Its 1314 on a Tuesday.

You are turned out to an AFA showing fire, at a 2 level residential block. The building is of brick, tile and concrete construction. 14 units total, 7 per floor. It has a secure underground car parking compound.

You are in a 34P with a crew of 4, 4xBA Trained.

You have a second brigade 10 minutes away in a 24P with 2x BA on board. They are responding.

You arrive to find no smoke issuing, the FIP showing alarm, west hallway, level 2. There are 9 people outside, having self evacuated upon the alarm activating. They are unable to provide any information about possible occupants. They report a strong smell of burning and light smoke at the end of the 2nd floor western hallway, near unit 14.

There is stair and elevator access to the second floor.

There is a 2in-2out Hydrant booster system for the building. It has internal hose reels, and external pillar hydrants. There is also a Sprinkler booster system for the underground carpark.

What do you do?

If you need any information, post questions and they will be answered.

As per SOP's, upgrading to a 2nd Alarm will get you two more appliances, at least one being BA. It would probably also arouse some interest by your GO.

bittenyakka:
raise to 2nd alarm sent first BA team in to quickly search ground floor for any non evacuated people and get an idea of the layout of the upper story. The moment the 24p arrives or is heard send all BA upstairs team  up stairs. What do they
See?

if conditions haven't changed use 2 38mm to search 2nd floor.

Don't forget... The place isn't fully involved.
