  Chapter 7 ‣ Chapter7 discusses specific types of structures, fires, or operations with which a firefighter may be confronted. These occupancies, situations, or types of fires have specific dangers that have had deadly results. ‣ At the end of each section are size-up factors as well as strategic goals and tactical priorities that need to be considered when confronted by fires in these occupancies. These lists are not meant to be all-inclusive. Other factors can and will exist that also must be considered. ‣ The strategic goals and tactical priorities are for both offensive and defensive attacks, with suggested considerations for implementing an incident management system to meet the potential problems. The strategic goals and tactical priorities noted are in response to some of the potential problems that may occur. The suggested incident management positions do not mean to suggest that they must be used or that using them is the only correct method. These are initial positions that should be considered. Depending upon the problems presented by each individual situation, the Incident Commander can implement these or other incident management positions to deal with the problems. Chapter Overview

  Chapter 8 ‣ Chapter8 discusses health care and high-risk occupancies. Hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, penal institutions, and schools have occupants who typically cannot assist themselves should a fire occur in these facilities. The elderly and the very young will require assistance from firefighters should a fire occur. ‣ Houses of worship and public assembly buildings, when occupied, can have a large number of occupants who may not be familiar with the building. ‣ Mass casualty incidents (MCIs) will tax fire and emergency medical systems in their quest to save lives and minimize injuries. ‣ School incidents include firefighters’ responsibilities at violent situations created by individuals that the police refer to as “active shooters,” meaning those who have shot, killed, and injured students, both at schools and on college campuses. Active shooter incidents now have been extended to other venues, including the workplace, movie theatres, and other locales. Chapter Overview

  Chapter 10 ‣ Thereare many special types of operations that can confront responding firefighters. These incidents will often require the expertise of specially trained personnel to mitigate the problems found. However, the initial responders will often face difficult decisions that will need to be made prior to the arrival of the specialists or technicians. For this reason, this chapter looks at those special areas: hazardous materials (hazmat) incidents, tank farm or refinery fires, terrorist incidents, dirty bombs, clandestine drug labs (CDLs), and natural disasters. Each of these subjects is complex enough to fill a book of its own. This chapter will present an overview of these important subjects. The initial actions at a scene are the keystone of an operation. When performed correctly, the incident usually runs smoothly, and the problems that arise can be addressed. ‣ Hazmat incidents can occur anywhere and at any time. The response time for a hazmat team can often be too long for firefighters to await their arrival without attempting to mitigate a minor situation or one that involves life-safety of civilians. This demands that firefighters have a basic understanding of hazmat. They should be able to reference the Department of Transportation guidebook to identify the potential of hazmat and initiate actions to mitigate the situation. This is especially important when dealing with tank farm or refinery fires. Chapter Overview

  Chapter 10 ‣ Incidentsinvolving terrorism are rare. Yet their occurrence will have a tremendous potential for a large loss of life and injury. We must recognize the signs that identify these events and act accordingly. This is especially true with the possibility of the detonation of a dirty bomb. Terrorism incidents will place firefighters at the leading edge. CDLs pose not only the potential for explosion injuring emergency responders, but the hazardous waste created can affect anyone who comes into contact with it. ‣ Natural disasters can strike anywhere and anytime. Preparation is a key element in attempting to address the many and varied problems that these disasters pose. ‣ We as initial responders must ensure that our actions do not complicate a situation that will be difficult at best. We should know the protection provided by our turnout gear. Our actions should be directed to minimize death or injury of civilians and firefighters alike. Chapter Overview Cont.
