AT AN OLT DUMBWAITER FIRE WHEN SHOULD THE ROOF MAN VENT THE DUMBWAITER SHAFT?

LADDERS 3
- 3.4 If heavy smoke is venting out of a dumbwaiter bulkhead, the roof firefighter should inform his/her officer.
- 3.5 If fire is reported in the dumbwaiter shaft, the roof firefighter should vent the dumbwaiter bulkhead.
- 3.6 Similarly if after venting a dumbwaiter bulkhead, the roof firefighter does not see any appreciable volume of smoke venting, the roof firefighter should notify his/her officer. This may indicate there is an obstruction in the shaft below.
- 3.7 If dumbwaiter bulkhead has been previously removed and tarred over, the roof firefighter should notify his/her officer. This could result in rapid extension to the cockloft.
- 3.8 Members should not place any part of their body in the shaft.
AT AN OLT FIRE IF A ROOF MAN IS ACCESSING A BUILDING FROM AN ADJOINING BUILDING & NEEDS TO STEP OVER A PARAPET WALL, HOW DOES THE ROOF MAN CHECK THE STABILITY/ADJOINING SURFACE?
•USE A TOOL TO FEEL THE ADJOINING SURFACE WITHOUT STEPPING OVER THE PARAPET WALL
5.2.3 Before walking or moving on a roof when visibility is poor, or a heavy smoke condition exists, firefighters should crouch to a kneeling position. Members should probe the roof surface by either swinging a tool or leg in the direction of movement. This is done to note the stability of the roof surface and to determine the presence of holes, shafts and other unobstructed openings. Members operating on the roof should not step over a parapet or wall without first feeling the adjoining surface with a tool. When momentarily blinded by smoke or darkness, and there is no immediate danger to the firefighter, it may be best for the member to remain in place until visibility is restored.
AT AN OLT FIRE, WHAT ARE THE 3 REASONS THE 2ND DUE TRUCK WOULD CALL FOR A LINE ON THE FLOOR ABOVE?
- HOGH TEMPS AT CEILING LEVEL
- CRACKLING SOUND HEARD W/I THE APT.
- FIERY GLOW SEEN THROUGH THE SMOKE
7.3.1 A smoke condition at the apartment entrance is not enough reason to believe that fire has extended to this floor. However, high temperatures even only at the ceiling level or a crackling sound heard within the apartment or a fiery glow seen through the smoke are all indications of fire extension and justify calling for a hand line.
