Study Notes
- When an IDLH atmosphere is identified, an initial RIT shall be identified and consideration shall be given to increasing resources for a structure fire response.
- When concentrations are the highest, ventilation should be started immediately.
- All intrinsically safe equipment should be turned on prior to entering a gaseous atmosphere.
- In large homes, crews should also be cognizant of the possibility that more than one meter could be serving the single-family dwelling.
- All occupants shall be evacuated from the danger area.
- All ignition sources shall be eliminated by manual controls.
- No electric switches shall be operated in the hazard area.
- Where possible electric service shall be controlled and shut down from the exterior of the involved structure.
- Consideration must be given to a potential ignition source being an auxiliary generator.
- If the power to a structure is shut off at the electric panel this action may cause the generator to operate.
- Secure the generator prior to operating the electric panel.
