Study Notes
Life Safety Systems
- Life safety systems include systems that support human life and safety in a building or structure, such as fire alarms, sprinklers, and smoke detectors.
Life Safety Systems Activation Form
- The Life Safety Systems Activation Form is used to document legitimate activations of life safety systems within a building or structure.
- The form should include information about the activated item and location, such as the type of system activated (e.g. hood, sprinkler) and the location of the activation (e.g. building, floor, room).
Purpose of the Life Safety Systems Activation Form
- The purpose of the form is to provide a standardized way to document life safety system activations, ensuring that all necessary information is captured for incident reporting and analysis.
- The form is also used to facilitate communication between incident responders and fire department personnel.
Incident Commander's Responsibilities
- Upon determining a legitimate activation of a life safety system, the Incident Commander should accumulate information about the activation, including the type of system activated and the location of the activation.
- The Incident Commander should include this information in the Life Safety Systems Activation Form.
- Before leaving the scene, the Incident Commander should ensure that all necessary information has been captured and documented.
Lieutenant or Operational Captain's Responsibilities
- After opening the Life Safety Systems Activation Form, the Lieutenant or Operational Captain should review the information documented by the Incident Commander.
- They should ensure that the form is complete and accurate, and that all necessary information has been captured.
Response to Life Safety System Activation
- If a life safety system has been legitimately activated within a building or structure, the Incident Commander should accumulate information about the activation and document it in the Life Safety Systems Activation Form.
- If the system was activated due to a malfunction, the Incident Commander should also document this information in the form.
NFIRS Report
- The Life Safety Systems Activation Form should be opened after completing the NFIRS report to ensure that all necessary information has been captured and documented.
