Hazards

Fire, CBRNE and special incidents

Recognise danger, create distance and cooperate without exceeding training or protection.

Identify before approaching

Smoke, odour, labels, unusual containers, sudden symptoms or several casualties can indicate a hazardous environment. Stop, create distance and alert specialists.

Do not add casualties

Entering an unknown hazard zone can worsen the incident. Follow command, cordons, evacuation instructions and the required protective level.

Simple fire priorities

Alert, warn and move people from immediate danger when safe. Fight fire only within training and without losing the escape route.

Report early and precisely

State wind direction, visible signs, casualties, approach route and your actions. Avoid speculation and update the report as conditions change.
