    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.

    • 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.
