“Ventilation for Extinguishment” in a nonfireproof multiple dwelling (tenement) facilitates the Engine Company’s extinguishment of the fire. However, this tactic requires strict timing and coordination. Of the following choices, which is not in accordance with Department policy?
A: This tactic must coincide with the application of water on the seat of the fire. Once a building is horizontally ventilated the time for effective extinguishment is limited since the fire will rapidly expand.
B: The member on the exterior may be in position prior to the hoseline placement and must coordinate their actions to prevent premature ventilation.
C: The member on the exterior waiting to perform horizontal ventilation for extinguishment of the immediate fire area shall listen for transmissions from the Engine Company Officer to the Engine Chauffeur to start water or to the Incident Commander that they are applying water on the fire. These transmissions are an indication to the exterior member to prepare to conduct ventilation for extinguishment.
D: Before venting the window(s) the member must communicate with and receive approval from the Engine Company Officer. The approval to perform this horizontal ventilation for extinguishment tactic only applies to the window(s) in the immediate area and only for the member venting the immediate fire area.

D) Before venting the window(s) the member must communicate with and receive approval from the LADDER Company Officer. The approval to perform this horizontal ventilation for extinguishment tactic only applies to the window(s) in the immediate area and only for the member venting the immediate fire area.
D Note: Any additional horizontal ventilation tactics must be communicated with and coordinated by the Ladder Company Officer in the area prior to performing such ventilation. This communication and coordination with interior operations will lessen the likelihood of any negative impact on interior fire conditions.
A Note: This ventilation tactic entails venting the window(s) of the immediate fire area as the Engine Company is extinguishing the fire.
B Note: Premature ventilation can precipitate fire extension, endangering occupants and firefighters. To properly coordinate ventilation for extinguishment between the interior and exterior operating force, all members must monitor handie-talkie transmissions to ensure proper communications prior to performing ventilation.
