Share your strategies, tactics and experience! Every Friday we’ll post a picture or video and want to get your take on the situation.
THE SCENARIO: This video is a great training tool for size-up, radio comms & Command presence. This FD sounds very professional despite difficult fire conditions. This week we’ve got heavy fire & smoke on an upper floor w/ standpipe ops in progress and a Mayday called while transitioning to Defensive Ops. Compare this FD’s ops to your FD and give us your RECEO VS considerations. Enjoy!
- RESCUE profile
- EXPOSURE considerations
- CONFINEMENT issues
- EXTINGUISHMENT strategies/tactics
- OVERHAUL considerations
- VENTILATION strategies/tactics
- SALVAGE considerations
- PLEASE REMEMBER… We want to critique this video, however First Due Friday is a CONSTRUCTIVE tool! Mudslinging comments WILL NOT be posted. Thanks and enjoy!
NOTE: This week’s video was recommended by Bill Carey of www.backstepfirefighter.com. Thanks as always Bill!

I also so on Facebook from someone who said they were there, that this building had no standpipes. That should make this exercise more interesting.
I thought I heard them say in the video (on the radio traffic) that they were trying to hook to a standpipe? Maybe they were “making” their own. Even then, from the other pics I saw on http://www.readingpafire.com it looked like it would’ve been an interesting stretch. Thanks again Bill.

Good video, the mayday was a great communication example of staying calm and figuring out where he was stuck. I will show this in our next training. Thank you!
