| Fireground Operations: The First Company on scene informs Fire Alarm that they are off, and in command. If the Engine and Ladder arrive at the same time, the Officer of the Engine Company assumes Command of the incident until the District Chief or Deputy Chief arrives. The First arriving Engine Company takes the front of the building and attacks the fire with a pre-connect attack line. The First arriving Ladder Company also takes the front and throws it's stick to the roof, and begins the interior search. The Second arriving Engine Company will run the Large Diameter Hose from the First Engine to the closest hydrant, and then join in the interior attack. The District Chief will assess the situation on arrival, report to Fire Alarm, and direct incoming companies via radio where to position. |
