(High Rise Defined)
Any structure ______ or higher.
75’
There are two basic styles of High-rise construction:
- ____________
- ____________
- New Style
2. Old Style
New Style Construction:
- _____________________
- _____________________
- _____________________
- _____________________
- _____________________
- _____________________
- _____________________
- Steel skeleton using columns, girders, and beams
- Commonly called “core construction”
- Center core and side core
- Less mass than old style
- More vulnerable to heat from fire
- Sprayed on coatings to protect structural members
- This building will fall into the Type 1 (Fire Resistive) Occupancy rating
Old Style Construction:
- _____________________
- _____________________
- _____________________
- _____________________
- _____________________
- _____________________
- _____________________
- _____________________
- Bearing walls made of masonry
- Most constructed of reinforced concrete
- Due to the weight of the construction materials, walls were very thick at the bottom and tapered toward the top
- Very fire resistive, large mass
- Operable windows
- Least likely to collapse under fire conditions
- Prone to destruction from fire and earthquake
- As far as building type: these fall somewhere between Type III (unprotected ordinary) and Type IV (Heavy Timber)
(New Lightweight High-Rise)
This will probably become the _________ style of high-rise buildings.
third
(Roofs)
Minimum ____ hour fire rating.
2
(Floors)
Floors will usually be a ____ hour fire rating.
2
Most windows in ___________ construction cannot be opened.
“New Style”
(Potential fire area)
- __________ of fires in high-rise buildings occur on the 10th floor or lower
- __________ occur at the 7th floor or lower
- More than seventy different type occupancies
Can be in a high-rise building
- 75 percent
2. 70 percent
Remember; fire resistance is intended to provide resistance to collapse of structural members and floors and resistance to the passage of fire through floors and horizontal barriers. Fire resistance itself is not concerned with ____________ or control and movement of toxic combustion products
life safety
(Fire Load Includes)
Commercial high-rise structures contain approximately ___________ per square foot.
30 to 35 lbs.
(Plenum Space)
This space can occupy up to _______ of the overall floor space in a high-rise.
25%

PROTECT YOURSELF FIRST AND THEN PROTECT OTHERS
(Engine Company Functions)
- Because of _________ (delay) time, your first attack line priority should be the largest line _________________________.
- If a small fire is found, then the use of a pump tank or other aids may be
deployed. - Crew members carry hose bundles in a “horseshoe load” over their S.C.B.A generally, one ______ length.
- Crew members will carry the appropriate equipment by nature of their
assignment. I.e. Hydrant person carries the tools and equipment to gate and operate the standpipe. The nozzle person will carry nozzle bag and make ready
- reflex
- (2 1/2”) with a solid stream nozzle
-100’
(Check the valve)
_____________ will ascend a stairway without checking the condition of the __________________.
- No member
- standpipe valve
(Line Deployment)
The __________ determines where the standpipe will be connected. (Floor of the fire or floor below)
officer
(Line Deployment)
(1/2) If the fire is __________ upon arrival you will hook the first line to the ___________. NOTE: This line will be the protection line for the fire floor door.
- visible
- floor below
(Line Deployment)
(2/2) If nothing is showing from the street, then the officer makes the choice based on the following:
A. Confirm the fire floor
B. Officer checks the door to the fire floor, if hot then hook up below
C. If the door is cool, officer secures door opening and examines the interior area
D. If _____________ or _______ is indicated, the line may be hooked up at the __________ floor for a quick attack.
- light smoke
- heat
- fire floor
When you open the door to the fire floor and you find blackened out conditions, you must orient yourself before entering. This can be done by dropping down one floor and quickly observing the floor layout.
CAUTION: __________________________
NOT ALL FLOOR PLANS ARE INDENTICAL
(Fire Attack)
The nozzle person must check the air from the nozzle and be alert to fire conditions. ___________________________!!!
Look up, look up, look up!!!
(Fire Attack)
________ open the nozzle on the light smoke and heat.
Do not
Once the fire is found, open the line at the ceiling for several seconds to reduce some heat and scatter the water over the fuel. This must be a _____________ or extremely ____________ as to not violate the atmosphere.
- solid stream
- tight fog
(Truck company functions at high-rise fires)
All truck companies assigned to a high-rise incident must focus on the _________________. Because of the limited amount of truck companies and the amount of work expected of them, crew members must not engage a hose line unless it is needed to protect an occupant or another fire fighter from heat and fire
proper functions
(Truck company functions at high-rise fires)
The primary function of the truck companies will be:
_________________________________
Some secondary functions will be salvage, overhaul
Rescue, support to the attack team, and provide ventilation
