45
TRA
temporary refuse area, structures are not true safety zones preplanned area where firefighters can immediately take refuge for short term relief from an approaching fire without having use a fire shelter ex) lee side of structure, inside of structure, large lawn or parking area, or cab of apparatus
46
Structure Triage Categories
1. Not threatened 2. Threatened Defensible 3. Threatened Non-Defensible
47
Safety zone and TRA are present. Construction features or defensible space make it unlikely that the structure will ignite during initial fire front contact
Not threatened
48
Safety zone and TRA are present. Construction features, lack of defensible space, or other challenges require firefighters to implement structure defense tactics during fire front contact
Threatened Defensible
49
Either there is no safety zone or TRA present and/or the structure has challenges that do not allow firefighters to safely commit to stay and defend the structure during fire front contact
Threatened Non-Defensible
50
Structure Defense Tactical Actions
1. Check and go 2. Prep and go 3. prep and defend 4. bump and run 5. anchor and hold 6. fire front following 7. Tactical Patrol
51
Rapid evaluation to check for occupants to remove or rescue at a structure and determine whether or not a structure is defendable
Check and go
52
no safety zone/TRA are present and when fire spread and intensity are too dangerous to stay in the area when the fire front arrives and adequate time exists to prepare a structure for defense ahead of the fire front
prep and go
53
Safety zone and TRA present and adequate time exists to safely prepare a structure for defense prior to the arrival of the fire front
prep and defend
54
resources typically move ahead of the fire front in the spotting zone to extinguish spot fires and hot spots and to defend as many structures as possible

resources utilize control lines and large water streams in conjunction with fixed water supplies in an attempt to stop fire spread. The goal is to extinguish structure fires, protect exposures, and reduce ember production
anchor and hold

Stages resources are deployed after the passage of the fire front to engage in perimeter control, spot fire and hot spot control, or engage in structure fire control on partially involved structures
