随着今天的大火燃烧的速度更快，重要的是我们的人员准备好救援。我们应该始终以一种心态，即我们回应的每场火灾都将涉及救援。直到建筑物被视为清晰，这种心态不应减少。
With regards to rescue, another factor we must control is the fire. A fire will double in size every 30 to 60 seconds if it is not properly controlled; this is why it is imperative that we make the rescue a fast as possible.
我们的第一目标是生命安全，但是即使在救援中，我们也不能忘记火灾攻击。如果我们将大火扑灭，我们90％的问题消失了。
Are we training our people for rescue properly? When we train for a vent-enter-isolate-search event, students will always have questions. The main question most likely will be, “Why was the I added to VEIS?” When teaching, the answer I tell students is: “The ‘I’ stands for ‘Isolate.’” This is our first line of defense because we are performing the VEIS technique without a hoseline.
隔离为受害者和救援人员提供了保护。它还将有助于确保我们没有不受控制的流道。当学生理解隔离时，下一课应确保他们都意识到Veis不仅适合上层楼；他们可以在全部地板（如果需要的话，低于等级）。经常，人员会认为Veis仅适用于上层。

When VEIS training takes place, do personnel have a clear understanding of how to do the task? When teaching, I first like to break down each letter and then move to the drill ground to ensure that the student can do the task.
VEIS提示
以下是有关Veis的一些技巧：
- 通风。当我们到达现场,我们正在做360° size-up, identify high-target areas, which are rescue areas such as bedrooms and bathrooms. While we find the high-target area and are getting ready to vent, we must ensure that if we are on upper floors, the ladder is set at a 60° angle and that we do not use the ladder to break the window. If we use the ladder tip to break the window, we can create an uncontrolled flow path. When taking the window, use the proper tool, and ensure that you take out the whole window along with the frame, if possible. When the glass is out, read the smoke, noting its volume, velocity, density, and color. What is all that information telling us?
- 进入。进入之前，扫窗的底部；大多数受害者将位于地板上，并将接近出口手段。一旦扫过地板，就会在地板上发出声音。您不想首先听到地板的原因是因为您可能会击中受害者，从而进一步伤害他。检查地板后，使用热成像相机快速扫描房间。接下来，进入“盒子形状”，检查地板是否有受害者或孔，寻找中性平面；如果飞机很高，那你就很好。如果中性平面低，则表示高危害，您必须迅速移动以进行搜索并找到门。进入房间后，将指点和窗户放在窗户上的工具（例如派克杆）；这将为您提供有关如何出门的标记，并让地面船员一个“抬头”，让某人在那个房间里。
- 隔离。找到门后，将尽可能平坦地躺在地板上。接下来，爬进大厅，扫地为受害者。一旦您扫了大厅，关上门。
- 搜索。有效地执行此操作！只是在房间里走来走去不会切断它。覆盖房间的每平方英寸 - 在床，桌子下方和婴儿床的顶部和顶部。手工做这一切。（是的，TIC是协助您进行搜索的好工具，但它可以对您撒谎。）受害者可以被毯子覆盖或用碎屑掩盖，因此请确保所有搜索都是手工进行的。
当房间完全搜索时，请退出房间，然后移至下一个高目标区域。
Veis不是只能“发生”的任务。为了确保正确完成VEIS任务，请在您的部门制定培训计划。
