Who does the lobby control officer report to in ICS high rise fires?

In an Incident Command System (ICS) structure, particularly during high-rise fire operations, the lobby control officer plays a crucial role in managing and coordinating activities at the building's lobby, ensuring a secure and organized response. This position is typically aligned under the logistics section.

The logistics section chief has the responsibility to ensure that the necessary resources are available and appropriately allocated, including the management of personnel, equipment, and supplies. The lobby control officer’s duties include maintaining accountability for personnel entering and exiting the building, managing the flow of resources, and coordinating communication between the incident commander and teams working at various floors within the high-rise. Since the lobby acts as a critical operational hub for resources and personnel transport, reporting to the logistics section chief enhances efficient logistical support and resource management essential for effective incident response in high-rise situations.
