Tactical Fire Problem - Car Fire Under a carport.

Is it just a car fire single engine company response as it was dispatched or is it something more? Take a look and you decide.


1.) What is your normal response for a reported car fire? When do you upgrade?

2.) What is your strategy here and what do you do with the first attack line?

3.) What challenges will be encountered if the entire carport becomes involved?

4.) is it likely that a structure such as the one shown might be located up a long driveway or a gated residence?

5.) When you are reviewing your response district look at these carport, canopies, and overhangs and imagine a fire underneath. These could be cars, vans, or delivery trucks.

Thanks, stay safe and stay thinking!
