Answer 8

If the stairway is not an IDLH and safety permits the roof firefighter may be ordered to take the interior stairs to the roof provided that the fire apartment door is controlled and maintained closed by the ladder officer
If the stairway is an IDLH, the roof firefighter must team up with another member before ascending to the roof
In both cases the fire apartment door must be maintained closed until the Roof firefighter has communicated to their officer that they are on the roof and the bulkhead door is closed.
