Study Notes

Primary and Secondary Searches

The term "All Clear" signifies the completion of a primary search.
Command coordinates primary search assignments and obtains completion reports from interior companies.
Time of the "All Clear" report is recorded by Alarm.
Secondary searches occur after fire control and primary searches and must confirm "All Clear."
Different companies should ideally conduct secondary searches for thoroughness.

Rescue Operations During Fires

Command adapts rescue strategies based on the fire stage and residential fire conditions.
In minor fire situations, a rapid interior search is prioritized to report "All Clear."
Working fire conditions necessitate simultaneous fire control and rescue operations to effectively search for victims.
The success of primary searches may depend on effective fire knockdown or control.

Situational Awareness and Communication

Assessments of fully involved structures focus on adequate water flow for fire attack, with consideration for potential searches in exposed areas.
Clear communication and coordination between fire attack plans and search operations are crucial.
Command must determine areas that cannot be searched due to unsafe fire conditions or structural integrity.

Victim Protection Strategies

Protecting occupants in designated safe locations within the structure may be more beneficial than moving through hazardous areas.
Communication of safe location strategies is essential to the Sector Officer or Command.

Incident Command Responsibilities

The Incident Commander (IC) should support evacuation efforts and prioritize victim rescue actions using available resources.
Initial operations must conclude a primary search as a foundational step in rescue efforts.
The IC considers multiple factors, including:
- Number and condition of victims.
- Fire conditions impacting victim safety.
- Actions that enhance victim survivability.
- Accessibility of victims for rescue.

Rescue Prioritization

Rescue efforts are prioritized based on:
- Severely threatened individuals.
- Groups or the largest number of potential victims.
- Remaining fire areas.
- Exposed areas surrounding the fire.

Key Definitions

A primary search signifies comprehensive verification of occupant safety in affected areas.
Time efficiency is critical in executing successful primary searches, dependent on fire conditions and suppression actions.
