Ic gathers info and should inform you of what? |
Number of people involved in incident Approximate ages of people involved Any People involved who have mobility issues or dependencies Info gathered from fire survival calls Last know location and activity of incident Location in relation to the fire Building movies may have plans of premises attached to a wall adjacent to an alarm panel I’m absence of this, good practice for IC to send FF to unaffected floor to report back in general layout of floor |
|
|
Search co-ordination (WM minimum) tasks |
Gather info Assisting IC or sector commander in co-ordinating the search and recording information concerning the search on a forward info board |
|
|
How many wearers can be connected together at once and why? |
4 - no team member more than 6m from the team leader who must maintain contact with the wall |
|
|
IC should select and implement most appropriate method of searching a premises in accordance with what things? |
Any pre planning Number and location of persons involved The type of structure to be searched The scale and complexity of the incident The hazards and risks prevented The other tasks to be achieved eg, firefighting, structural safety, shoring |
|
|
Search brows for team may require search to commence either at: |
Point of entry Point if greatest danger for casualties within an area Close to likely seat of fire Or at some other designated point within the structure |
|
|
Two methods of searching a structure |
Compartment search Directional search |
|
|
Principle of compartment search |
Ba team will attempt to fully search each compartment entered before moving on to next compartment |
|
|
Principle of directional search |
Ba teams will search in a specific directional. Clear all compartments but not necessarily before moving between compartments |
|
|
Advantages and limitations of compartment search |
Systematic and relatively simplistic procedure to apply More suitable for certain types of structure where all rooms are largely cleared as the search progresses This method does not necessarily clear a compartment before the BA team moves on There is potential to pass a fire compartment which may compromise the means of escape for BA teams |
|
|
Directional search advantages and limitations |
Each compartment is mapped out systematically as the BA teams progress Suitable for range of structures particularly complex multi-compartmented structures with many interconnecting rooms Large compartments may not be able to be fully cleared due to un searched areas in the centre of the compartment Disciplined and systematic observance of the search brief by the BA team is essential |
