Reading Fire: A Complete Scene Assessment Guide for Practitioners at All Levels
This practical guide supports frontline practitioners in gathering information upon arrival at an incident, using the 'BE-SAHF' model of assessment. By following a step-by-step approach, users can assess critical areas such as building and construction factors, smoke detection, airflow, heat, and flames.
By exploring these areas in depth and considering the evidence needed to formulate an effective tactical plan, Reading Fire helps practitioners make informed decisions at incident scenes, ultimately lowering overall risks and improving response effectiveness.
