Initial response manual features scenarios, best practices

Nov. 3, 2010 – The first edition of Structural Fire Fighting: Initial Response Strategy & Tactics
is intended to provide fire personnel with the knowledge needed to
deploy resources in the first 10 minutes of any structural fire
incident. The manual is designed to help the reader develop a logical
decision-making process for determining incident priorities, strategies,
and tactics regardless of the available resources or configuration of
the emergency services organization. Scenarios for residential,
commercial, and special hazard incidents are included with recommended
best practices and considerations. Training officers can use these
scenarios, modified to local resources and realities, to develop
classroom discussions or field simulations. This manual is a companion
to Structural Fire Fighting: Truck Company Skills and Tactics, 2nd edition and Structural Fire Fighting: High Rise Fire Fighting.
Each chapter of the manual contains learning objectives, key terms, and
review questions to assist the reader in understanding the material.
