Tactical Fire Problem – Storage Building
This week we are looking at a structure fire in a storage building/
1.) As you look at the building with no markings, what other information can you find in this response that might give clues to contents?
2.) Looking down the “D” side estimate the length of the building.
3.) How advanced is the fire based upon smoke conditions?
4.) The smoke condition appears to be emanating from a horizontal joint near the roof line. What can this tell you about possible construction, if anything?
5.) What is the attack plan? How many lines, what size, and where and how?
