RECEO VS
Rescue, exposure, confinement, extinguishment, overhaul, ventilation, salvage
4 fire growth stages
incipient stage, growth stage, fully developed stage and the decay stage

Backdraft
Ordinary construction
Smoke is potential _____
fuel
Blitz Attack
Growth Stage
Objects within a space have been heated to their ignition temperature and simultaneous ignition of all surfaces and objects in the space occurs
Flashover
Fire-resistive
1
Smoke ___ & ____ together are an indicator of the flammability
density and color
This type of attack involves taking direct action to mitigate the problem, life hazard exists or the fire can be stopped without total destruction of the structure.
Offensive Attack
This stage begins when heat, oxygen, and fuel combine and have a chemical reaction resulting in fire
Incipient Stage
When flames present in layers of smoke as a result of heated gases that are pushed under pressure from the fire area into uninvolved areas
Rollover
Heavy timber
4
____ & ____ are indicators of heat and flow path
velocity (speed) and pressure
This attack is a change in strategy from either offensive to defensive or vice versa.
Transitional Attack
Decay Stage
A coordinated and specific relocation of units and their equipment operating from an area deemed untenable to a specific area deemed safe to continue operations.
Tactical Withdrawal
Non-combustible
3
_____ is an indicator of fire intensity
The objective of this type of attack is to stop fire from spreading to exposures that are savable rather than losing the entire block.
Defensive Attack
Stage in which the entire room and contents are involved in fire
Fully developed stage
This is announced when conditions dictate the immediate evacuation of all personnel from an unsafe structure, or other dangerous area.
Emergency Evacuation
Wood frame (light weight)
5
