What are 4 examples of sectors we divide our incidents into
Divisions/Groups/Strike teams/ Task Force
200
- Materials: The walls are made from non-combustible tilt-slab or reinforced masonry, while their wooden roofs are flammable.
- Strengths: With a combination of non-combustible masonry and fire-cut joists, exterior walls can stand even if the floors collapse.
- Weaknesses: Many buildings of this type have connected attics or horizontal void spaces, enabling flames to spread unless fire stops are installed.
Type III

BLS Care for Smoke Inhalation

- Unprotected metal components make this construction type prone to early collapse.
- Combustible products used for built-up roof materials (insulation foam, asphalt water proofing, felt paper, rubber) may be highly flammable and can lead to a separate fire above and below the roof (metal roof deck fire), which can self-sustain and spread due to generated heat and flammable vapors from these highly combustible materials.
- Ceiling void can allow a significant volume of heated gases to collect in the overhead, which can drop down rapidly, leading to a trigger event (flashover, backdraft) on the introduction of sufficient air.
- Failure to cool the ceiling area early will allow heat to weaken unprotected steel, prompting potential failure and collapse, as well as contribute to a metal roof deck fire and trigger events.

Modern _____(Type __) structural members are often engineered by using laminated lumber. These members can fail much faster as the laminate glues that hold them together can degrade and vaporize under heat conditions.

HCN poisoning

- Wood will burn.
- Older buildings may have dry rot, water damage, or damage from wood-boring insects.
- Void spaces are common, and in balloon-frame can be extensive.
- Renovations are commonplace in older structures.
- Vertical voids begin in basements and can lead to significant vertical fire spread to the attic.
