Title: Use of Respirators - Procedures for Interior Structural Firefighting
Type: Text Slide
Content:
In addition to the procedures for respirator use in IDLH atmospheres, in interior structural fires:
- At least two employees must enter and remain in visual or voice contact with one another at
all times
- At least two employees must be located outside
- All employees engaged in interior structural firefighting must use SCBAs
- One employee located outside may be assigned an additional role (e.g., incident commander), so
long as this doesn’t interfere with their assistance or rescue activities
- This standard does not preclude firefighters from performing emergency rescue before an entire
team has assembled
