RecordOn Scene Leader
The on-scene leader is the person in charge at the scene. When a fire is “called away,” the scene leader will proceed immediately to the scene equipped with protective gloves and anti flash hood, ready to assume control of the fire party.
The scene leader should have a deep knowledge of the vessel environment and fire fighting principles, techniques and practices.
In a fire incident he should position himself where best able to control the situation
• As safe as possible
• As close to the incident as possibleon scene leader

The basic duties of on scene leader are:
• Establish communications with FF Leader and Damage Control Center (DCC) using best means available.
• Immediately, assess the extent of fire.
• Determine the firefighting agent to be used and the method and direction of attack.
• Set smoke boundaries to prevent smoke dissemination
• Oversee hose connections and operation (required hose length, type of nozzle and adjustment)
• Prepare the attack teams before entering the burning compartment
• Debrief the attack teams, after exiting the burning compartment and report appropriately
• Coordinate smoke control and desmoking operations

The 1st assault team comprises of two people equipped with protective gloves and anti flash hood.
They should reach the incident area and start fire fighting with portable extinguishers at first. The idea is to start the fire fighting effort as soon as possible
So, the 1st person attacks the fire with extinguishers and the 2nd connects a water hose
Normally cannot remain in an area with smoke for more than 2 minutes. They will be replaced by the 2nd assault team.

The team leader, directs the efforts of attack teams to extinguish a fire. They must know the layout of the affected space, and be aware of any hazards.
They will direct personnel inside the burning compartment, while using the Naval Firefighter’s Thermal Imager (NFTI) (if available). Conditions within the space will include reduced visibility, limited or no lighting, and often smoke or steam. The team leader should direct nozzlemen and hosemen around hazards, following specific routes to reach the source of the fire.
Once the fire is extinguished, they will use the NFTI to observe for hot spots and to complete overhaul of the space.
They will relay reports of conditions by word of mouth to the on-scene leader.3rd assault team analysis – team leader

The Peripheral Cooling team will be equipped with antiflash hood and gloves but may even wear full firefighting suits if necessary. They may also carry special equipment such as axes, wire cutters etc.
The team has the following responsibilities
• Search nearby neighboring areas to the burning compartment
The idea here is to notify for potential dangers such as flammable or explosive materials, or electrical and electronic devices that may create new fire sources, or may be affected by the fire fighting effort
• Prepare the neighboring areas
Remove potential flammable or explosive material, remove insulation, and perform electrical isolation to electrical and electronic equipment

• Peripheral Cooling
Maybe the most important task of the fire containment team is peripheral cooling. It has to do with cooling compartments adjacent to the fire to prevent fire spreading through convection. The primary target for cooling are the compartments directly above the fire, since fire tends to spread upwards more easily. Another important practice is to use as less water as possible, in order to avoid affecting ship’s stability. fire containment – peripheral cooling team
