Car Fire

Scenario Description: In this scenario trainees are presented with a fully involved car fire outside a petrol/gas station. Trainees need to move around the car extinguishing an often-stubborn fire using a direct aggressive attack. Training outcomes:

● Hose handling techniques ● Discussion on extinguishing medium ● Word-back and situation report training ● Correct water application technique ● Resourcing requirements ● Expected time duration and reporting to command ● Dynamic risk assessment ● What to look for in a 360/size-up ● Car fire attack ● Safe personal approach and the dangers of approaching a large pressurised

tire on fire. ● Approach and extinguishing technique ● Risks due to batteries, fuel cells, gas tanks, gas shocks and magnesium

construction ● Prioritisation of attack ● Exposures due to the proximity of the gas/petrol station ● Possibility of running fuel fire due to petrol/gas leak from plastic tank


Docks

Scenario Description: A fire in a shipping container in a dockside environment. No exposures at risk. Trainee can learn about neutral plane, gas cooling technique. Flashover can occur if gasses are not cooled adequately. Training outcomes:

● Hose handling techniques ● Discussion on extinguishing medium ● Word-back and situation report training ● Correct water application technique - bounce water off container sides ● Resourcing requirements ● Expected time duration and reporting to command ● Dynamic risk assessment ● Neutral plane appreciation ● Creation of gas during gas cooling lowers neutral plane temporarily reducing

visibility ● Flashover and the dangers of superheated gasses


777 Engine Fire

Scenario Description: A 777 Aircraft is stationary on a runway with a fully involved engine fire. The fire can be smothered with the correct application of foam. Training outcomes:

● Hose handling techniques ● Discussion on foam usage, secondary damage, extinguishing medium ● Word-back and situation report training ● Correct smothering technique ● Aircraft approach procedures ● Pilot communications ● Evacuation procedures ● Resourcing requirements ● Expected time duration and reporting to ATC ● Dynamic risk assessment


Grassfire

Scenario Description: A wildfire approaching a machinery shed and house in a rural property (Australian Setting).Fire has random propagation and sometimes progresses quickly and sometimes self-extinguishes. Training outcomes:

● Hose handling techniques ● Discussion on extinguishing medium ● Word-back and situation report training ● Correct water application technique ● Resourcing requirements ● Expected time duration and reporting to command ● Dynamic risk assessment ● Priority of asset protection ● Approach and extinguishing technique ● Prioritisation of attack ● Safe anchor points and protection from radiant heat


Internal Aircraft

Scenario Description: Trainees start in a wide body twin isle aircraft with a small fire somewhere in the economy section. This fire is randomly placed and requires the firefighter to find the seat of the fire and extinguish. Fire spreads rapidly through combustible seats and aircraft carpet producing a thick black smoke and ever decreasing visibility with a neutral plane that lowers in real time. Training outcomes:

● Neutral plane awareness - impeded visibility ● Hose handling techniques ● Discussion on water usage, secondary damage, ventilation, extinguishing

medium ● Word-back and situation report training ● Resourcing requirements ● Expected time duration and reporting to ATC ● Dynamic risk assessment


Kitchen Fire

Scenario Description: A kitchen fire started from a fat fire spread into cabinetry. Smokey environment with the possibility of flashover/fully involved fire. Deep seated fire ideally used to train pencilling techniques and directing stream at the seat of the fire. Training outcomes:

● Hose handling techniques ● Discussion on extinguishing medium ● Word-back and situation report training ● Correct water application technique - pencilling trainer ● Resourcing requirements ● Expected time duration and reporting to command ● Dynamic risk assessment ● Neutral plane appreciation ● Creation of gas during gas cooling lowers neutral plane temporarily reducing

visibility ● Flashover and the dangers of superheated gasses ● Discussion on the isolation of services (gas electricity) ● Dangers of multi-story dwellings - falling roof tiles, basements, construction

techniques


Minetruck

Scenario Description: A tire fire on a large haul truck in an open cut mine. Tire is fully involved. Training outcomes:

● Hose handling techniques ● Discussion on extinguishing medium ● Word-back and situation report training ● Correct water application technique ● Resourcing requirements ● Expected time duration and reporting to command ● Dynamic risk assessment ● What to look for in a 360/size-up ● Truck fire attack ● Safe personal approach and the dangers of approaching a large pressurised

tire on fire. ● Approach and extinguishing technique ● Risks due to batteries, fuel cells, gas tanks, gas shocks and magnesium

construction ● Prioritisation of attack


Petrol Bleve

Scenario Description: LPG gas bullet is impinged by fire and has the potential for BLEVE. If not cooled correctly the tank will/could BLEVE. If the fire is extinguished then the trainee fails due to an uncontrolled gas leak. Training outcomes:

● Priority of asset protection.


Residential Sizeup

Scenario Description: Residential neighbourhood with a car fire in the driveway of a multi-story home. Possibility of fire spread to house. Enables a first on scene crew member to do a 360/size-up of the property, isolating services and determining plan of attack. Less about the car fire and more about potential exposures, risks and planning Training outcomes:

● Hose handling techniques ● Discussion on extinguishing medium ● Word-back and situation report training ● Correct water application technique ● Resourcing requirements ● Expected time duration and reporting to command ● Dynamic risk assessment ● Discussion on the isolation of services (gas electricity) ● Dangers of multi-story dwellings - falling roof tiles, basements, construction

techniques ● Service isolation ● What to look for in a 360/size-up


Tunnel Fire

Scenario Description: Trainees are presented with a 360 video of a ride along towards an underground tunnel. After an initial travel period the crew is presented with a three vehicle accident (nose to tail). A sedan, electric vehicle and fuel tanker are all involved with the fire spreading from the first vehicle towards the tanker. Smoke is thick due to the confines of the tunnel. All three vehicles will ignite if left long enough making it difficult to extinguish. Training outcomes:

• Hose handling techniques • Discussion on extinguishing medium • Word-back and situation report training • Correct water application technique • Resourcing requirements • Expected time duration and reporting to command • Dynamic risk assessment • Discussion on the tunnel evacuation • Ventilation techniques • Service isolation - • damage to tunnel infrastructure • What to look for in a 360/size-up • Car fire attack • Difference in electric vehicle/gas/petrol • Approach and extinguishing technique • Risks due to batteries, fuel cells, gas tanks, gas shocks and magnesium

construction • Prioritisation of attack


Highway

Scenario Description: Crew is presented with a three-vehicle accident (nose to tail). A sedan, electric vehicle and fuel tanker are all involved with the fire spreading from the first vehicle towards the tanker. Smoke is dark and it is windy. All three vehicles will ignite if left long enough making it difficult to extinguish. Training outcomes:

• Hose handling techniques • Discussion on extinguishing medium • Word-back and situation report training • Correct water application technique • Resourcing requirements • Expected time duration and reporting to command • Dynamic risk assessment • What to look for in a 360/size-up • Car fire attack • Difference in electric vehicle/gas/petrol • Approach and extinguishing technique • Risks due to batteries, fuel cells, gas tanks, gas shocks and magnesium

construction • Prioritisation of attack


Ships Corridor Fire

Scenario Description: A fire in the tight confines of a naval ships corridor. Electrical fire in a distribution panel, the scenario will be failed unless the power is isolated in by opening an isolation panel before attacking the fire. A demonstration of procedural training. Training outcomes:

• Hose handling techniques • Discussion on extinguishing medium • Word-back and situation report training • Correct water application technique • Resourcing requirements • Expected time duration and reporting to command • Dynamic risk assessment • What to look for in a 360/size-up • Dangers of electrical attack if not isolated • Approach and extinguishing technique • Prioritisation of attack • Ventilation
