First Due Friday; Heavy Fire Top Floor!

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:  Use your knowledge of row/townhouse construction to tell us where the fire is and where it’s going. What conditions can you expect in the hallway and/or stairs if interior doors are left open?  Also, give us your SIZE-UP, CREW ASSIGNMENTS & 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!
