apparatus positioning
What is a document developed by gathering general and detailed data used by responding personal to determine the resources and actions necessary to mitigate anticipated emergencies at the specific facilities
Pre-incident plan NFPA 1620
What is the ultimate goal of a pre-incident plan?
Know the problems involved in every potential fire building in a companies response area
Following factors to be considered when assessing the potential situation that could affect a facility during emergency conditions:
Construction ‘’ / ‘’
‘’ to the building
Occupies ‘’’
‘’ systems
Capabilities of responding ‘’ and ‘’
Availability of a’’
‘’ supply
‘’ factors
Construction type / classification
Access to the building
Occupies characteristics( life, safety considerations)
Protection systems
Capabilities of responding personnel and equipment
Availability of a mutual aid
Water supply
Exposure factors
When developing criteria for ‘’’’, strong consideration should be given to items such as:
Potential life hazards
Structural size and complexity
Location
Important to the community
Presence of chemicals
susceptibility to natural disasters
pre incident plans
Proper positioning of a ‘’ at a fire depends on several factors:
Physical characteristics of the structure
Location of the structure
Width of the street
Dead ends
Setbacks
Overhead electrical wires
Water supply
Normal alarm response roots
Size and location of the fire
Topography
Need for Aerial fire apparatus p. 194
pumper
Engine companies should not be allowed to
Freelance
In most cases, the first arriving pumper should pull ‘’ the fire. This accomplishes two objectives, which are.
Past
1. Eli’s to see three sides of the building for size up
2. Leaves room for the ladder truck.
The word’’ means the assignment of companies to a particular side of a fire building or the fire ground for size up with the objective of a pushing any or all the objectives of a firefighting operation
Coverage
The first step and most basic step in coverage is
Positioning apparatus
Every officer should always maintain’’ awareness

QIAP stands for
Quick initial action plan p. 197
2 effective way to get eyes on the back is to
send a firefighter through and involved adjacent building to get to the C side
Send a crew member to the roof if it is safe or to the roof of another building p. 198
What is the best entrance for access to the fire alarm panel, the elevator, interior halls, stairways in a multi story building
The front entrance
FDC are usually near ‘’ , if not …
The front entrance, if not they are in the rear alley or next to a stairway exit door
Some older buildings construction between 1919 50 the standpipe is
Adjacent To the exterior fire escape
What engine should take the C side
Second due engine or third p. 199
What buildings make it unpractical for initial commands to perform a 360° walk around size of
Attached buildings p. 201
Engine companies at the rear of a build can also support
rooftop operations with protective hose lines p. 202
Hoses on the bottom become buried by the weight of other charge lines and the freshen created between the jackets make it extremely difficult for the hoses to slide over each other. This is called.
Hose layering
What is one of the most underutilized tool on the fire ground?
Engine companies, ground ladders
What is the best ladder for a single-family family residence fire ‘’ FT
20 foot to 26 foot ladders NOT
In terms of rescue and firefighting operations, complete’’’ provides the following benefits:
IC has eyes on all four sides
Location of fire is determined
The full extended the fire and where it’s headed is known
Safety hazards and rescue situations can be identified
Severe exposure problems can be discovered and protected
All the ff can work together
FF are already in place on all sides of the building to assist a rapid and intervention p. 203
COVERAGE
If there is no hydrant within 100 feet of the entrance, then lay a’’
Split lay
