SECTION 400 | INVESTIGATIONS |
RESPONDING TO A FIRE
HAZ-MAT PROCEDURES
Date:
| July 1991 |
100.1: | The effective functioning of Pima Fire Department units and personnel at operating incidents requires clear, decisive action on the part of the Incident Commander. This procedure identifies the Standard Operating Procedures to be employed in establishing command and operating a command post. |
100.2: | The Incident Commander is responsible for the Command function at all times. |
100.3: | Command Procedures are designed to accomplish the following:
|
100.4: | Responsibilities assigned to Command include the following specific outcomes:
|
101: | Establishing Command |
101.1: | The first Pima Fire Department Unit or officer to arrive at the scene of an incident shall assume command and remain in command until relieved by a higher ranking officer or until the incident is terminated. |
101.2: | Initial Report The person assuming Command shall transmit a brief initial radio report including: |
Unit identification on the scene and confirming assumption of Command. | |
101.3: | Radio Designation |
101.3.1: | The radio designation “COMMAND” will be used. | |
102: | Command Responsibilities. | |
102.1: | Command is responsible for the following tasks as required by the circumstances of the situation; within sound judgment. | |
102.2: | INITIAL
| |
102.3: | The continuing responsibilities stay with Command whether the initial officer remains in Command or if Command is transferred to subsequent arriving officers. | |
103: | Command Options | |
103.1: | Nothing Showing Mode These situations generally require investigation by the first arriving engine, secondary engines and Rescue vehicles are held in readiness while the officer goes with Engine 1 to investigate, while using the portable radio to continue Command. | |
103.2: | Fast Attack Mode Situations which require immediate action to stabilize the situation, such as interior fires in residences, apartment buildings, or small commercial occupancies, require the officer to quickly decide how to commit the company. Where the fast interior attack is critical, Command can take advantage of the portable radio to permit the necessary involvement in the attack without neglecting Command responsibilities. This mode should not last more than a few moments and will end with one of the following:
| |
103.3: | Command Mode Situations that require principal Command, by virtue of the size of the fire, the complexity/potential of the occupancy, or the possibility of extension. Such cases require strong, direct overall Command from the Outset. In such cases, the officer will initially assume a Command position and maintain that position until relived by a ranking Officer. | |
103.4: | The Officer being relieved will brief the officer assuming Command and indicate the following:
| |
103.5: | Command officers should eliminate all unnecessary radio traffic while responding, unless communications are required to assure that Command functions are initiated and completed. | |
103.6: | The arrival of a ranking officer on the fireground does NOT mean that command has been transferred to that ranking officer. Command is transferred only when the outlined communication functions have been completed. | |
103.7: | The response and arrival of ranking officers on the fireground strengthens the overall Command function. All officers will exercise their Command prerogatives in a supportive manner that will assure a smooth transition and the effective on-going function of Command. | |
103.8: | The officer relieved of Command will be utilized to the best advantage by the officer assuming command. | |
103.9: | In cases where Command is effectively handling a tactical situation and is completely aware of the location and function of operating companies, as well as the general status of the situation, it may be desirable for that officer to continue in an active Command role. In these cases, the ranking officer may assume a supportive role in the overall Command function. Command will be considered transferred within this context by virtue of the ranking officer being involved in the Command process. |
104: | Command Structures |
104.1: | It will be the responsibility of Command to develop an organizational structure utilizing standard operating procedures as soon as possible after arrival and implementation of initial tactical control measures. The size and complexity of the organizational structure will be determined by the dimensions of the tactical situation. |

301.2: | Full Protective Clothing shall be defined as:
|
301.3: | Full protective clothing shall be worn by firefighting personnel while responding to all fire alarms. This is optional for the driver. |
301.4: | Full protective clothing shall be worn at all times when operating on the fireground. |
301.5: | The use of turnout coats during overhaul will be at the discretion of each officer. |
301.6: | Full protective clothing shall be worn when operating forcible entry |
equipment and tools, such as EMS incidents on the street. | |

| other situation where injuries to the hand are likely to occur. |
301.9: In specific situations for which no guidelines have been provided, the proper protective clothing to protect against all reasonably foreseeable hazards shall be worn.
302: Fireground Safety
302.1: TACTICAL POSITIONING
302.1.1: Positioning of operating companies can severely affect their safety and survival. Personnel must use caution when placed in the following positions:
302.1.2: The safety of firefighting personnel represents the major reason for an effective and well-timed offensive/defensive decision and the associate write-off by Command.
When the rescue of saveable victims has been completed, Command must ask the question, “Is the risk to my personnel worth the property I can save?”
302.1.3: DEFFENSIVE FIREFIGHTING
When operating in a defensive mode, your operating position should be as far from the involved area as possible and still maintain effective operations.
Position and operate from behind barriers, if available.
The intent is for personnel to utilize safe positioning where possible and/or available, in an effort to safeguard against sudden hazardous developments, such as a backdraft explosion, structural collapse, etc.
302.1.4: OFFENSIVE FIRE ATTACK
When operating in an offensive mode, be aggressively offensive. Effective interior attack operations directed toward knocking down the fire eliminates most eventual safety problems.
302.1.5: When laddering a roof, the ladder selected shall be one which will extend 2’ to 3’ above the roof line. This shall be done in an effort to provide personnel operating from the roof with a visible means of an exit.
302.1.6: When laddering buildings under fire conditions, place ladders near building corners or fire walls, if possible. These areas are generally more stable in the event of structural failure.
302.1.7: When operating above or below ground level, establish at least two separate escape routes whenever possible. Such exits shall be at opposite ends of the building, if possible. Such exits shall be separated by considerable distance, if possible. Exits may consist of stairways, if protected, or ladders.
ALL OTHER PERSONNEL ARE TO STAY OUTSIDE UNTIL ASSIGNED TO WORK BY COMMAND.
302.4EVACUATION
302.4.1: If any firefighter sees a dangerous situation he shall let an officer know immediately. Interior firefighting operations should be abandoned when the extent of the fire prohibits or the structure becomes unsafe to operate within. When such conditions become untenable…EVACUATE, regroup, recommunicate, and redeploy.
302.4.2: The primary concern of the Pima Fire Department when a hazard which may affect the safety of fire personnel becomes apparent is the welfare of those personnel. In an effort to protect personnel which may suffer the
adverse effects of such hazards, such as structural collapse, explosion, backdraft, etc. a structured method of area evacuation will be utilized. This method will provide for the rapid and effective notification of those personnel involved. It will also permit accurate accounting for those same personnel.
302.4.3: The method of evacuation selected will vary, depending on the following circumstances:
302.4.4: Officers shall account for all evacuated crews as soon as possible. When all personnel are accounted for, the evacuation process is complete.
302.4.5: Structures of other than fire resistive/heavy timber construction are not designated to withstand the effects of fire. They can be expected to fail after twenty minutes of heavy fire involvement. If, after ten to fifteen minutes of inter operations, heavy fire conditions still exist, Command should initiate a careful evaluation of structural conditions. Command should be fully prepared to withdraw interior crews and resort to a defensive position.
302.5SEARCH AND RESCUE
302.5.1: Search and Rescue should be performed according to an efficient, well planned procedure which has included the safety of search crew personnel.
302.5.2: The object of the search effort is to locate possible victims, not create additional victims by neglecting the safety of the Search Crew.
302.5.3: Prior to entering the search area, all search team members should be familiar with a specific search plan. Such familiarization shall include:
303: | VEHICLE OPERATIONS | |
303.1: | When responding to the fire station, all personnel are encouraged to use their safety restraints. You are responsible for your own actions while responding to an Emergency call. Use good, common sense during response. | |
303.2: | When responding to emergency calls under lights and siren, Pima Fire Department vehicles may exceed the posted speed limits but shall be regulated at all times by existing road and traffic conditions. At no time may a Pima Fire Department vehicle exceed the reasonable speed limit by more than 10 miles per hour under any conditions. | |
303.3: | Under wet, icy, foggy, or any other hazardous weather or road conditions, PFD vehicles should react carefully to the conditions encountered. In no case under these conditions shall vehicles exceed the posted speed limit. | |
303.4: | When approaching a red light on a traffic signal or stop sign during an emergency response, all PFD vehicles shall:
| |
303.5 | Avoid backing where possible. Where it isn’t possible to avoid backing, use guides. If guides are not available, dismount and walk completely around the apparatus before backing. | |
303.6: | During an emergency response, PFD vehicles must avoid passing other emergency vehicles also responding on the call, Code 3. If it cannot be avoided, passing arrangements must be conducted through conversing on the unit radio. | |
303.7: | The unique hazards of driving on or adjacent to the fireground require the driver to use extreme caution and alertness. The driver shall use a prudent speed for the conditions encountered so that the unexpected event will not result in a collision. | |
303.8: | When driving apparatus on the fireground, drivers must resist the tendency to drive hastily or imprudently. This tendency is mostly due to the urgent nature of fireground operations. | |
303.9: | Drivers must consider the danger their moving vehicle poses to fireground personnel who may be preoccupied with the emergency and inadvertently step in front of or behind a moving vehicle. | |
303.10: | Drivers must also be aware of the potential that exists for vehicle accidents on or near the fireground due to the distractions that are caused by the emergency. | |

Where Cs = A surcharge for wastewater said excessive strength.
Bc = O&M cost for treatment of a unit of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).
B = concentration of BOD from a user above a base level.
