This week the Tactical Fire Problem is an apartment fire.

1.) Which victim (s) are in the most danger and what is your crew going to do about it?

2.) There are three victims I can see. How many cannot be seen? What is your plan?

3.) Does it matter to you that these balconies are “cantilevered”? That is to say the floor of the balcony is an extension of the interior floor joists. How does that affect fire spread and detection?

4.) How long will it take and how many personnel might it take to give an “all clear” on civilians in this building?

5.) Have you preplanned these occupancies in your community? Do you understand both the layout and configuration as well as the construction?
