Trapped emergency responder’s hopes of survival depend on the following four critical needs.
AWARE Principle:AWARE Principle:
1. Air: RIT should first provide the victim with a redundant (primary & secondary) supply of air.
2. Water: If the rescue involves fire, the next consideration is to provide a defensible space for the victim by using a hose line or distributor to protect the victim.
39
Rapid Intervention Team & Rapid Intervention Team & MAYDAY ProceduresMAYDAY ProceduresRapid Intervention Team & Rapid Intervention Team & MAYDAY ProceduresMAYDAY Procedures
3. A Radio: If the victim is conscious and able to communicate, RIT may want to provide the trapped victim with a transceiver to monitor his condition. Depending upon the size of the incident, a separate radio channel may be designated for the victim to use.
4. Extrication: Removal of the victim.
AWARE Principle:AWARE Principle:
