Why are we here?
• Upcoming MAYDAY training with CFD• Introduction/Refresher to communications• Tying it all together• Accountability• Incident Command• Initial Engine Company Operations• Fire Behavior• Apparatus Staging• Radio Discipline
![Page 4: September 2012 Fire Training MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/551be200550346af588b5f05/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• 2012 LODD – 52 firefighters total
A firefighters survivability in the hazard zone, is
totally dependent on an effective size-up and managing air supply

October Fire Training• Scenario Based on
Managing the MAYDAY– Air management
techniques– Incident Command
responsibilities – Crew resource
responsibilities
BCFPD-CFD Joint Training

Reasons for Firefighter Deaths and Injuries
• Poor size-up (Primary and Secondary)• Improper tactical decisions• Failure to recognize rapidly deteriorating
conditions– Lightweight building construction– Increased fire load
• Lack of strong Incident Command• Freelancing• Lack of training
![Page 7: September 2012 Fire Training MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/551be200550346af588b5f05/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Changing Fire Conditions
• How will changing fire conditions contribute to a firefighter Mayday situation?
• NIST studies• Underwriters Laboratories– What are these studies telling us?
![Page 8: September 2012 Fire Training MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/551be200550346af588b5f05/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
When are Mayday’s occurring?
• First crew inside the structure– What potential issues does this scenario have?
• Overhaul– What about this scenario?

• At 15:39, Lieutenant Reinhagen began to radio his location and appeal for help
• 15:42 – “You have to hurry, we’re running out of air.”
• Dispatch radioed the Incident Commander (Chief Williams) with no response.
• Over the next 6 minutes, Reinhagen made 10 more calls for help with no answer.
• 15:49 - “Chief, this is Lieutenant Reinhagen. I’m still stuck back in the right rear of the building in the closet. We are out of air in a closet. We’re out of air.”
![Page 12: September 2012 Fire Training MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/551be200550346af588b5f05/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• “What’s your location?” Chief Williams said.• 15:50 - “Stuck in a closet. Out of air”• Chief Williams, “Stuck in a closet?”• 12 seconds later – Chief Williams, “Where are
you?”• Reinhagen, “Help. The right rear. Out of air.
Anybody out there? Stuck in the closet, right rear. No air. Help.”
• 15:52 (last transmission) - “First floor, underneath the collapsed ceiling.”

Hackensack Lessons Learned
• Poor Incident Command Structure• All operations (including dispatch) were
working on one radio frequency• Helped establish Mayday protocols• Dangers of bowstring construction• Air management is crucial

• August 16, 2012• Dispatch– 21:52
• Further Information– Caller just got home and can see smoke and
the door handles are hot to the touch• E401 (Captain Timmermann) arrived on
scene at 22:06 and established command

When to call a Mayday• Becoming trapped or entangled• Cut off by fire• Cut off by collapse• Falling through a floor or roof• Being pinned• SCBA failure in a hazardous environment• Air supply is less than required to exit IDLH atmosphere.• Firefighter down• Becoming lost or disoriented, or losing a member of your crew.• Anytime a PASS device is fully activated and a PAR report
confirms a member unaccounted for.• Structural Collapse during interior firefighting which results in
any of the above circumstances• Any other life threatening condition not listed in the above-
specified conditions.

How to call a Mayday
• Most of us originally learned LUNAR• UCAAN-P–U – Unit Calling–C - Conditions–A – Actions–A – Air –N - Needs–P – Pass (Initiated by the Incident
Commander)
![Page 22: September 2012 Fire Training MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/551be200550346af588b5f05/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
“MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY”
• Once a MAYDAY transmission occurs, there are a number of steps that need to happen.–Hold all radio traffic for the firefighter
MAYDAY–All units on scene maintain radio discipline• Stay OFF the radio – emergency traffic only
![Page 23: September 2012 Fire Training MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/551be200550346af588b5f05/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
MAYDAY Command Responsibilities
• Activate a RIC (On Deck Crew) based on the needs of the firefighter in trouble
• Notification to PSJC–“All call” tones–Dispatch “Mayday Assignment” an
additional engine, tanker, squad, and ambulance
• IC will add additional Command Aides to assist with incident management
![Page 24: September 2012 Fire Training MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/551be200550346af588b5f05/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Command Operations cont.
• PAR check• Do not flood the interior with resources –
send only what is required• Assign Division supervisors to manage units in
the hazard zone• Support firefighting operations
![Page 25: September 2012 Fire Training MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/551be200550346af588b5f05/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Mayday Scenarios
1. Mayday called on the Tactical channel and acknowledged by the IC
2. Mayday called on the tactical channel and not acknowledged by the IC
3. Mayday called on the tactical frequency to the first arriving IC (apparatus operator)
4. Mayday called on the main frequency5. Situation with no radio

Tarver VideoThings that
came from the Bret Tarver
incident

Tarver Lessons Learned
• Phoenix Fire conducted Mayday research over a span of 5 years (2002-2006) – Radio Traffic was overwhelming once a Mayday
was transmitted– Multiple radio channels were ineffective and left
firefighters disconnected from operations– Rescues were being done from the outside/in
rather than inside/out– When incidents are out of balance = more
freelancing
![Page 28: September 2012 Fire Training MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/551be200550346af588b5f05/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
RIT is not Rapid
• Brett Tarver, Phoenix Fire Department – 53 minutes from Mayday call to recovery
• Why is calling an early Mayday important?• Because we are all the same– Aggressive in nature– Hate to lose– Think we can overcome any situation– Don’t want to admit defeat
![Page 29: September 2012 Fire Training MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/551be200550346af588b5f05/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
