2. Modes – QuandrantModel Outside Offensive outside attack Objective Rapid response to contain and stabilise the fire from outside. Create tenable conditions in readiness for offensive inside attack. Defensive outside attack Offensive inside attack Relative Risk Objective Firefighters operate outside the building, outside the collapse zone. Saving the building is no longer an option without excessive risk to firefighting personnel. Objective Firefighters operate directly within the hazard zone or fire compartment within the building, where benefit outweighs risk –Risk of dynamic and aggressive change in fire conditions will always be present. Defensive Offensive Defensive inside attack Objective Rapid response to contain and stabilise the fire from outside the compartment. Create tenable conditions in readiness for offensive compartment attack. Relative Safety Inside

Relative Risk Defensive Offensive Defensive inside attack Offensive inside attack Objective Rapid response to contain and stabilise the fire from outside the compartment. Create tenable conditions in readiness for offensive compartment attack. Objective COBRA facilitates safer egress into building or compartment for BA operations and traditional firefighting methods. COBRA Supported rapid internal firefighting intervention into the fire compartment, with lower risk and more effective facilitated BA deployment. Objective Firefighters operate directly within the hazard zone or fire compartment within the building, where benefit outweighs risk –Risk of dynamic and aggressive change in fire conditions will always be present.

4. Enhancedcommandoptions Outside Defensive outside attack Offensive outside attack Command Objective To provide an effective means of an offensive attack from the relative safety of a defensive position without the need to expose firefighters to internal risks. Outcome Rapid control and stablisation of the fire conditions from a position of low risk. Command Objective To ensure that firefighting personnel are not exposed to excessive risk, based on the nature of the fire and the potential for structural collapse of the building. Outcome limiting fire damage to the boundary of the building resulting in prolonged but safer firefighting operations. Consequence - high levels of damage, social, and environmental impact Defensive Offensive Defensive inside attack Offensive inside attack Command Objective To rapidly respond to a high risk internal compartment fire without the need to significantly increase the risk parameters of the fire situation. Outcome Facilitating rapid sequential traditional attack options under significantly safer conditions. Command Objective COBRA facilitated faster and More effective operational attack under significantly improved operational conditions: Outcome Less Risk to firefighting personnel and remaining building occupancy facilitating more effective operational deployment.
