  5. Monitor any incident and assist with requests from emergency services, via the dedicated radio net, to provide appropriate back up or additional services if required.

  6. Ensure the course is clear of emergency vehicles after any call for their services before issuing an instruction to the appropriate stop point to re-start a held team on the course.
