| Alarm cause |
Fire from the social administration´s premises. |
| Effect |
The cutting extinguisher was an effective tool in the operation. |
| Situation by arrival |
Exterior and interior fire at the arrival, heavy smoke in and around the entire building. |
| Tactics |
Interior and exterior fire fighting, pressure ventilation. |
| Method |
The action is immediately interior firefighting with the cutting extinguisher and exterior firefighting with help of height vehicles. Indoor firefighters with BA equipment are sent in after a while. Additional forces are deployed in adjacent fire affected buildings for firefighting and ventilation. This turns out to be a good tactical choice. |
| Summary |
The action went better than expected. We started the fire extinguishing immediately using the cutting extinguisher and it turned out to be very effective. I would say that, of course in combination with other units operations, the successful operation is a result of early use of the cutting extinguisher. It was crucial in this action. |
