  1. UNIT 4:RESCUE, VENTILATION, SUPPORT, AND OVERHAUL

  2. OBJECTIVES The students will: • Select appropriate ventilation tactics based on identified ventilation principles and tactical considerations. • Using the command sequence cycle, develop a ventilation action plan based on the incident presented. • Select appropriate rescue tactics based on identified rescue principles and tactical considerations.

  3. OBJECTIVES (cont'd) • Using the command sequence cycle, develop a rescue action plan based on the incident presented. • Understand the incident support activities that are necessary to promote safe fireground operations before, during, and after a fire. • Understand the necessary safe practices that need to be implemented during overhaul operations.

  4. RESCUE

  5. RESCUE Rescue is a systematic process used to locate, protect, and remove occupants and fire victims safely from a structure and convey them to a place of safety.

  6. RESCUE TACTICS • Conduct primary search • Conduct secondary search • Provide for rescued occupants

  7. CONDUCT PRIMARY SEARCH • Rapid search of all areas involved in or exposed to fire, if they can be entered, to verify removal and/or safety of occupants. • Key elements. • Removal of victims. • Transmit "ALL CLEAR."

  8. CONDUCT SECONDARY SEARCH • Extremely thorough search of interior fire area after initial fire control, ventilation, and interior lighting are completed, to ensure that there is no possibility of victims remaining undiscovered. • Key elements.

  9. PROVIDE FOR RESCUED OCCUPANTS • Victim removal paths • Move victims to triage area • Treat victims • Transport victims • Provide for uninjured, displaced persons

  10. TACTICAL SIZEUP FOR RESCUE • Sizeup factors • Stage of fire development • Number, location, and condition of victims; effect of fire on victims • Capability of onscene companies • Sizeup questions

  11. SUPPORT FOR RESCUE OPERATIONS • Timing • Protective lines • Entry • Ventilation • Laddering • Confinement/Extinguishment

  12. RESCUE COORDINATION ISSUES • Teamwork, organization, and good communication. • Rapid ventilation. • Keep fire away from people and protect escape routes with hoselines. • Laddering to ventilate and advance protective hoselines.

  13. RESCUECommand Sequence # 4

  14. REVIEW SIZEUP REPORT OF FIREGROUND CONDITIONS

  15. SIZEUP REPORT OF FIREGROUND CONDITIONS • Initial report To be given immediately upon arrival on location • Exact location and conditions as observed • Nothing showing • Size of structure--stories and dimension--type of construction--occupied or vacant • Smoke/Fire--location and density • Status of occupants--if known • Exposures--Sides A, B, C, D, or other • Engine __ is establishing ___ Street Command.

  16. SIZEUP REPORT OF FIREGROUND CONDITIONS (cont'd) • Subsequent report Information not immediately reported and/or information developed upon investigation. To be given ASAP or within 5 minutes. • Progress report To be given by the Incident Commander (IC) every 10 minutes until fire is under control.

  29. RESCUEACTION PLAN

  30. WHAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED?INCIDENT OBJECTIVES • Safe removal of occupants • Contain and control fire to room/building of origin

  31. WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE?INCIDENT STRATEGY(IES) • Rescue • Confinement/Extinguishment • Ventilation • Special equipment

  32. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO IT?INCIDENT TACTICS • Rescue • Deploy search and rescue groups to remove occupants • Deploy one 1-3/4-inch hoseline Side A first floor for stairwell protection • Confinement/Extinguishment • Deploy 1-3/4-inch hoseline to Side A first floor for fire confinement/extinguishment • Deploy one 1-3/4-inch hoseline to Side C first floor for fire confinement/extinguishment

  33. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO IT?INCIDENT TACTICS (cont'd) • Ventilate • Ventilate stairwells to support occupant removal • Vent roof apertures • Horizontal ventilation all floors for fire confinement • Special equipment • Employ imaging camera to support search and rescue groups

  34. IMPLEMENT THE RESCUE ACTION PLAN Communicate all assignments clearly to all resources operating on the incident.

  35. EVALUATE THE RESCUE ACTION PLAN • Evaluate progress every 10 minutes. • Obtain feedback reports from resources operating on the incident.
