So many cities have High-Rise structures and the tactics used by various departments varies as much as the cities themselves. The group is designed to allow Metro-City and Big-City firefighters discuss this challenging aspect of our jobs.

High Rise SOP's

by Don Huneke

Apr 27, 2009

My Dept is cleaning house. All SOP's are out and we are starting from scratch. Long over due I might add. We are a Vol combat fire dept with 9 Engines, 3 Trucks, 3 support units (HazMat, Air and Light). Run about 2500 fire calls a year. Our EMS is paid and those runs do not count as fire runs, The Cmnd staff is paid too. We need modern and up to date SOP's / SOG's for operating at High Rise incidents. Our response area has quite a few high rises that vary in type and constuction.

I was hoping that one of you had either your dept SOP's / SOG's or sample ones we could review and either adopt or modify to our needs and abilities.

Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi John

    Any chance you can send those to michaeldombroski@hotmail.com

    I'm keen to research different SOP's. Ours are left wanting a bit.

    Thanks

    I wrote a set for the combination FD that I work for part time. We have 5 engines, 2 ladders and a rescue. The SOP I wrote is pretty basic. I also work for Houston FD full time and can send you those as well but they are quite extensive. Send me your email address and I'll forward a copy of one or both.
