What is your Game Plan? The scenario is posted below and comment in the comment box beneath the post.
You are the officer of the first due engine dispatched to a residential structure fire at 1300 hours. The initial response is 3 Engines, 1 Ladder and 1 Battalion; each of the Engines are staffed with 3 and the ladder is staffed with 4. Your second due engine is 5 minutes out. Each engine carries 1000 gallons of water and has a 1500 GPM pump. The hydrant is 500 feet away and will deliver 1000 GPM. Here are the specific questions to answer in the comment section below:
#1) Will you lay in your own supply or does your department typically utilize the second due for this?
#2) What size/length attack line(s) will you stretch?
#3) What type of ventilation will you use, who will perform this function and when?
#4) Will you perform a Primary Search and if so who will perform this function?
#5) Do you see anything interesting about the construction of this structure?
Feel free to elaborate on the way you would attack this fire and any department SOP/SOGs that determine your tactics.
