Q

Incident Priorities TFD first responders to hazardous materials incidents shall act in accordance with these priorities:

A

Life Safety, Protection of the essential environment, Protection and Salvage of Property

  • **Life Safety
    1. The primary objective in any hazardous materials response is to protect human life and prevent harm or risk to human life, including the lives of TFD personnel and other responders.
    2. The main goal of the first responder is to control and manage the general public and other responders in order to meet this objective.
  • ***Protection of the Essential Environment
    1. The secondary objective in a hazardous materials response is to protect the essential environment.
    2. Many hazardous materials are no immediate threat to humans, but are very damaging to the environment.
    a. For example, it may be appropriate at times to sacrifice a structure in order to protect a ground water system
  • **Protection and Salvage of Property
    1. The third objective is to protect private and public property, but only when it does not place lives or the environment at risk.

Q

What is NFPA 704?

A 
NFPA 704 is a standard maintained by the U.S.-based National Fire Protection Association. It defines the colloquial "fire diamond" used by emergency personnel to quickly and easily identify the risks posed by nearby hazardous materials. This is necessary to help determine what, if any, special equipment should be used, procedures followed, or precautions taken during the first moments of an emergency response.
Blue- Health
Red- Flammability
Yellow- Instability/Reactivity
