Study Notes
Initial Response
- Initial arriving apparatus responds to the dispatched location.
- Subsequent arriving apparatus responds to the same location or as directed by the TFS IC or pre-planning.
Establishing Command
- Initial arriving crew assumes Command as per Training Note 104.3.7.
- Crews remain on the assigned TAC Channel and do not switch to F/G 5/6.
Subway Station Access
- Initial crew entering a subway station (during business hours) accesses the Fire Safety Plan Box and reports to the Customer Service Booth.
- The BM Key aboard TFS apparatus can be used for access to the subway station (outside of business hours) and the Fire Safety Plan Box.
Investigation and Command
- The IC may operate in a Mobile Command mode until a situation requires a task level action.
- The IC becomes the Platform Sector Officer, operating in a Static Command mode, when fire or heavy smoke is encountered.
- The Platform Sector Officer upgrades to a 2nd alarm.
- The Platform Sector Officer duties include:
- Maintaining Static Command
- Advising Command of their location from the EAS door label
- Communicating with TTC Transit Control Centre via the PAX phone
- Designating a Staging area and a controlled area with an Entry Control person
- Notifying Command when additional resources or personnel are required
- Setting up air supply for their Sector
- Ensuring adequate resources are maintained in the Sector
- Coordinating personnel re-assignment through Command
- Controlling when personnel are assigned to Rehab Sector
- Conducting and reporting PAR status of their Sector when necessary
Incident Action Plan
- Tasks are taken as per the Incident Action Plan (IAP):
- Immediate rescue
- Locating and extinguishing fire
- Locating the train
- Counting the number of passengers
Water Supply
- The driver locates the Dry Drop/Dry Fire Line (DFL) FDC's via the "Dry Drop Booklet" found aboard TFS apparatus.
- The driver relocates the apparatus and connects to the appropriate Dry Drop/DFL FDC in relation to the fire location.
- A subsequent pump equipped apparatus is relocated and connected to the other Dry Drop/DFL FDC, located at grade level at the other end of the subway station.
- TFS crews always use a 65mm CSA threaded hydrant gate when connecting to ALL TTC FDC's.
- A water supply is established as soon as possible.
Special Considerations
- Davisville and Rosedale Subway Stations require a hose line to be stretched from the apparatus as they do not have a Dry Drop or DFL system.
- Stretching a hose line from the apparatus may be the most appropriate tactic if there is no Dry Drop/DFL at the station or in an outside track area, or if the Dry Drop/DFL has a catastrophic failure.
