> Flow Path rules:

A
    • Restrict air into fire area to delay flashover
    • Moving from Ventilation-Limited to Fuel Limited, apply water then vertically vent.
    • Soften with 30 -90 sec of water, improves conditions

> Lloyd Layman’s 5 step Size-up Process: Plan of Operation:

A

This is the “Action Plan” step

17
Q

Ch 17 p 346

> NFAs 3 Phase Size-up process:

A
  1. Preincident Info
  2. Initial Size-up
  3. Ongoing Size-up
18
Q

Ch 17 p 347

> NFA Size-up Phase 1:

A

Phase 1: Preincident Info is the Building info, occupancy, water supply etc..

19
Q

Ch 17 p 347

> NFA Size-up Phase 2:

A

Phase 2: Initial Size-up
What do I have?
Where is it going?
How do I control it?

20
Q

Ch 17 p 347

> NFA Size-up Phase 3:

A

Phase 3: Ongoing Size-up is an ongoing analysis of the situation

21
Q

Ch 17 p 347

> Risk Benefit Analysis:

A

Select appropriate strategic mode - Offensive, defensive or transitional.

22
Q

Ch 17 p 348

> Transitional Mode Change:

A

From offensive to defensive IC calls “Emergency Traffic” and dispatch sounds tones. Crews may have to do a quick search. Defensively conditions could improve then FFs can go to interior mode.

23
Q

Ch 17 p 348

> Develop Incident Action Plan (IAP) - Incident Priorities:

A
  1. Life Safety
  2. Incident Stabilization
  3. Property Conservation
    (4. Evidence Preservation - in our SOG)
24
Q

Ch 17 p 349

> Develop Incident Action Plan (IAP) - Strategies/Tactical Priorities (5 in priority order, then 2 more):

                RECEO - VS
A

Strategy or Tactical Priorities: RECEOVS
Rescue: Primary/Secondary search
Exposure:….. is 30ft from fire
Confinement: stop fire from spreading, RIC.
Extinguish:……… control fire
Overhaul: Pre/Post fire phase
Vent:………………. systematic way to remove gas/heat
Salvage: tactical way to prevent further damage

25
Q

Ch 17 p 350

> Scene Safety: Name the hazard zones (Hot etc..)

A 
Hot Zone (Exclusion Zone):   Full gear, limited people, hazardous
Warm Zone (Containment Reduction Zone):  Moderate hazard, some protective gear
Cold Zone (Support Zone):  Minimum hazard, no restrictions on # of people
26
Q

Ch 17 p 350

NFPA 1407 - RIC or RIT has 4 people.

IRIC has 2 FF from the initial attack crew
