Structure Operations (EOM 301, 302, 303.01, 305, 308) Flashcards
**3 Basic Tactical Priorities
EOM 301–Tactical Priorities/General
–Rescue
–Fire Control
–Property Conservation
**RESCUE Defined and Benchmarks
EOM 301–Tactical Priorities/General
–The activities required to protect or remove endangered occupants whose safety is threatened and to treat the injured
–Primary all clear
–Secondary all clear
**Primary “All Clear”
EOM 301–Tactical Priorities/General
The building has been searched QUICKLY by the initial attack company(s) and no victims were found.
**Secondary “All Clear”
EOM 301–Tactical Priorities/General
The building has been searched THOROUGHLY after a primary
search and preferably not by the Primary Search Company
**FIRE CONTROL Defined and Benchmarks
EOM 301–Tactical Priorities/General
–The activities required to stop the forward progress of the fire and to bring the fire under control
–Fire Contained
–Fire Under Control
**“Fire Contained” Defined
EOM 301–Tactical Priorities/General
The fire’s forward progress has been stopped, however the fire is still active and overhaul is needed
**“Fire Under Control” Defined
EOM 301–Tactical Priorities/General
The fire is contained, overhauled, and completely mitigated
**PROPERTY CONSERVATION Defined and Benchmark
EOM 301–Tactical Priorities/General
–The activities required in stopping or reducing additional loss to property
–Loss Stopped
**“Loss Stopped” Defined
EOM 301–Tactical Priorities/General
–All property loss or threat has been mitigated. This includes water damage, fire damage, chemical damage etc. This benchmark is associated with the completion of salvage and overhaul.
With “Smoke Showing” what are the tactical priorities?
EOM 302–Tactical Priorities/Rescue
In a “SMOKE SHOWING” situation and working fire situations, fire control efforts must be initiated simultaneously with rescue operations in order to complete a primary search
What Factors The IC considers when developing a Rescue size-up
EOM 302–Tactical Priorities/Rescue
— Number, location, and condition of victims.
— Affect the fire has on the victims.
— Capability of the control forces to enter the building and to remove or protect the victims
and control the fire
**Rescue efforts should be conducted in what order?
EOM 302–Tactical Priorities/Rescue
** Most severely threatened
** The largest number of occupants
Victims in the remaining fire area
People in other exposed areas
Placement of hose lines for Rescue
EOM 302–Tactical Priorities/Rescue
–All initial attack efforts must be directed toward supporting rescue efforts and fire control.
–Hose lines must be placed in a manner to protect interior access, confine the fire, and protect avenues of escape
What an IC must analyze in an Offensive Attack
EOM 303.01–Offensive Fire Control
–most effective tactical analysis involves an evaluation of what is not burning rather than what is actually on fire
–unburned portion represents where the fire is going
Where should Offensive Fires be fought from?
EOM 303.01–Offensive Fire Control
Offensive fires should be fought from the interior, unburned side of the structure
**What are the **7 sides of a Structure?
EOM 303.01–Offensive Fire Control
–front, back, two sides, roof, bottom, and interior
What 5 things should be considered in the tactical effectiveness of hose lines
EOM 305–Fire Stream Management
⎯ Size
⎯ Placement
⎯ Speed
⎯ Mobility
⎯ Supply
What should hose lines protect when placed inside a structure?
EOM 305–Fire Stream Management
halls, stairways, or other vertical and horizontal channels and where life safety may be
**5 basic hose line placement procedures in order
EOM 305–Fire Stream Management
**–between the fire and life safety
**–between the fire and the most
severe exposure
–back up to the primary line by on deck crews.
–critical areas such as means of egress
–assist in rescue activities, support confinement, protect exposures
Hoselines and Ventilation holes
EOM 305–Fire Stream Management
Fire streams are never to be operated down ventilation holes during offensive fire operations
Hoselines and below ground fire attack
EOM 305–Fire Stream Management
–nozzles should not be opened until the fire has been located
–Fog streams are not to be used in a direct attack when operating at a confined below ground fire
Interior and Exterior attacks simultaneously
EOM 305–Fire Stream Management
–The combining of interior and
exterior fire attacks in the same building is not an acceptable fire attack option.
–DO NOT OPERATE FIRE STREAMS INTO SMOKE
IC should order additional resources when?
EOM 308–Additional Resources
–life hazard exceeds the rescue capabilities
–number, location, and condition of actual victims exceed the capabilities of initial alarm companies
–Fire conditions become more severe or the situation deteriorates significantly
–All companies have been committed and the fire is not controlled (20 Minutes?)
–Forces are depleted due to exhaustion, injury, or are trapped or missing
–runs out of a specific resource - personnel, apparatus, water, equipment, command staff
–evidence of fire, but unable to determine location.
–commitment of companies is not effective
–cannot effectively perform salvage operations
–situation becomes so complex or widespread that it cannot effectively manage the incident
