Description

Proposes changes in the way firefighters gain entry, advance hose-lines and approach compartment (room and space) fires within the confinement of a burning building. Discusses issues such as tactical venting of structures and alternative means of alleviating worsening conditions. Encourages a risk-based approach to interior size-up where the concept of personal risk versus gain must be seriously considered. Cf. P. 47.
