Study Notes
Basic Offensive Plan
- Command is established to direct operations during the incident.
- Initial assessment includes sizing up the incident and identifying critical factors that may impact the operation.
- Fire attack is launched from the most advantageous position using an appropriate volume of water to control the flames effectively.
- A primary search is conducted simultaneously with the fire attack when feasible, prioritizing life safety.
- Support activities include coordination of ventilation and forcible entry to enhance fire control effectiveness.
- Firefighters support the attack from secondary advantageous positions while maintaining adequate water volume for continued suppression.
- Focus on loss control and property conservation to minimize damage to structures and properties.
- Continuous evaluation of actions is essential, allowing for adjustments of strategies and tactics based on effective assessments.
Basic Defensive Plan
- Command is established to lead the defensive operations in emergencies.
- Initial size-up determines the extent of the incident and critical factors influencing tactics.
- Identify what can be written off due to fire damage while focusing on protecting savable structures and exposures.
- Engage in fire suppression from advantageous positions, utilizing large volume devices and strategic placements for maximum effectiveness.
- Support is organized to meet the needs of a high-volume fire attack, ensuring necessary water supply and pumping capabilities are in place.
- Maintain adequate resources to fully support firefighting operations and other necessary activities.
- Address fire extension, life safety, and loss control measures for exposures when the risk management strategy allows for such actions.
- Continuous evaluation is crucial for reevaluating tactics and adjusting operational strategies as needed.
