Abstract

In order to investigate various tactical patterns, 44 tests were performed in a residential type, multi-room fire fighter training facility. The purpose of the tests was to verify basic tactical principles, to verify the methodology of analysis, and to retrieve data for future work. The test procedures included manual fire fighting using various suppression techniques, positive pressure ventilation and various openings for ventilation. Ten wooden pallets were used in each test. The tests confirmed a set of basic tactical principles, including the principle that the outcome of a fire fighting operation depends on individual procedures as well as choice of procedures and their sequence of implementation, i.e., the tactical pattern. In addition, the choice of tactical pattern depends on the situation as well as on the objectives of the fire fighting operation. Also, some tactical patterns may have an inherent indulgence towards defective or inappropriate procedures. Defective or inappropriate procedures or tactical patterns can be corrected during a fire fighting operation. It was confirmed that the processing and treatment of data used formed a valuable method for the investigation of fire fighting operations.
