“谁移动了我的霍斯线？”不是一些俗气的消防商业书籍的标题，而是对火场期望的探索。为了使消防员甚至在火场上略有操作，最初的霍斯线放置必须基于出口保护或灭火。您的消防员使用什么熄灭平台？您的公民从中受益吗？
Fire extinguishment is the penultimate goal of an egress-based handline. For many fire departments, egress protection is the first hoseline-placement priority. Many incident commanders do not realize which hoseline-placement theory they use or why. When hoselines are not protecting the egress path because they were moved to remote interior or exterior locations, we have now created a delay in egress protection. The abandonment of egress protection through alternative hoseline placement is a very serious consideration and must affirm a viable life safety and extinguishment strategy.
基于灭火的处理最初与出口保护无关。
螺旋线伸展到火区的边缘，并决定下一个位置，通常是内部。霍斯利线在运行运行所需的时间之外的时间至少等于或大于最终灭绝的延迟。如果我们加入此组合，则在Hoseline指导或受Hoseline保护的搜索中的额外延迟，那么我们将通过等待该线路的最终回报率在建筑物进入之前，将有很多人闲着。在上述所塞的内部，大多数火灾的最终熄灭才能完成。被困的平民很难成功拯救他们对我们隐藏的时间越长，因为我们仍然在外面。
尽管一些替代hoseline placements occur in structural firefighting, the transition away from direct egress protection must be carefully considered. Although exterior fire knockback may be accomplished quickly, it only provides a portion of the extinguishment matrix. Is there a difference between fire knockback and fire knockdown? Yes, they are similar but distinct approaches to partial extinguishment. Fire knockback is done from the building’s exterior as a blitz or limiting tactic. Fire knockdown is done from the interior of the building and is more thorough because firefighters exist within the space. Fire knockback, operating a hoseline from the exterior into the interior without having direct access into that space, limits our ability to fully extinguish the fire. Fire knockdown is accomplished from the interior, where we are able to evaluate what remains of the fire, where it originated, its damage, and its extension to other areas. The seat of the fire is almost always accessible from the interior. Fire knockback must be supplemented by interior operations and may require two separate handlines.
选择一个外部击退策略使我想起了一个古老的问题：“您要救援还是伸展手工组织？”我们需要了解，如果还需要救援时，如果外部击退将用作初始攻击姿势，那么选择外击击后通常会延迟救援。直接的处理方式进入和内部敲低的出口保护使工作人员可以就在那里并搬进去以完全扑灭，或者将足够的水添加到邻近的空间中，以获得击倒，然后再进入原产地，这是从外部看不见的。内部处理方法的存在为脐带提供了额外的消防员，以便进入救援功能的结构。
Deciding on hoseline placement is arguably the most important tactical decision you can make on the fireground where seconds actually do count. Are your hoselines placed for egress protection or extinguishment? Let’s say we have a basement fire and the hoseline enters the home’s main level. You can choose to take it down the interior stairs to fight the fire or have it remain above the fire; both placements put egress protection first. If we take that same line in at the basement level and attack the fire, that line is performing extinguishment first.
尽管将大火扑灭在火场上的安全性，但一定是完全extinguished, and that typically requires interior operations. Exterior knockback, while putting water on the fire and necessary under certain conditions, may be flipping your hoseline priorities. The decisions made on the fireground can taste sweet or be eternally bitter. Using an exterior knockback strategy as your primary focus is no more impressive than believing interior handline operations that safeguard egress and provide direct extinguishment are too risky for firefighters to perform safely. Make sure your hoseline is providing tactical safety for your firefighters and the civilians we swore to protect.
