Victim Survivability Profile: Should be assessed before search and rescue operations to prioritize life safety.
Transitional Attack:
- Method to quickly reduce interior heat and cool the environment for occupants and firefighters
- Consider if needed before interior operations to mitigate rollover and flashover
- Use of handline:
  - Solid stream from smooth bore nozzle or straight stream from fog nozzle aimed at the upper portion of the room through the fire opening. Avoid whipping actions or fog streams. Ensure the stream does not interfere with exhaust above the neutral plane.
- Use of Master Stream: Ensure a majority of the fire is knocked down before entering for complete extinguishment.
Extinguishing the Fire:
- Extinguish the fire in the most direct way after reducing heat threat.
- Consider multiple attack lines for large single-story buildings or multiple-story structures to prevent heat return
- Assign backup lines for crew egress, search, and rescue.
- Coordinate ventilation with suppression activities.
Ventilation Profile:
- Requires assessment of heat, smoke, and air movement flow paths within the structure.
- Manage and control openings to limit oxygen flow to the fire.

- Request structure evacuation and dispatcher alert to all units using a radio alert tone.
- Complete personnel accountability reports (PAR) after evacuation.
Strategic Shift (Change in Strategy) Offensive Mode:
- Return to offensive operations when conditions allow and inform the dispatcher of the strategy change.
Utility Control:
- Utilize a designated person to shut down utility systems (e.g., gas, electricity) if safe to do so. Ensure proper lockout/tagout procedures.
- If unable to shut down utilities, warn responding and operating crews.
Fire Ground Emergency:
- The IC is responsible for directing actions when a firefighter emergency occurs:
  - Activate an emergency alert tone and announce the location and type of emergency.
  - Direct the nearest company to respond.
Resource Management:
- Remain aware of resource levels, and if additional resources are needed, immediately request them.
Post-Incident:
- Complete necessary reports and documentation after the fire.
- Reassess the incident for lessons learned.
- Maintain accountability and ensure that all equipment and resources assigned to the incident are accounted for.
