What should you do before clearing from a 900 code assignment?

• A. Clock out immediately without notifying anyone
• B. Leave the area to clear the scene
• C. File a separate report after shift
• D. Confirm with dispatch, clock out or status update, and ensure area safety is reported

Answer: (D)

Coordinating a proper clearance means you confirm your status with dispatch, clock out or update your status, and report on area safety before leaving a 900 code assignment. This ensures the incident is accurately reflected in the system, you’re accounted for, and any hazards or ongoing concerns in the area are communicated to the next responders or supervisors. Skipping this step or acting without update can create accountability gaps and potential safety risks.
