Officers should attempt to gain as much situational awareness as possible (360 degree size up)
Always communicate and coordinate your tactical intent on the radio channel to all companies prior to employing this tactic
Lafd personnel shall not be inside the structure at time of application
Only apply water into windows or doors that have fire showing or volatile smoke indicators of imminent flashover
Do not employ if window pane is still intact
Transitional attack streams shall only flow water until a change in conditions are see, bulk of fire knocked down
critical on scene observation must be thoroughly assessed
TB#164 Following the termination of exterior water application, what must be in place:
Attack team must be ready to immediately engage interior fire attack following the termination of exterior water applications
TB#164 Transitional attack is simply an additional tactical option for the first arriving officers to consider when:
