For automatic alarms, when must the turnout coat be donned?

Before arriving on scene

After arriving on scene and prior to investigating the automatic alarm

When responding to automatic alarms, protect yourself as soon as you reach the scene by wearing the turnout coat, and do so before you start investigating. The coat provides essential protection for your torso and arms from heat, smoke, and other hazards you may encounter during the initial size-up and any entry or search that might be needed. Jumping into investigation without this protection increases risk, whereas donning it on arrival allows you to assess and respond safely. Wearing the coat before arriving is not practical, and waiting until after investigation defeats the purpose of early protection.
