Interpretation
Interior and exterior fire suppression capability for C-5 and above is reduced. Firefighters may be able to control exterior fires but total extinguishment should not be expected; sufficient capability is provided for initial response, scene assessment and implementation of mitigation tactics. This reduced level of service increases risk and loss potential due to lack of ERC to perform rescue and mitigation simultaneously.
Message
REDUCED LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR C-5 AND ABOVE INTERIOR/EXTERIOR FIRE SUPPRESSION CAPABILITY IS REDUCED. FIREFIGHTERS MAY STILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN CONTROLLING EXTERIOR FIRES. TOTAL EXTINGUISHMENT SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED. SUFFICIENT CAPABILITY IS PROVIDED FOR INITIAL RESPONSE, SCENE ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF MITIGATION TACTICS. THIS LEVEL OF SERVICE REPRESENTS INCREASED RISK/LOSS POTENTIAL DUE TO LACK OF ERC TO PERFORM RESCUE AND SUFFICIENT MITIGATION TACTICS SIMULTANEOUSLY.
