为了进行成功的内部攻击，您必须尽快找到火的座位，并让发动机公司成员使用适当的直径和长度霍斯线进行侵略性攻击。如果到达时大火的位置并不明显，则在开始主要搜索行动时，必须在他们开始主要搜索行动时搜索第一架卡车公司（或那些指定的卡车公司职责）。机组人员只有在条件的不断规模和适当的风险/福利分析的应用下才能承担并继续这些功能。
Begin the primary search on the fire floor by finding the seat of the fire and directing engine company members to the point of best advantage. At the same time, truck company firefighters must begin their search for victims at the point closest to the fire where viable victims may be rescued. By searching for life and fire, the truck company members are not only providing the best opportunity for victim survivability, but their actions make the fireground safer for firefighters by finding the fire’s location and enabling an efficient fire attack by the engine company. Once the fire attack has begun, the truck company can vent as they search, continuing to improve conditions, enhancing visibility, and increasing the chance of finding victims.
在内政公司和事件指挥官之间进行良好沟通的协调良好的努力将为成功袭击和营救濒危居民带来最佳机会。当卡车公司在消防楼上寻找生活时，发动机公司消防员必须意识到正在进行的搜索并采取行动以根据需要支持这些努力。这可以通过在大火上的持续前进来实现。从保护普通的走廊，楼梯或其他访问和出口手段的地步工作，同时继续进行大火，这使进行搜索的成员从最接近火的位置移动时可以安全，自信地运作，可行的受害者可能会有可行的受害者可以找到 - 回到他们的入境点。

These tried-and-true tactics performed using continual size-up of fire and building conditions provide aggressive fire attack on manageable offensive fires as well as the best opportunity to conduct a primary search in close proximity to the seat of the fire. Each occupancy and fire may provide differing circumstances; fire departments must operate within the parameters of their own resources. However, there is little doubt that finding the seat of the fire and searching from that point to the egress point while directing placement of an attack line will provide an optimal scenario for locating endangered occupants.
Conducting a rapid search for life and fire coordinated with proper size-up and situational awareness saves not only civilian but firefighter lives as well. The sooner you locate and rescue occupants, the better their chance for survival. The quicker you locate and begin to attack the fire, the better the situation for civilians and firefighters alike.
It is up to you as s firefighter to master the science and the techniques of the primary search. Companies engaging in search for life and fire must read the building, the smoke, and the fire as well as the occupant profile. Additionally, you must conduct a risk/benefit analysis on a continual basis with awareness of changing interior and exterior conditions. The availability and effectiveness of handline operations will be key to the continuation of the search once the fire has been located. Engine and truck companies working in concert to find the fire, locate trapped occupants, confine fire spread, and perform fire attack is搜索可以挽救生命。
