火场上使用最不当的策略之一是通风口搜索(VES) operation– also known as通风口隔离搜索(veis)或我所看到的,是愚蠢的门(船)。许多消防作者/专家对这种策略进行了很好的解决,为那些采取这种极其危险的战术的人提供了一些很好的建议。我想为这项业务提供倾向。
Veis还是船只?就是那个问题
For years, VES stood for通风口搜索。The objective of VES is to quickly access rooms (bedrooms) above the fire from exterior positions before the fire gets there and remove trapped occupants who are not able to use the stairs by windows. The most critical tactic regarding the VES operation is toshut the door。Shutting the door isolates the room being searched from the rest of the house, including the open interior stairs, and basically eliminate aflow path, which buys time for rescuers.
因此,“我”被添加到VES中VEISor vent-enter-isolate-search. The “I” (isolation) was meant to isolate the room and flow path so that the victims and firefighters can survive a potentially nonsurvivable area of the structure. This is great except for the fact that if firefighters do not understand the importance of shutting the door, the term “isolate” is not going to mean anything to them. If their department and its officers (both to blame) have not taught them the importance of shutting the door during this operation, and why they must shut the door, “isolation” will mean anything to them.
Are You Ready to Perform Vent-Enter-Isolate-Search?
因此,我喜欢使用更街头的“通风口,输入,关闭门,Stupid,” (VESS) search. It leaves nothing regarding this operation to the imagination. Regarding shutting the door, I impress on students the following: I don’t care if your mother and three of your kids are in this room; if you don’t get to the door and shut it as a first action, they will all (including you) likely die. Shutting the door eliminates the flow path and buys time for the rescue; burps the area, eliminating toxins and smoke; and makes it much safer and easier to effect a rescue.
我可以在大火到达那里之前到达门吗?
One of the most critical decisions involves whether to enter the room so that the door can be closed and victims can be found and rescued. This is a tough decision, especially for a novice firefighter. The best advice I can give here is this: If you can get to the door and shut it before the fire gets there, go for it. If you cannot, you might just be dealing with a tool sweep below the window. Remember that when you break the window, you are creating a flow path. If the fire has nowhere else to go, it is coming to the window. If you decide to enter, you might not make it to the door before the fire does; and in this case, the fire will beat you back to the window every time, causing you to be trapped, allowing you to rescue no one and probably kill you. Again, an unseasoned firefighter should not be left to make this decision.
卸下整个窗框
如果要进入Veis(船)的窗口,请卸下整个框架。这不应该非常困难,并且会防止对消防员和受害者的讨厌。真正的Veis(船)操作将使进入消防员在窗框上滑行进入房间。在此操作期间,您不能将整个配置文件高高地放在窗框中,因为窗户顶部的条件可能站不住脚。如果您试图将其滑入部分清除的窗户,则可能会冒着严重的撕裂伤害,这不仅是作为救援人员,而且还是要拖回受害者。如果您正确关闭了门(船),则可以避免这种情况;但是,如果您需要避免讨厌的条件,请取出整个窗口。
两人的Veis(船)行动
技术形式的热成像相机(TIC) can be extremely valuable to a VEIS (VESS) operation. Two firefighters should work together; the first firefighter goes up the ladder and scans the room to be searched with the TIC. From this vantage point, the firefighter can ascertain conditions in the room, possibly see any victims, where the door is located, and if the door is open or closed. An open door should be readily visible through the TIC. Once this is completed (and it should take about 15 seconds), the camera is handed back to the second firefighter on the ladder. Once the lead firefighter takes out the window and frame and enters (slithers in), the second firefighter then climbs to the top of the ladder (at the sill) and monitors the activities of the firefighter searching the room. From this vantage point, the firefighter on the ladder can assist the interior firefighter with a victim, if necessary; guide the interior firefighter back to the window; monitor conditions with the TIC; and request additional assistance, if required.
扫扫,然后发出声音
受害者无法获得to the window will often be found beneath the window. We are often taught in Firefighter 1 to sound the floor before entering any area, either from a ladder through a window or to the roof. This is great except in the situation where a firefighter is entering a window for VEIS (VESS). Sounding without first sweeping beneath the window can be a severe or even deadly mistake. A blast with a halligan tool or an ax can maim an adult or kill a child beneath the window. This is often not taught in Firefighter 1. Sweep first; make sure there is no victim beneath the window, and then sound to ensure there is a floor and it will hold you.
Where Is the Door?
爬上窗户后,将其打破,清除玻璃并卸下框架。您怎么知道进入房间的门后该走哪条路?除了使用抽动扫描之外,我知道只有另一个相当可靠的经验法则来确定门的位置。如果您要进入房屋拐角处附近的窗户,则几乎总是在房屋拐角处的对面的房间门上。这意味着,如果您要进入二楼极端的窗户,则应通过在进入房间时向左搜索来找到该房间的门。如果您进入房屋最左侧的窗户,则相反,在这种情况下,通过向右搜索,将发现门最快。这不是一个艰难的规则,但是当试图在进入Veis(船只)的房间之后试图快速找到门时,这是一个很好的经验法则。

这些只是进行快速有效(安全)通风搜索操作的一些技巧。正如《船》首字母缩写所指示的那样:作为第一个动作,请进入门并关闭它。我并不是要在这里冒犯,但是关闭门的简单举动挽救了许多受害者和消防员的生命。
