What will Fire Administration do after being notified of a death?

The appropriate action for Fire Administration upon notification of a death within the department is to contact the employee’s family. This action demonstrates respect and compassion during a sensitive time and ensures that the family is informed and receives the necessary support.

Contacting the family is essential to provide them with information, resources, and any immediate assistance they may require following their loss. It also allows for direct communication regarding any official processes that may need to occur, such as funeral arrangements or benefits linked to the employee.

The other options, while they may seem considerate in certain contexts, do not align with the primary responsibilities and protocols typically followed by Fire Administration when handling the tragic event of a death. Engaging directly with the family is a more appropriate initial step in providing support and honoring the deceased employee’s memory.
