Oh no! Domestic fire!
You and your other local brigade are turned out. Your brigade is about 5 minutes from the location, 2nd brigade is about 10-15 minutes.
En Route, comms reports multiple calls.
You have a 34P, they have a 34. Its just after lunch, luckily you manage a crew of 5, the oncoming brigade have 4.
Your 34 has 4 BA and 3 operators. Oncoming: 2 sets and atleast 1, maybe 2 operators.
Upon arrival you are greeted with the attached picture. (Minus the fireman and the snow :wink: )
Neighbours inform you that they believe there was someone in the house earlier in the day, but they are unsure if they are still inside.
There are mains along the street, usually around 400kpa, the hydrant is around 100m away from this house.
You know the drill, Discuss:
(Thanks CapeCod FD for the pic)

I would have a third brigade rolling...how far away are they?
Everybody on the 34P...youve got 3000L to use before ya even need to rely on the Hydrant, Plenty for that fire.
1 person gets a hose reel, externally attacks the seat of the fire Until the BA crew is ready to go in.
1 person, in charge of isolating power, etc...creating a safeworking environment (other than the fire ;))
OIC will be the ECO...until the next appliance arrives.
Two Crew in BA, 38mm line (two lengths), then begin attacking the seat of the fire... and approach it as it becomes extinguished...the single other BA operator will then wait for the next appliance to arrive and supply another BA operator...to be BA Backup.
Ill let somebody else critise and continue on the decision making ;)
Zippy:
actually, straight after extinguishing a lot of the visible active fire..i would crack the windows...as there would be a lot of residing steam being released into the house. This could make conditions for a possible trapped occupant hazardous, ventilate it from the Rear.

Are you sinking a hydrant? Or just relying on the 3000L tank?
You're attacking the seat of the fire, you have spare crew, what about S&R?
Whats happening with fire spread through the house? Is it confined to the entrance?
