Part 1: Vegetation fire threatening building (if no open water source available, have spare brigade members construct a portable dam on arrival)
Crew IC to carry out size up (360/Interview/Hazard Assessment)
With a crew of 5 or 6 from appliance establish 2 forestry deliveries to suppress reasonable fire
With a crew of 4 from appliance establish 1 forestry deliveries to suppress reasonable fire
Time #1 at crew showing water from deliveries
Part 2: Tanker crew
Tanker to supply water to appliance
Time #2 when appliance tank refilled from tanker
Part 3: Available Tanker and Appliance crew Supply Tanker from open water source using portable pump.
Time #3 when water supply to tanker is established -

Safety and General
-
Thinking of each part of the fire triangle, explain how you can extinguish a fire.<br>a) HEAT - Remove by cooling with water.<br>b) OXYGEN (Air) - Smother with soil or foam.<br>c) FUEL - Remove fuel from path of fire to create fire breaks.
-
Give three (3) parts of the fire environment that influence the spread of a vegetation fire. a) Fuel<br>b) Weather<br>c) Topography
-
Give ways you would normally communicate between positions on the fire ground. Verbal or written messages<br> Portable radio<br> Runner<br> Hand signals<br> Eye contact

What are the 4 stages of fire extinguishment. Knockdown - Reducing fire intensity<br>Containment - Fire is maintained inside a perimeter<br>Control - Fire has been stopped from spreading and blackened out area is being widened<br>Mop up - All burning fuels are out and no possibility of re-ignition
-
Provide a brief description of each of the following parts of a fire. <br>Head – The front of the fire. This is where the fire is at its most intense and dangerous.<br>Area of origin – Where the fire starts. The area should be protected to help find the cause of the fire. You should avoid working there if you can.<br>Flanks – The outside edges of the fire. Low intensity.<br>Base – This is at the back of the fire. It is the least intense part of the fire.<br>Finger – Narrow slivers of fire that extend beyond the head or flanks.<br>Spot fire – New fires that start ahead of the main fire. Often started by embers.
