essay on fire attack​

Answer 1

Answer:

FIRE ATTACK

Explanation:

Fire tactic: offensive vs. defensive fire attack. When the goal is to extinguish a fire, the incident commander must decide on an offensive, a marginal (or transitional) or defensive fire attack

When the goal is to extinguish a fire, the incident commander must decide on an offensive, a marginal (or transitional) or defensive fire attack.

The operation must first begin with size-up to enable the incident commander to decide which mode to operate in — offensive or defensive. A marginal or transitional attack is used to focus tactics on saving lives. In a transitional attack, hose lines are used to protect crews for rescue support, not for fire extinguishment. The purpose is to accomplish a known rescue and get out, which may force a change in the two-in-two-out thinking mentality.

It's important to note that OSHA's two-in, two-out regulation requires that prior to a team entering an IDLH environment, there must be a two-person initial rapid intervention team on the exterior of the hazard zone. The only time this rule may be set aside is if there is a reasonable confirmation of a live victim that can be saved if a crew immediately enters the IDLH without an exterior rescue crew.
