We split crews of more than 3 into two crews for search. Two for fire, two for life, two enter a door, two enter a window with the expectation that they continue the search until it’s complete. Forcing doors or windows, one masks up while the other forces and then swap if needed, no wasted time. They heard radio traffic of water on the fire, now all windows in low/zero viz are broke out if needed and interior doors are opened up to get some life. | Search Culture

Seeing these conditions, I wouldn’t hesitate to take a window and commit a crew to search. Prior to water on the fire, in this fire, we’re good to go. Look at the lift at the front door. That’s what we should be hunting for at every door and window. And the only way to find it is to open doors and take windows. We can do that when we isolate before knockdown, and we can do it anytime after knockdown as well. A couple seconds into this video and it’s already fair game. EDIT: This post isn’t speci

They realize that another can enter the room and start a search from a window. They realize the civilian is now a lowert priority & adjust. One relized that he can unplug his air. Another crew realized thay work needs to continue and three two more ladders to the room adjacent. There is still some standing around at the bottom of th

the engine and heavy rescue arrive in tandem. the engine stretches to the garage we are on the rescue & assigned search are we masking up for the search if we force the door and the interior is clean? have you considered the line or water application the engine decided on and how that affects the interior? what size line did the engine pull? 1.75ish so they plan to knock and go interior where we are searching and the civilians are? (if it’s pressured smoke inside) 2.5ish so they plan on knocking

This is the view from a TIC scan in a bedroom. But this is 100% high visibility, a camera and not thermal, no stress, no heat & no fire. Was it worth it? If we are scanning before a FF enters the room, we are delaying isolation, vent, search, locating civilians, removing civilians and getting civilians to EMS. If the FF is entering and searching as we scan, they are going to locate the bed before we can with the TIC, they did a size-up and know where the window is, before we can communicate that

We are not perfect. These are our recruits. We have standards, expectations & training, that allow them to operate at a professional level. They are expected to give a conditions report, if they are the first to the interior on any floor. They are expected, taught & encouraged to make decisions. They arrived on a 4 man rig & assigned "all in for search". Why did they split 2/2? Does your department allow companies to split? How coordinated is your search?

Searching from windows, is a foundational search. That means that it’s, the simplest to perform, to learn, to teach, to coordinate with a whole crew entering and is a less complicated search with less decisions, than if we entered the front door. We typically enter windows with the whole crew for search, when the fire has been located (usually by the first due Engine Co. that defaults as Fire Attack). Searching from windows, should be our go to. Sending the whole crew in to start a search from t
