Definition & Operational Usage
The Fire Attack Sequence refers to the systematic approach employed by firefighters to effectively suppress a fire, encompassing critical actions such as size-up, hose line deployment, nozzle application, and coordination with ventilation and search operations. Not to be confused with general firefighting tactics, this sequence is integral to the Incident Command System (ICS) and aligns with National Incident Management System (NIMS) protocols. It is essential for ensuring that all personnel are synchronized in their efforts to mitigate fire hazards and protect lives.
