The highest priority in single family dwelling fires, achieved through containing the fire and conducting a primary search.

A thorough search of the dwelling's tenable areas, bedrooms, and escape routes to locate occupants.

Areas within a dwelling that are safe to enter during a fire, typically those close to the fire or with a clear escape route.

Strategically removing or opening windows in a dwelling fire to create a path for smoke and heat to escape, allowing for a safer primary search.

Directly attacking the fire from inside the dwelling, aiming to extinguish the flames.

The assessment of the situation and available resources to determine the best firefighting tactics.

A detached or attached structure designed for one family to live in, typically up to three stories.

The first resources dispatched to a single-family dwelling fire, including 3 Engine Companies, 1 Truck Company, 1 Rescue, 1 Squad, 2 Command Officers, 1 Fire Medic Lieutenant (LR-45), and 1 CL 320 (when available).

The additional resources called in when a single-family dwelling fire is determined to be a working fire, including 1 Engine Company, 1 Truck Company, 1 Rescue, 1 Command Officer, ambulance, law enforcement, Duke Energy, and the Red Cross.

The resources that are dispatched if the situation requires even more support, including 2 Engine Companies, 1 Truck Company, 1 Rescue, 1 Squad, and 1 Command Officer.

They are responsible for initial size-up, radio report, wearing full protective gear, laying a supply line if needed, announcing the plan of action, and investigating if no supply line is needed.

A verbalized communication of the planned water source and distribution strategy, especially important when multiple calls indicate a serious fire.

A method of laying a hose line that divides the hose into two separate lines, providing multiple water sources.

A method of laying a hose line that starts at the hydrant and ends at the fire, unlike the traditional forward lay.

An engine company declares ownership of a hydrant when it is within 100 feet of its final parking spot, ensuring a reliable water source.

The officer of the second arriving engine company must have a water supply plan ready if the first engine didn't lay a line.

The first arriving squad company is responsible for wearing proper gear, conducting primary search, securing utilities, providing scene lighting and power, filling breathing apparatus bottles, assisting truck company operations, and providing updates to the Incident Commander.

The Rescue Lieutenant is responsible for wearing protective gear, reporting to the Incident Commander, ensuring Rehab is properly staffed, and managing the ALS equipment in case of injuries.

The Safety Officer is responsible for wearing protective gear, communicating with the Incident Commander, conducting a 360-degree reconnaissance of the structure, and notifying the Incident Commander of any safety concerns or recommendations.

The First Arriving Command Officer assumes the position of Incident Commander, manages scene and crew accountability, and directs the incident using established protocols.

The Second Arriving Command Officer reports to the Incident Commander and brings all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to the Command Post for potential deployment.

The first arriving engine company is responsible for establishing a water supply, stretching a hoseline, and advancing the attack line to the fire area.

Normally, the engine should be positioned on Alpha side (left side of the building) without hindering the truck company's operations.

The attack line should be long and have enough GPM to contain, control, or extinguish the fire. Any deviations from standard stretches need approval.

Position the initial attack line between the fire and potential trapped civilians, also protecting the interior stairs.

The first arriving rescue company conducts a size-up, provides a brief radio report, wears protective clothing and SCBA, and assists with operations as directed.

Park the rescue unit in a way that doesn't block the suppression units.

Assist the first arriving engine company with the initial hose stretch.

Provide appropriate medical care based on the Pinellas County Medical Operations Manual to any victims.

The second arriving engine ensures a continuous water supply has been established for the first engine.

The C.A.N. report is a standardized report used to provide updates to the Incident Commander about conditions, actions being taken, and needs.

Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus - Provides firefighters with breathable air during operations in hazardous environments.

Tags used to track the location and status of firefighters at an incident.

The first hose line deployed to fight a fire, typically positioned to reach the fire area directly.

A designated team ready to rescue firefighters who may become trapped or in danger.

A ladder mounted on a fire truck that can extend vertically to reach upper floors.

Ladders used to access lower floors and windows.

Techniques used to gain access to a structure in an emergency, such as breaching doors or windows.

The process of removing smoke and heat from a fire building, often using fans or cutting holes in the roof.
