The dispatcher activates emergency traffic tones, then announces a collapse where firefighters have been trapped. Command adjusts tactics from suppression to rescue, placing attack lines or elevated streams in the collapse area to protect hydraulicpowerunitsac trapped firefighters from the advancing fire.Prompt rescue of firefighters lost or down in burning buildings is critical. There''s an extremely narrow window of survivability for firefighters out of SCBA air supply or trapped by approaching fire. Normally, rescuers attempt to determine the last known location of the lost firefighters by tracing hose lines, then looking for arms and legs, listening for shouts, taping noises, breathing, moans, radio broadcasts, audible tones from PASS devices, or the sounding of SCBA bells.

Power-to-weight ratio. Ask a tradesperson for an opinion about a power tool and you''re likely to hear how powerful it is for its weight. Most of us want as much power as we can get for the weight we carry. It''s easy to feel the difference between the most powerful and the least powerful drills, but it''s harder to judge power in relation to weight. I calculated power-to-weight ratios by dividing each tool''s torque rating by its weight. That allowed me to compare drills on the basis of inch-pounds of torque per pound of weight. I used the manufacturer''s torque specs but weighed the tools myself.
