The Interior Team

摘要

A properly trained and equipped two-person interior team of a truck company can perform multiple fireground tasks that aid in life safety, incident stabilization, and properly conservation. The tasks include forcible entry, search and rescue, ventilation, overhaul, salvage, and utility control. These tasks are completed with life safety as the first priority. That is why it is so critical for a ladder or "truck" company to respond as part of the initial assignment. If a ladder company is not available, then an engine company with proper training and a basic complement of tools must respond to fill these roles. These supporting roles enhance safety and effectiveness for all department members as well as any civilians awaiting rescue.
