Basic structure fire game plan

where is the fire?

where is the smoke?

which way is the wind blowing?

where is the fire heading?

where is the smoke heading?

where are the victims?

where are the victim heading?

also

for a highrise - top floor is a bad place - neutral plane will decide
if smoke blows in or out of bld

for hospital / nursing home and prisons - victims cannot be evacuated "easily"

for industrial complex - hazards of explosions and large scale
structural collapses and hazmats and large scale fluid releases

for structures under construction - watch out

for modern structures - what fire control features are in place? -
blowers - sprinklers - fire doors - PA system - detectors - etc

yadda yadda
