Property conservation is a key priority for TFD alongside life safety and fire control. Efforts are made to minimize property loss through proactive and aggressive actions.

Water damage can be minimized by ceasing fire streams once the fire is under control.

Recognition of when fire progress stops is crucial for effective loss control, minimizing further damage.

Personnel assigned to rescue or fire control should be assessed for fatigue before being reassigned to loss control duties.

Early salvage operations play a critical role in minimizing loss during incidents. They help protect property from further damage.

Simultaneous fire attack and loss control may require additional resources for effective execution. It's a team effort.

Loss control activities are integrated into the cause and determination phases of an incident to collect evidence and understand the origin of the fire.

Non-essential companies should withdraw from the incident scene once fire control is achieved to allow investigations to proceed without interference.

Scene control helps preserve evidence for investigations, ensuring a thorough understanding of the incident.

The Customer Service Group engages with occupants or owners to address immediate needs post-incident, offering support and guidance.

Ventilation, utility control, and scene lighting are support activities that enhance fire control and rescue operations.

Structures should be vented prior to firefighter entry whenever feasible to improve safety and effectiveness during interior attacks.

The Incident Commander (IC) is responsible for notifying utility companies and controlling utilities where feasible by TFD.

Adequate fireground lighting enhances safety, and it should be established early during incidents.

Traditionally, ladder companies manage ventilation, utility control, and lighting. However, roles can shift based on operational conditions.

Companies responsible for ventilation must also ensure lighting and utility control are executed. If unable, they should alert the IC.

Fire stream selection depends on fire size, location, strategy, and water supply. Multiple types of streams may be needed.

Quick fire control is crucial for offensive attacks. If the fire isn't controlled promptly, a shift to a defensive strategy may be required.

Master streams can serve both offensive and defensive roles. Effective application involves short bursts to gain initial control, followed by handline advances.

Combining exterior and interior fire stream operations is generally discouraged to avoid potential conflicts and hazards.

Solid bore nozzles are recommended for deploying master streams because they offer effective penetration and reach. Fog streams should be used cautiously in confined spaces to avoid steam hazards.

A 1 ¾” preconnect equipped with an SM-20F fog nozzle delivers approximately 100 gpm at 110 psi, sufficient for 600 to 1000 square feet of coverage.

SM-30F fog nozzles, primarily used on 3” handlines, can be adapted for 1 ¾” lines. This can increase flow by 25% when used on 1 ¾” lines.
