Study Notes

Fire Attack Procedures

Standard operating procedure emphasizes aggressive fire attack to stabilize fire conditions.
Initial attack should aim to overwhelm fire with effective water application and suppression efforts.
Firefighters must choose the most advantageous positions for attack, which can be interior, exterior, or transitional.
Transitional attacks are appropriate when fire conditions require changing from the exterior before entering a structure.

Water Application and Fire Control

Adequate water volume, measured in gallons per minute (gpm), is crucial for combating fire conditions.
Consideration of heat release rate and size of structure/compartment is essential for effective fire control.
Objective of water application includes controlling the fire, ensuring victim and property protection, and preventing fire extension to adjacent structures.
