The IAFC board of directors endorsed ___ __ _____ in August 2011 as "best safety
practice model procedures." - ANS-Rules of Engagement
Covering high risk operations in a high hazard environment required that the rules meet
the following criteria(4) - ANS-1 be a short, specific set of bullet points 2 be easily taught
and remembered 3 define critical risk issues 4 define "go" and "no GO" situations
More that __ ___ of the disoriented firefighter deaths occurred in enclosed structures. -
ANS-3/4
, What are the 11 rules of engagement for structural firefighting - ANS-1 size up your
tactical area of operation 2 determine the occupant survival profile 3 do not risk your life
for lives or property that cannot be saved 4 extend limited risk to protect savable
property 5 extend vigilant and measured risk to protect and rescue savable lives. 6 go in
together, stay together, come out together. 7 maintain continuous awareness of your air
supply, situation, location, and fire conditions 8 Constantly monitor fire ground
communications for critical radio reports 9 you are required to report unsafe practices or
conditions that can harm you. Stop evaluate, and decide 10 you are required to
abandon your position and retreat before deteriorating conditions can harm you 11
declare a mayday as soon as you think you are in danger.
