4.After verifying the building and seeing fire location, the Commander radios firefighting team. As he calls, he continues observation:
–Checks layouts of other floors and the roof (as shown in the example in Figure 5.2) to be sure the fire is contained on only those levels.
–Checks which detector(s) is activated. If multiple detectors are activated he can determine the progression of the fire by interpreting the blinking rate of the detectors and base his assessment of the situation on that displayed information.
–Checks for presence of hazardous materials near the fire on its respective floor. (as shown in the example in Figure 5.3)
–Checks for the location of elevators, stairways, water supplies, and entry and exit
routes.
Note: Notice the Caution on this background. It was added when the background was developed in the graphics software application. It was not added with the Annotation because an Annotation can only be added to a Building Site Plan.
