Scenario: On arrival at the fireground, a large three-story taxpayer, your company is ordered to perform a primarysearch在大火上方的地板上。您和另外两名消防员分配了此任务方法的后入口，该方法将提供所有楼层的访问权限。据广播报道，第一台发动机正在对一楼的大火进行积极进攻。正在伸展备用线以支撑攻击，而三惠发动机刚刚到达，并将延伸到上面的地板。
The事件指挥官（IC）has informed the companies on the first floor that your team will be operating above them. As you begin your search from the rear stairwell and into a large apartment, you find that heat and smoke has banked down. You wonder if fire has extended to this floor. The company officer transmits a situational report to command; he details your location, the conditions you have encountered while searching, and requests that the line be stretched immediately. Your company pauses briefly to maintain orientation; check air supply; and listen for audible signs of victims, fire spread, and other firefighting activity nearby, outside, or on the roof.
Just as you begin to move down the short hallway that typically leads to the bedrooms in these occupancies, the天花板behind your team opens up and drops a blanket of heat, smoke, and fire along with chunks of plaster. The fire has ripped through the balloon frame construction of the old building and blocked your original access point.
您在培训中练习的五种基本技能即将支付life-saving随着您的公司对威胁生命的状况的反应，股息会产生股息。
- 一个ir management.您的公司遵循搜索过程中的空中管理规则，并且没有超过其限制air supply。Each member still has air left in his self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and no low-air alarms have sounded.
- 方向暂停。During the search, you stopped for a few seconds and held your breath to quiet your SCBAface piece。在此暂停期间，您评估了您的位置，空调和出口手段，并评估了周围环境或潜在受害者的可听见线索。
- “ Sit-Rep。”如果条件不及预期，您的公司官员立即使用LCAN（位置，条件，行动，需求）格式传输了情境报告。此及时，简短且格式良好的报告建议您确切的当前位置以及该领域的条件以及您的主要搜索仍在进行中，您需要一个hoseline提供直接支持。
- 地区熟悉。在您所在地区工作的时间已得到充分利用；该公司的成员熟悉了常见的占用类型及其建设和一般布局。在初级搜索期间，此信息可能是无价的操作as well as incidents where members need to find an alternate means of egress or seek shelter.
- Mayday message.Yourcompany officerand all members of the unit are well versed in the format of the Mayday transmission. The ability to report your location, status, air supply, and special rescue needs in a calm and accurate radio message will increase the chance of a successful rescue.
Using thefundamentalsdiscussed above, command had a good handle on your location and the deteriorating conditions. The line to the floor above was in the process of being expedited. The company officer immediately transmitted a Mayday when your egress became blocked and you had no handline. However, with your knowledge of typical occupancies in your district, members were quite confident that the bedroom off the hallway that you were in should contain a fire escape. Members of the unit entered the room, closed the door behind them to isolate your location from the fire, and quickly found a window with a fire escape. The officer and firefighters quickly made their way to safety and cancelled the Mayday as the line stretched for extension began to operate on the fire.
上面讨论的一些基本原理可能有助于防止成员陷入麻烦，如果需要在火场上出现需求，所有人将有助于取得救援或自救操作的成功。这些技能是基本的，但如果不定期进行易腐烂。消防员应在每次事件中适当使用它们，并使它们成为不可或缺的一部分训练on a daily basis. When you make emergency procedures part of your routine, they will be performed efficiently and correctly during the stress of an actual incident.
