NFPA 1500
Following are comments to consider in the NFPA 1500 rule-making process: “Companies shall assemble crews of at least four members before conducting interior attack on a working structural fire" raises questions more than it gives guidance. Do the four include the pump operator, the hydrant person, and the fireground commander, thus leaving only one person pulling the hose, operating the nozzle, and performing search and rescue? Do the four include the persons necessary for the backup line? Are we saying that each operating interior attack line must have four people? Are we trying to say that each engine must respond with 10 people?
