    Study Notes

    Life Rescue Mode

    • Declared by a fire fighter when they are entering a hazard area with fewer than three firefighters on scene to perform a rescue or search and rescue.
    • This exemption allows the two-in/two-out rule to be ignored because the situation requires immediate action.
    • The risk associated with entering a hazardous area is determined by the potential life-safety problem.
    • The decision to use "Life Rescue" mode is guided by the principle: "We will risk a lot to save a lot. We will risk a little to save a little. We will risk nothing to save nothing."

    Announcing "Life Rescue" Mode

    • Indicates a civilian life-safety problem exists.
    • There is a reasonable probability of the individual(s) being viable.
    • Fewer than four firefighters are on scene.
    • The two-in/two-out exemption is being exercised, meaning there are at least three firefighters on scene.
    • The firefighter is performing a rescue or search and rescue.

    Standby Fire Fighter

    • During the "initial stage" of a structure fire, at least one additional firefighter must be assigned to standby outside the hazardous area where the team is operating.
    • This standby firefighter can be the pump operator, but only if they are in close proximity to the incident.
    • The standby firefighter must be in full protective clothing with SCBA donned, and maintain constant communication with the entry team.
    • The standby firefighter can perform other duties outside the hazardous area as long as communication is maintained and their availability for Rapid Rescue is not hindered.

    Life Rescue Mode

    • Declared by firefighters when entering a hazardous area for rescue or search and rescue operations with fewer than three firefighters present.

    • Risk Management

      • "We will risk a lot to save a lot. We will risk a little to save a little. We will risk nothing to save nothing." (This statement reflects the importance of prioritizing life safety while assessing risk levels)

    • Procedure

      • Announcing "Life Rescue" mode indicates:
        • A civilian life-safety issue is present.
        • The possibility of a viable rescue.
        • Fewer than four firefighters on scene.
        • The two-in/two-out exemption is being utilized due to fewer than four firefighters on scene but at least three.
        • Rescue or search and rescue activities will be conducted.

    Standby Firefighter

    • In the initial stage of a structure fire where only one team is operating, a designated standby firefighter must be present outside the hazardous area.

    • The standby firefighter can be the pump operator, provided they are near the incident.

    • The standby firefighter's primary responsibility is to monitor the status of firefighters within the hazardous area.

    • The standby firefighter must maintain constant communication with the entry team, be fully equipped with SCBA donned, and be ready for rapid rescue.

    • The standby firefighter can perform other duties outside the hazardous area, but communication and availability for rapid rescue must be maintained.

    Life Rescue Mode

    • "Life Rescue" mode indicates the use of the two-in/two-out exemption, entering a hazard area with fewer than three firefighters for rescue or search and rescue.
    • This exemption applies when there are at least three firefighters on scene.
    • The decision to use Life Rescue mode is based on the presence of a civilian life-safety problem, determined probability of viability, and fewer than four personnel on scene.

    Stand-by Firefighter

    • During the initial stage of a structure fire, one firefighter is assigned to standby outside the hazardous area where the team is operating.
    • The standby firefighter can be the pump operator if they are in close proximity to the incident.
    • The standby firefighter is responsible for maintaining awareness of the status of firefighters in the hazardous area, maintaining constant communication, and being available for Rapid Rescue.
    • The standby firefighter can perform other duties outside the hazardous area, provided constant communication is maintained and their availability for Rapid Rescue is not hindered.
