Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Report: Career Probationary Fire Fighter Runs Out of Air and Dies in Commercial Structure Fire - Michigan, FACE-F2013-14.

摘要

On May 8, 2013, a 29-year-old male career probationary fire fighter died after running out of air and being trapped by a roof collapse in a commercial strip mall fire. The fire fighter was one of three fire fighters who had stretched a 1 1/2-inch hose-line from Side A into a commercial strip mall fire. The hose team had stretched deep into the structure under high heat and heavy smoke conditions and was unsuccessful in locating the seat of the fire. The hose team decided to exit the structure. During the exit, the fire fighter became separated from the other two crew members. The incident commander saw the two members of the hose team exit on Side A and called over the radio for the fire fighter. The fire fighter acknowledged the incident commander and gave his location in the rear of the structure. The fire fighter later gave a radio transmission that he was out of air. A rapid intervention team was activated but was unable to locate him before a flash-over occurred and the roof collapsed. He was later recovered and pronounced dead on the scene.
