    Study Notes

    1. Thermal ratings vary for different components of protective clothing.
    2. Firefighters must understand the limitations of all parts of their PPE.
    3. Overhaul phase can lead to unnecessary injuries and long-term health effects.
    4. Removing SCBA during overhaul operations exposes firefighters to toxic and potentially carcinogenic off-gases.
    5. Burning contents found in structure fires produce toxins like arsenic, benzene, and formaldehyde.
    6. Dead air spaces within a building contain toxic by-products of combustion long after the building is aired out.
    7. The time between suppression and final overhaul is an ideal time to rotate personnel through rehabilitation.
    8. Rehabilitation can be divided into three phases: pre-incident hydration and preparation, incident rehabilitation, and post-incident recovery.
    9. Rehabilitation efforts include relief from climatic conditions, rest and recovery, rehydration, and medical monitoring.
    10. NFPA 1584 stipulates that rehabilitation should be provided after depletion of a second 30-minute or 45-minute SCBA air cylinder, depletion of a single 60-minute SCBA air cylinder, or after 40 minutes of strenuous work without SCBA.
    11. Firefighters should be familiar with minimum safety measures described in NFPA 1500.
    12. Rehabilitation is important in temperature extremes, inclement weather, or extended incidents.
    13. An ALS unit should be assigned to rehabilitation when a formal rehabilitation is implemented.
    14. Vital signs must be checked before firefighters return to active firefighting duties.
    15. Structural stability decreases as time and fire intensity increase.
    16. Accountability for all people entering the fire zone is essential.
    17. A safe collapse zone is equal to the height of the building, plus an allowance for debris scatter.
    18. Firefighters must understand the dynamics associated with structural collapse and recognize the signs of impending structural failure.
    19. The safety officer monitors all areas where firefighters are working.
    20. Safety is everyone’s responsibility at all times at the fire scene.
