Q

Give us a 360/ explain your thinking

A

I will conduct a 360 utilizing the tool PbRrmEe. I will be using this tool for the entirety of my 360.

People - I am developing a victim profile based on time of day, vehicles at home, witness reports, or people seen. I assume the structure is occupied until the structure is searched.

Building - evaluating building construction

Resources - what is my current response package/ do I need to upgrade?

Red - Do i see fire?

Moving - where is the fire going?

exposures - working from the exterior in do I have any exposures?

emergencies - Do I see any scene hazards that will affect fire ground safety?

Q

what are your tactical priorities on a structure fire?

A

My tactical priorities are based off of RECEO VS. Rescue, exposure, confinement, extinguishment, overhaul , vent, salvage

I dont see any victims but I have a high victim profile based off of….we will confine and extinguish the fire to its room of origin to protect any interior/exterior exposures. Once we have knockdown we will immediately conduct a search off of the hose line for victims. throughout fire attack I will assess the needs for vent and radio command for any additional needs. once these priorities are met we will conduct salvage and overhaul

A

offensive - FF’s exposed to IDLH
defensive - conditions/ structure dictate work to be done from the exterior
