"High heat, low visibility, can’t find the fire"

A red flag that requires early identification + proper tactics High heat, low visibility, can’t find the fire - hearing this radio transmission should be a red flag for anyone on the fireground and is often a precursor to a bad situation if not recognized and acted upon. This is a common transmission heard at both basement fires and knee wall fires. All members must maintain situational awareness as they approach the building, noting features that may indicate the presence of either a knee wall or basement fire type. The video above talks about fires in knee walls, with specific tactical considerations including: · How to tell a fire is in the knee wall space - signs from the exterior · Important flow path considerations for avoiding a treacherous situation when opening up · Ventilation considerations - when and why to ventilate below the roofline · Preparing for limited egress Plus, classic problems and failures to avoid- as seen in a real scenario at the 12:30 mark in a house fire with low visibility and limited egress. The tactics in this video are just some of what we'll cover next Wednesday night in a live webinar dedicated to preparing for, identifying, and combating knee wall fires.
