Serious damages because of a fire incident can roughly be attributed to three factors
• Late discovery of fire
• Improper use of equipment and techniques
• Rapid development of fire
Early discovery of a fire incident is largely based on the good condition of all fire warning systems, alarms, etc.
Proper use of fire fighting equipment and techniques is of outmost importance. The only way to enhance it is through exhaustive and continuous and realistic training. In that sense, the HOT training in the fire fighting simulator is ideal
Rapid development of fire is another crucial factor that increases damage and potentially casualties. Although no two fire incidents evolve in the same way, one thing is certain. The faster the reaction, the best chances there are to successfully extinguish a fire diminishing damage as much as possible

One important thing to keep in mind is that fire usually spread fast when the effort to extinguish them stops. Therefore, it is of outmost importance for the fire fighting effort to be offensive and continuous, from the moment of discovery and there after.
In practice, this means that the people discovering the fire, after having ensured that information about the fire has been passed on, need to stay on the scene. What they need to do is:
• Try to extinguish the fire (not always possible). Have in mind that the first moments after ignition provide the best opportunity for putting pot a fire.
• If situation deteriorates, they need to retreat and continue the fire fighting effort, trying to limit the fire and smoke, if possible without closing the door or manhole and isolate the area.
Obviously, since they are not equipped with fire fighting equipment, from one point on they will have to isolate the compartment. At that point they need to make preparations that will facilitate the work of the fire fighting party (i.e. prepare hoses, etc) and wait to provide the initial report to the scene leader.continuous effort
