🚨🔥 Size-Up / Simulation Saturdays 🚨🔥 Tabletop discussions with your crew on commercial structure fires.

08/22/2026

73.2% of the reported Maydays in the First 100 Report occurred in residential homes.

That should make us stop and think. Residential fires are where most of us operate all the time, but familiarity can also make us comfortable. Floor systems, basements, lightweight construction, changing layouts, and rapid fire development can all turn a routine residential fire into a firefighter-in-distress event.

The remaining incidents in the report were spread across residential apartment buildings up to four stories, commercial strip malls, and commercial box stores. No high-rise Mayday incidents were represented in that specific data set (this just means that no surveys were submitted for high rises during that period).

That said, since January 1, 2026, we have documented 5 firefighter-in-distress incidents at high-rise fires. High-rise fires account for 2.6% of all documented incidents since January 1, 2026, which is 5 out of 196 incidents. Of those 5 incidents, 1 involved a declared Mayday and 4 did not.

Those are low-frequency, high-risk scenarios that we should still be training for.

What residential or high-rise building feature creates the biggest problem for your crews?

If you or someone you know has been involved in a firefighter-in-distress incident during a structure fire, please complete the Firefighter Mayday Survey.

Not every problem carries the same urgency. Effective officers know how to separate what needs immediate action from what can wait, without losing sight of the bigger picture.

🔥 FIRE OFFICER LEADERSHIP — ACCOUNTABILITY STARTS WITH YOU

Accountability isn’t just tracking firefighters on the fireground. It’s a leadership responsibility every day.

As a fire officer:

Own your decisions — good or bad.
Set clear expectations for your crew.
Hold everyone to the same standard, including yourself.
Address problems early instead of allowing them to become the new normal.
Give credit to your crew and take responsibility when things go wrong.
Follow through on what you say you will do.
Accept feedback and be willing to correct your own performance.

Your crew watches what you do, not just what you say.

🔥 Leadership means being accountable for yourself, your decisions, and the people you are trusted to lead.

Set the standard. Live the standard. Hold the standard.

🔥 BASEMENT FIRE — INITIAL ACTIONS
Basement fires can put crews above the fire and expose them to rapidly deteriorating floor conditions, hidden fire spread, and difficult access.

🚒 Initial Fire Officer Priorities:
➡Establish command and communicate the basement fire conditions.
➡Complete a 360° — identify basement access, windows, walkout doors, utilities, and changing grade.
➡Identify the life hazard and determine the location and survivability of potential occupants.
➡Locate the fire before committing crews — know where crews will be operating in relation to the fire.
➡Get water on the fire early from the safest effective access point.
➡Control the flow path — coordinate entry, ventilation, and fire attack.
➡Evaluate the floor system above the basement for fire involvement and collapse potential.
➡Provide a secondary means of egress and maintain crew accountability.

⚠️ Fire Officer Takeaway:
Avoid unknowingly placing firefighters over an uncontrolled basement fire. Read the building, identify the fire location, and continually evaluate structural stability.
Know where the fire is. Know where your crews are. Control the risk.

🔥 2-STORY STRIP MALL FIRE — SAFETY CONCERNS
Heavy fire in a strip mall can quickly create conditions that put crews at significant risk.

⚠️ Key Safety Concerns:
✅Early structural collapse — especially lightweight roofs, floors, parapets, and compromised structural members.
✅Rapid horizontal fire spread through cocklofts, common attics, concealed spaces, and interconnected occupancies.
✅Roof operations — fire beneath crews, weakened decking, HVAC units, skylights, and limited escape routes.
✅High fire loads from storage, merchandise, plastics, furnishings, and unknown commercial contents.
✅Utilities — electrical service, solar systems, natural gas, rooftop equipment, and energized signage.
✅Changing fire conditions — continuously evaluate smoke, fire location, structural stability, and interior tenability.
✅Collapse zones — keep personnel and apparatus away from parapets, walls, awnings, signs, and compromised structural components.
✅Accountability and egress — maintain crew integrity, identify secondary exits, and avoid crews operating beyond their air or escape options.

Fire Officer Takeaway:
🔥 Continually balance risk versus benefit. When conditions change, your strategy and tactics must change with them.

Assessment Center Tip: Prepare for the Position, Not Just the Test
🚒 The most successful candidates don't prepare to pass the assessment center—they prepare to become the fire officer.
Focus your preparation on how you would lead a crew, solve problems, communicate under pressure, and make sound decisions. When you consistently demonstrate the knowledge, leadership, and professionalism expected of the position, the assessment center becomes an opportunity to showcase those abilities.

Prepare for the position, and you'll be prepared for the test.
