7.11 LIFE SAVING ROPE RESCUE REQUIRED
The following shall be considered in priority order when the 1st arriving Ladder

utilized in making this determination.
Note: Operating from the roof allows for the LSR rescue operation to be
initiated in conjunction with early ventilation of the roof bulkhead, if
ordered by the IC. It is possible that roof bulkhead ventilation may assist
units in fire floor operations and the recovery of the victim from the
interior.
