The Truck Crew | Flat Roof Vent 1

Part one of two (starts around the 1:00 mark). Great points to think about while operating on a flat roof.

What are some things your company / department do differently while operating on these types of roofs?

What are some of the basic tools that you bring with you?

Are you even able to complete a flat roof cut with the manpower you have?

Part two to follow...

Welcome to FireTactics.net!

Thank you for visiting FireTactics.net!

This site is a place to get fire department members thinking about the “what ifs?” presented in each posting. What would your actions be while assigned to an Engine, Truck, or Rescue Company? Are you responding on or arriving as the first due EMS unit? As you know, there are many ways to interpret every scenario or topic posted.

Working here in the Fairfax County Fire Department (Va), firefighters and officers may be assigned to various riding assignments during a single tour. Some see this as a good thing, while others do not. Either way, this requires members to learn the various fireground actions required on a range of response equipment/positions. Comment on the posts from the perspectives of the chauffeur, firefighter, line officer, or even a chief.

The purpose of this site is to simply create dialogue between the members of your shift/station as you review these events, pictures, and videos. Any of the incidents or topics we review on this site can happen anywhere, at any time, especially here in the Fairfax County/Washington DC metro area. So think about it...

We more than welcome your feedback, and encourage you to post comments to get the discussions started. Would you like to contribute a post? Please email your ideas to Ron Kuley (Fairfax County Fire) or Keith Bresnahan (Fairfax County Fire).
