Coordinate Ladder, Rescue , Squad withdrawal with coordination of ENGINES OPERATING HAND LINES...

The withdrawal of specific sectors may be delegated to a Sector Chief, (e.g. Roof Sector Supervisor, Exposure 2 Sector Supervisor, etc.). The IC will confirm the Sectors are transitioning to an exterior attack.

Contact the Roof Sector Supervisor to ensure members on the roof are in the process Of withdrawing.

If there is no Roof Sector Supervisor assigned, then the IC should make contact with other member(s) operating on the roof to ensure they are withdrawing

The IC may withdraw members briefly in order to quickly knock down fire utilizing an exterior stream to gain control of the fire and/or to protect life followed by a reinstatement of the interior attack. In these situations, the IC should determine if members can remain in the building in safe areas.

If members are left in the building, their location must be clearly identified and communicated via HT to the IC and/or Sector Supervisor before any exterior attack begins.
