A

First knocks down a body of fire from the exterior before transitioning to the interior to complete extinguishment.

  • search crews are not permitted in the structure till the full transition to an offensive mode is made.
  • Coordinated ventilation is essential to reduce the high potential for flashover, smoke explosion, or backdraft.
