Primary searches are based on what areas first?
most severely threatened
largest number of people
remained of fire area
exposed areas.
What term is used if the primary search yields no occupants found?
All clear.
Secondary search should be completed when?
after initial fire control, ventilation, and interior visibility have improved.
during overhaul.
What defines an exposure?

location
# of victims
egress
completed search or not.
What is one of the factors in prioritizing exposures?
amt of radiant heat being produced and distributed.

contained to room of origin- 1”3/4 100gpm
outside room of origin - 2” 1/2 200gpm
defensive attacks - 2” 1/2” 200gpm
Overhaul is defined by what parameters?
total extinguishment of all fires
checking for hidden fires or extension
made up of 2 phases.
What are the 2 phases of overhaul?
pre-fire control phase- aggressively pulling ceiling to confine primary fire.
Post control phase- reduce the incidence of secondary fires.
Why is ventilation used?
to reduce, re-direct, remove heat / smoke/ and fire gases.
What is the definition of salvage?
tactical operations of protecting property from further damage.
What is the difference between STRATEGY and TACTICS?
Strategy is a broad goal
Tactics involve details of actions

Who requests progress reports?
IC or Ops section chief.
What are the 3 modes of operation:
Offensive
Defensive
Investigating.
When are offensive operations indicated?
considered for room and content fires where SAVABLE lives may exist and structural integrity is intact.
What is defined or when is “investigating” mode applicable?
When the incident nature is unclear or no visible indicators are present.
What is the most dangerous time in an incident?
During the transition of an operation mode is in place.
The personnel accountability system falls under who if activated?
Planning sections chief and assigned to resource status unit.
What is level 1 accountability?
Immediately reporting for duty.
When is level 3 accountability activated?
hazmat incidents
hi-rise fires
below grade rescue operations
large or complex incidents where SCBA are being used.
Who is assigned to track personnel in a hazardous environment?
Site access control leader on the accountability board.
When does level 1 staging occur?
automatically during the initial stages of an incident.
When does level 2 staging become activated?
By the IC or operations.
requires a staging area manager.

By function or location.
What is the major risk factor on a CBRNE incident?
Secondary contamination.
What is best way to determine the operating perimeter initially?
Over-estimate the size.
What types of incidents require an inner perimeter?
suspicious areas Chemical biological contaminated 2ndary devices radiological.
What is the decision making for isolation based on?
