Center Hallway and Highrise

Objective:

Maintain control of center hallway to provide a significant tactical advantage.

Minimize smoke and heat in the center hallway to:

• Better support sheltering in place
• Expedite victim evacuation and minimize exposure to victims
• Minimize damage to the building

Tactic:

• Connect the AttackPack to an 1¾ in. feeder line from the standpipe on the floor below the fire.
• Advance the AttackPack to the fire floor and stretch the two structural 1 in. lines.
• Place a SmokeStopper on the door of the involved compartment.
• Pierce the wall / door using a HammerSpike or halligan.
• Place spike as high in the compartment as possible.
• Flow water and utilize thermal imaging to look for knock-down.
• Water application will reduce temperatures and will contract superheated gasses enabling access to the compartment while minimizing the impact on the center hallway.

Tool Configuration:

• Standard length AttackSpike™ with Shield Tip
• Standard length AttackSpike™ with Attack Tip when a long reach is required
