Synopsis

Completing a full scene assessment upon arrival at an incident can significantly lower the overall risks, as well as allowing for a more effective response. The ability to 'read' a fire is crucial - to determine what stage a fire is it, to establish how various factors might promote or limit its growth, and - most importantly - to identify the risks it presents to those firefighters who must enter a burning building to fight it.

Reading Fire supports frontline practitioners in gathering information upon arrival at an incident, using the 'BE-SAHF' model of assessment. Taking a step-by-step approach, it considers each critical area of the model, from building, construction and environmental factors, to understanding and reading smoke, airflow, heat and flames. It explores each of these areas in depth, and considers the evidence that needs to be analysed in order to formulate an effective tactical plan.
