200s 333-416 Flashcards
The strategic mode will be based on: •
- The rescue profile (savable occupants/survivability profile)
- -The building (type of construction, condition, age, etc)
- -Structural integrity of the building (contents vs. structural involvement)
- -The fire load (what type of fuel is burning and what’s left to burn)
- -The fire and/or smoke conditions (extent, location, etc
The two strategies are based on a standard Risk Management Plan that is to be employed at
ALL structure fires
Initial attack efforts must be directed toward supporting a primary search – the first attack line must go
between the victims and the fire to protect avenues of rescue and escape
Offensive fires should be fought from the
INTERIOR-UNBURNED SIDE
Fires cannot be considered under control until all ___ sides are addressed
7
THE ONLY REASON TO OPERATE IN MARGINAL SITUATIONS IS
RESCUE
Abandon MARGINAL attacks when
- -A primary “all clear”
- -The roof is unsafe or untenable.
- -cannot make any progress on the fire.
- -Heavy smoke is being forced from the building under pressure and is increasing
The basic variables relating to attack operations involve: •
- -Location/position of attack
- -Size of attack
- -Support functions
The first priority in defensive operations is
personnel safety,
then exposure protection
Fire “under control” means
the forward progress of the fire has been stopped and the remaining fire can be extinguished with the on-scene resources;
—it does not mean the fire is completely out
FIRE UNDER CONTROL, get PAR from who?
All on scene sectors and crews
If defensive operations are conducted from the onset of the incident, Command will notify Alarm that
there will not be a primary search completed for the affected structure(s)
The completion of the primary search is reported utilizing the standard radio reporting term
ALL CLEAR
Command must consider the following factors in developing a basic rescue size-up:
- Number, location and condition of victims
- Affect the fire has on the victims
- Capability of the control forces to enter the building, remove/protect victims and control fire
Order of Rescue
Rescue efforts should be extended in the following order:
- Most severely threatened
- The largest number (groups)
- The remainder of the fire area
- The exposed areas
Command shall respond to a “May Day” by…
implementing a rescue plan for the firefighter(s
National Fire Protection Association studies reveal that a majority of firefighters are killed while operating on the fireground at
residential fires
In the event of a mayday, The Deployment Captain/Supervisor (Phoenix FD) Alarm room supervisor (Mesa) will dedicate a (TRO) to the incident
Tactical Radio Operator
Minimum crew size is ____, and must have (3)
- radio
- an assignment
- a supervisor
When possible, the officer will include these 3 things in a mayday report
Who
Location
Actions
When does Command must declare which strategy is being used.
as part of the on-scene report
and at each notification of elapsed time
BASIC OFFENSIVE PLAN
Second line–
backup first/
cover opposite side/
escape routes
When laddering a roof, the ladder selected shall be one, which will extend a minimum of
4’-6’ above the roofline
When should crews establish at least two (2) separate escape routes/means where possible
When working above or below ground
The Hot Zone will be defined as
any area that requires an SCBA, charged hoseline, special protective clothing,
or in which Firefighting Personnel are at risk of becoming lost, trapped, or injured by the environment or structure
The Warm Zone will be defined as
just outside of the Hot Zone where the firefighters start their operations on the fireground
The safety of firefighting personnel represents a major reason for fireground
Sectorization
