Fire Attack Training Considerations Capt Kiger

This document discusses fire attack safety considerations from a house fire incident in Loudoun County, Virginia. It highlights how a thermal imaging camera allowed firefighters to identify a hole in the floor and compromised structural elements, avoiding potential injury. The summary provides everyday techniques for firefighters to identify floor hazards without a thermal camera, including using hoselines and tools to find drops or holes before stepping. Firefighters are advised to spread out on hoselines, position nozzles in front, and face hoselines when backing up to maintain visibility and control. The goal is for all firefighters to return home safely.
