Study Notes
Structural Incident Guidelines
- Utilize the mnemonic SAW CSS RECEO VSS to guide fire operations.
- Ongoing considerations during incidents: Size-Up, Apparatus Placement, Water Supply, Command, Strategy, Safety.
- Sequence of operations includes Rescue, Exposure Protection, Confinement, Extinguishment, and Overhaul.
- Ventilation, Salvage, and Support are additional tasks that can be performed as needed.
Tactical Priorities
- Three standard tactical priorities must be completed in a specific order:
- Life Safety: Focus on ensuring firefighter safety, protecting occupants, and removing individuals at risk.
- Completion benchmark: Primary search is all clear.
- Incident Stabilization: Activities aimed at stopping the fire's progress and bringing it under control.
- Completion benchmark: Fire/situation is under control.
- Property Conservation: Efforts to minimize property loss and return the building to a safe condition.
- Completion benchmark: Loss stopped (not radio-reported).
- Life Safety: Focus on ensuring firefighter safety, protecting occupants, and removing individuals at risk.
Rescue Considerations
- Reports from occupants should not solely guide rescue operations; primary search is needed for victim verification.
- Factors influencing rescue plans include the number, location, and condition of victims, as well as evacuation feasibility.
- Effective primary search relies on rapid execution, while secondary search focuses on thoroughness.
Search Operations
- Primary Search: Quick verification of occupant safety in affected areas. The IC coordinates assignments and ensures thorough reporting.
- Secondary Search: Conducted post-fire control by different companies to ensure no victims remain in danger.
Fire Extent and Location
- Evaluating fire location is key to determining rescue strategies.
- If "Nothing Showing," confirm no threats and report "all clear."
- In "Smoke Showing" scenarios, rescue efforts must be paired with fire control to facilitate primary search operations.
- For "Fully Involved" situations, firefighting must occur quickly to enable a subsequent secondary search.
Rescue Priority and Tactics
- Prioritize rescues by assessment: most threatened individuals, largest groups, remaining individuals in danger.
- Rescue tactics include search, evacuation, shelter-in-place options, and ventilation.
Rescue Crew Management
- Assign primary search goals in complex buildings to ensure thorough coverage.
- When crews free victims, redeploy remaining personnel to cover vacated areas.
- Effective hoseline placement is essential to secure escape routes and limit fire spread.
- Use normal egress paths for victim removal; resort to aerial devices as needed.
- In buildings with fire separations, employ protect-in-place tactics to streamline evacuations and resource allocation.
- Maintain at least one company with occupants in designated safe areas during protective measures.
