First Due Friday; A Small Fire In A Strip Mall

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:  You are dispatched to a late night smoke detector and burglar alarm activation in a strip center.  You arrive to find this!  (Just pretend there aren’t lines and ladders already in place).  WHAT WOULD YOU DO?  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!
