If ignition occurs before arrival of the first Fire Department unit, the duties required by the UAAC and Instruction Card must still be performed, and additional alarms transmitted immediately. Isolation of the pipeline by closing manually operated valves is still of primary importance to reduce the amount of fuel released.

In HRFPMDs, cellars may contain compactor rooms, storage areas, meeting rooms, sprinkler protected motor vehicle garages, laundry rooms and utility meter rooms. Each of the following choices contains correct information regarding cellars of these buildings except?
A: These areas may also contain HVAC equipment with its associated duct work. The entire run of ducts should be checked to their termination points. The duct work venting dryers from laundry rooms should be checked to their termination point as well.
B: All cellar fires in HRFPMDs shall be controlled using a hand stretch into below grade areas. In no case shall members connect to a standpipe to stretch into below grade areas.
C: Motor vehicle fires in these cellars can create an extremely heavy smoke condition, which can delay locating the vehicle, even though the sprinkler system may be discharging water. A search line should be used in these situations and a limited number of personnel should be used.
D: Access to below grade areas may be via the interior, enclosed, fireproof stairways or outside ramps and driveways.
B: All cellar fires in HRFPMDs shall be controlled using a hand stretch into below grade areas. In no case shall members connect to a standpipe to stretch into below grade areas.
Consider a hand stretch into below grade areas. When the fire is controlled by the sprinkler system and connecting to a standpipe outlet would not expose our members to an IDLH, an Engine officer can, with sound judgment, use the standpipe and notify the IC.
