Fire Engineering Training Community

Where firefighters come to talk training

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're wearing all the hats today! You're dispatched to a reported "structure" fire.  It's the middle of the week during Christmas vacation and the neighbors don't know if the kids are there or not.

  • What is your initial report?
  • Where is the fire?
  • Where is it going?
  • How many lines do you anticipate for this fire?
  • What size AND length line would you use?
  • HOW MUCH OF A PRIORITY DO YOU PLACE ON SEARCH?
  • What search tactics would you use?
  • What type and where would you vent?
  • What tactics are a priority?
  • What are your assignments for YOUR crews?
