FDNY Collapse Rescue Plan: An Overview

摘要

The FDNY Collapse Rescue Plan is based on a proven effective plan of action. FDNY has used this sequence of events for years, with excellent results, in numerous fire and nonfire collapses. It is designed to provide the greatest chance of survival to the greatest number of victims while using the most efficient deployment of personnel. It consists of five separate stages of operations, which should almost always be carried out in order and always under fire department direction, If conditions are present to the degree that an extensive rescue is required, a department signal is transmitted and the collapse plan is implemented.
