Skill Sheet 17-I-1 Objective 21: Suppress an interior structure fire Direct, indirect, or combination attack. (NFPA 1001, 5.3.10, 5.3.13) Student Name: Date: Directions For this skills evaluation checklist, a team of firefighters, while wearing full PPE and SCBA, will suppress an interior structure fire using direct, indirect, and combination attack methods. Inform students of their positions for this evaluation. A safety officer should check each student s gear before the student proceeds with the training evolution. Ensure firefighter safety at all times during this training evolution. Before proceeding with live fire training evolutions, read and adhere to NFPA 1403, Standard on Live Fire Training Evolutions. Have students repeat this exercise, rotating the hoseline duties so that each student has a chance to perform on the nozzle. Equipment & Materials Appropriate PPE and SCBA Ventilation tools and equipment Class A live fire building Rescue and lighting equipment Portable radios Accountability system Forcible entry tools Apparatus Two separate water sources Hand lines (One 1½ inch [38 mm] or larger charged back-up line, supplied from second water source, with fog nozzle.
