This book establishes a proper firefighting mindset and promotes
maintaining preparedness for the extreme physical and mental
demands of firefighting operations in high-rise and standpipe
equipped buildings. Armed with firefighting weapons that would be
much more appropriate at a car fire, far too many fire departments
are on a collision course with disaster and tragedy, should they
encounter a serious high-rise fire. Countless false alarms, along
with good luck while relying on bad habits, have greatly
exacerbated the deadly disease of complacency. District Chief
McGrail draws from his 25 years of experience, along with the
lessons learned from many other fire service professionals, to
provide a foundation for success and safety during high-rise and
standpipe operations. The words Everyone Comes Home are just words.
The actions necessary to ensure that everyone does come home are
based on a lifelong commitment to excellence, and the consistent
application of good fireground habits. This book is a compilation
of those good habits and the many lessons learned by a man who is
truly passionate about firefighting and firefighter safety and
survival.
Among the many valuable topics covered in this book are:
Standpipe system pressure regulating devices, pressure restricting
devices and pressure reducing valves
Cautious and disciplined elevator use during high-rise
operations
Elevator rescue operations
Proper engine company suppression selection, including techniques
to operate more powerful firefighting weapons with limited
manpower
Air support operations during high-rise emergencies, with or
without an internal resource
