FirefightersCoordinate an interior attack: A fire at grade level (restaurant, day)
A fire at grade level. The building is a restaurant. It happens during the day. With attack lines, personnel, protective gear and tools, you coordinate an interior attack line so a team completes its assignment in a structure fire: the crew stays together, the attack technique fits the level of the fire and is told to the attack teams, the fire is watched as it grows, search, rescue and ventilation are coordinated, hazards are reported and incident command hears about changing conditions. It is station 5-4 of Ohio's Firefighter II practical exam (NFPA 1001 5.3.2).
