Control measure knowledge

Strategic actions

Fire and rescue services should:

Consider providing equipment appropriate for removing the cause of entanglement

Tactical actions

Incident commanders should:

Consider the best course of action; manipulate the animal away from the cause of entanglement or remove the cause of entanglement
Assess the available equipment for its suitability prior to use
Ensure equipment is used effectively and safely
Ensure personnel do not become entangled
