Principles of Structural Firefighting

This document discusses strategies and tactics used in structural firefighting. It describes locating the fire, confining it, extinguishing it, and protecting exposures. Factors like time of day, weather, the fire itself, occupancy, and ventilation are considered in extinguishment. A complete hose layout connects a hose to a water source at one end and a nozzle at the other. Hose appliances deliver water while hose tools are used with hoses. Common tools are universal thread adapters, hose jackets, clamps, straps, ropes, bridges, mallets, and rollers.
