    Phases of Fire Fighting

    Uploaded by

    Romel Torres
    Firefighting involves several key phases: fire control, fire suppression, fire operations, pre-fire planning, size-up, rescue, forcible entry, exposure control, confinement, ventilation, extinguishment, salvage, overhaul, and post-fire analysis. There are also seven degrees of hazard that are assessed: occupancy type, floor area, building height, number of floors, occupant load, construction materials, and stored materials. The goal is to prevent fire spread, lower temperatures, conduct rescue operations, ventilate smoke and heat, extinguish the fire, protect property, and analyze lessons learned. Firefighters risk their lives in a calculated way to save lives and property that can still be saved.
