2. Case study: Fire in roof attic, apartment building Contains the description of fire development, tactics during the operation Choice of methods and effects of intervention Tactics and methodology based on critical factors in the fire area

3. Case study: Fire in roof attic, apartment building Incident commander decision support and methods are: TIC outside scanning PPV ventilation Cobra by aerial unit or fire truck BA-attack

4. Call to112 Time 22:40, initial information: Smoke coming out from apartment building Some smoke even out in the staircase, reason unknown People will try to meet fire service outside

5. Responding units 22:45 Confirming out: Incident commander Fire truck 1 and 2 Aerial unit 22:48Call to incident commander from 112 Now even smoke out in the staircase 22:51 First unit arriving on the scene Incident commander

12. Objectives on the scene Building with 4 floors and a total of 14 apartments Fire gas/smoke out in the staircase Smoke seen from the street outside People hanging out from a window Fire gas spreading in the attic Risk of ignition of attic fire gases Unknown starting point of the fire Evening, dark outside

13. Risk assessment Lifesaving operation? Evacuating the building? Rapid spreading of fire gases down into staircase. Risk during intervention inside. Unknown fire behavior at the time. Unknown origin of fire. Fire gases spreading in the attic. Risk of ignition of attic fire gases.

14. Priorities Lifesaving of 2 person hanging out from the window Secure the staircase from smoke/fire gas Consider evacuate occupants Locate the origin of the fire

15. Methodology and intervention Outside lifesaving with the aerial unit Ventilate staircase with PPV-fan Secure staircase with PPV-fan Locate origin of fire with TIC-scanning and visual look Risk assessment based tactic/methodology use Control expanding fire behavior with cobra attack Outside priorities of the first cobra/aerial unit attack
