Tactical Fire Problem - Vehicle Fire at Gas Station

This week a vehicle fire at a crowded gas station. Take a look.


1.) This is an extremely crowded station parking lot. Think of the impact of "moving exposures" and how it would relate to apparatus placement and stretching the attack line.

2.) What's in the van?

3.) How familiar are you with activating the suppression systems at your local facilities? Would you ever activate it manually?

4.) What would you do as you arrive, if the suppression system discharged with the station island so crowded and congested?

5.) Where would you locate medical staging and triage for potential breathing and contamination issues?

Stay safe and stay thinking!
