Study Notes

Backup Team Responsibilities

The backup team's primary responsibility is to provide support to the first attack hose line.
This support can be in the form of backing up the first line, augmenting its efforts, or protecting it from exposure.

Backup Team Operations

The backup team typically stretches a second hose line along the same route as the first line.
The backup team may be called upon to:
- Advance to the same position as the first line and operate in unison to extinguish the fire.
- Protect the first line from fire in other rooms or areas by darkening down the fire threatening them.

Backup Line Strategies

The backup line should be stretched to the floor above the fire when the fire's intensity warrants it.
The backup team should ideally stretch their hose line to a greater length than the first line.
The first line focuses on extinguishing the main body of fire, while the backup line prevents fire spread to the floor above or nearby exposures.
