COMMON PROBLEMSIN SINGLE-FAMILY
DWELLINGS
Common Problems
Life hazard and victim location
• Sleeping areas
• Escape routes
• Closets and under beds
Common Problems (cont’d)
Extension of fire, heat, and smoke• Open stairs• Voids• Outside structure• Room to room
Common Problems (cont’d)
Structure deterioration and collapse
• Weakened structural elements– Roofs
– Floors
– Exterior walls
• Lightweight construction
• Structural deficiences
BASIC TACTICS
First Floor Fire
• Primary search and rescue
• Ventilate to support the primary search, then to support other strategies
• Interior fire attack from unburned to burned
• Check for extension on all six sides
Basement Fire
• Primary search and rescue
• Ventilate first floor to maintain control of operating area
• Ventilate basement
• Fire flow options
• Interior stairs act as a chimney
• Safety issues
Second/Third Floor Fires
• Second floor with third floor above, treat as a first floor fire that often needs ladder support for various tactics
• Top floor with attic/attic space above, treat as a second floor fire with possible extension to the attic/attic space
Attic Fire
• Attack fire from floor below
• Pull ceiling from doorway and extinguish fire
• Ventilate horizontally
• Ventilate vertically only on large attic area
Attached Garage Fire
• Keep fire from entering main living area• Provide handlines to main living area and
garage• Pull walls and ceilings to prevent extension• When truss construction assumed, do not get
on or nder roof assembly if well involved• Provide horizontal ventilation
Support Activities
• SCBA bottle changes
• Electricity and lights
• Utility control
• Rehab area
