Tactical Fire Problem - Downtown Storefront

This week a commercial old downtown building. Take a look.


1.) A building like this in your response area should be pre planned to the best of your ability.

2.) What is the approximate age of this building? What impact will that factor have on your strategy and tactics.

3.) Answer the standard NFA questions about this scenario. What have I got? Where is it going? What resources will I need to control it?

4.) In your department with your resources how long will it take to get the appropriate size line in position at the seat of the fire?

5.) What are the ventilation challenges?

Stay safe, and stay thinking!
