C: Upon completion of clearing the window and before entering, reassess the smoke and heat conditions to determine if the area is tenable. If conditions now prevent access, immediately notify the Ladder Company Officer of this situation.

D: After venting and entering, the priority action for the member is to conduct an immediate search of the area for victims.

Answer 31

D
Explanation:
After venting and entering, the priority action for the member is to ISOLATE the area by closing a door BEFORE conducting the search (VEIS). By isolating the area the conditions in the room should improve as the closed door will stop the flow of fire conditions and the window will provide an exhaust vent allowing a safer and more effective search.
A Note: Members should also consider other factors, such as wind conditions, potential for auto-exposure and if there is a life hazard above your position.
C Note: If conditions are tenable, the member should reach in and probe the immediate area for potential victims.
