Company officers should use these three categories to determine their course of action for each incident. These incident priorities are always considered in this order.
1 Life safety
2 ______
3 Property/Environmental conservation

Victim smoke time
Victim survivability profiling
The upper human survivability limit is
110
212
250
315

3 is it reasonable to assume they are still alive
This approach may contradict the traditional view of racing into a burning building, but the use of_____ can be paramount to saving lives of responders
