the incident commander. This transfer of information lets the IC know the current personnel status—who is accounted for, where they are, and any critical details like air status or injuries—so they can make informed decisions about safety, resource needs, and whether operations should continue or pause. Air status is typically included as part of the PAR details, not a separate action after finishing the PAR. Options like sending a passport/identity to the command post or resuming operations without the IC’s direction don’t fit because the incident commander must have the latest accountability information before adjusting actions.
