R&R, SOP, SAP, SOG Part 2 Flashcards
(311 cards)
SOG 407 High Rise :
Enter the lobby and take the following actions - (8)
- Obtain information from the building management/security regarding the known extent of the emergency
- Obtain fire alarm control panel history if actively alarming
- Obtain building plans and the fire control plan (if available)
- Obtain fire phones (if available)
- Obtain master keys to rooms, stairwell doors, elevators, windows, etc. (if available) Have electric locks deactivated by Building Representative if applicable
- Determine initial means of ascent
- Form fire attack teams with minimum of 5 engine company personnel, one of which is an OIC
SOG 407 High Rise :
First due engineer proceeds where?
What is title of this position?
What do they do?
- Fire alarm panel and remain there
- “Panel Control”
- Monitor the fire alarm panel and it’s emergency communication system which include Fire Phones and Intercom System
SOG 407 High Rise :
When will stairs be used for initial ascent?
If reported location of fire is BELOW the 7th floor
SOG 407 High Rise :
In the event of radio malfunction, who is responsible for relaying all communications between the fire attack teams and Command, via fire phones if available?
Panel control
SOG 407 High Rise :
“Attack One” Operational Priority -
- Ensure the first engineer is in designated location (panel control) and engaged
- Ensure that fire phones and master keys have been secured (if available)
- Advance to the landing two floors below the reported fire location. Periodically check the conditions on lower floors as ascending
- Upon arrival at the reported fire floor, report conditions, actions, needs. In case of radio malfunction, fire phones must be used. Communications are mandatory for safety
- All efforts should be directed around placing the first hose line in service for fire suppression
- In the event that one of the initial ladder companies located the fire in advance of initial fire attack team, follow their lead. This may involve crossing over to the opposite stairwell while on a lower floor or requesting that Command send a 2nd attack team to ascend the opposite stairwell. This could result in using a much closer standpipe outlet and a shorter stretch. Coordination is key. Never push a fire down a hallway towards an unprotected ladder company.
SOG 407 High Rise :
Where is the mandatory brief stop?
What should you do?
- The landing two floors below the reported fire
- Survey the floor plan and take note of the standpipe valve type. Also, determine the feasibility of this location being used as a “Forward Staging Area”
SOG 407 High Rise :
Where is RIT?
One floor below fire floor
SOG 407 High Rise :
Where is IC Aide ?
Forward Staging Officer ?
Exterior Staging Officer ?
- Command post
- 2 floors below fire
- Level II staging
SOG 407 High Rise :
RAT will also coordinate with what teams?
Fire attack and ventilation teams (opening, closing doors, roof, etc.)
SOG 407 High Rise :
Rescue chief must ensure a reserve of what, based on occupancy type?
Stair chairs and bariatric blankets
SOG 407 High Rise :
If elevators are used in any capacity other than the initial ascent, they shall have a FF operator assigned and be in what mode?
What tools will the FF have?
Who will the FF operator coordinate transport of personnel and equipment with?
- Fire Service Mode
- SCBA, radio, set of irons
- “Lobby Control” and “Forward Staging”
SOG 407 High Rise :
Secondary priorities - (5)
- Rehab
- Utilities
- Secondary search
- Salvage
- Logistical support
SOG 407 High Rise :
Where is rehab located?
If Fire is located on an upper floor, the rehab will be two floors below if practical
SOG 407 High Rise :
Utilities - (5)
- Electric
- Gas
- Back-up power supply
- Mechanical rooms
- Fire sprinkler systems
SOG 407 High Rise :
What should be considered if elevator use is not available and Forward Staging is above the 7th floor?
Who creates this group?
- Stairway Support Group
* Lobby Control
SOG 407 High Rise :
Phase I mode may be activated in three
(3) ways :
- Fire Alarm System automatically by smoke
- Fire Alarm System automatically by heat sensors
- Firefighters (manually) using the Key switches on the call station
SOG 407 High Rise :
Where is fire service key switch located?
Located on the fire recall floor (Lobby wall)
SOG 407 High Rise :
All buildings of how many stories are required to be keyed the same, required by who?
All buildings, seven (7) stories or more, are required to be keyed the same by the State of Florida
SOG 407 High Rise :
Three positions of Phase II key switch
- Off
- On (illuminates a solid red fire helmet)
- Hold
SOG 407 High Rise :
When would turning the key off to put the car back into Phase I mode be beneficial?
During initial operations
SOG 407 High Rise :
If a building has lost power due to a fire or any other reason, the elevators may not work. If the building has a backup power supply generator or other) there may be limited power available to operate the elevators. What is this situation referred to as being?
Emergency Power Operations
SOG 407 High Rise :
Standpipe and Sprinkler Operations
Three points from the manual that need to be emphasized :
- When connecting to an FDC, the FF can connect to one side only and charge it prior to the second line being charged, saving valuable time. If a high rise buildings internal fire pump is not working properly, FFs on upper floors will not have adequate pressure. Speed is of essence in this situation
- JFRD PDPs are initial operating guidelines only. These calculations will need to be adjusted based on circumstances such as building height, Fire location, hose diameter, and nozzle requirements
- While connected to the FDC in pump gear, don’t forget to circulate water (recirculating valve of other means) This is to prevent overheating in the pump in the event that there is nothing flowing in the building
SOG 407 High Rise :
Other options for high rise water supply?
Improvised standpipe (Ladder Truck) or exterior hoisting with a rope bag
SOG 407 High Rise :
Only exception to having a FF act as remote pump operator?
First attack team engaged in small confined fire
