Hazard
Calls from or about persons at risk
Hazard Knowledge
The fire control room will receive calls from or about persons at risk. There may be a threat to life due to incidents including:
- Fires in buildings, including tall buildings
- Flooding
- Building or structure collapse
- Hazardous materials
- Terrorist activity
A person at risk may either be unable to leave the hazard area because of the incident, injuries sustained, or their physical limitations. Additionally a person at risk may be able but unwilling to leave the hazard area, because they do not want to leave another person, animal or possession.
