excerpt
MYTH: Firefighters can easily see and communicate inside a burning
building. It goes without saying that movies and television shows
don't always portray how something happens in real life, and that is
certainly the case when it comes to depicting the conditions inside a
structural fire. Sometimes, for instance, TV shows and movies will
depict firefighters easily seeing and communicating with each other
when they're inside a structure fire, but that is not the reality.
FACT: Firefighters are not able to easily see and communicate inside a
burning building.
Structure fires can reach temperatures up to 1,100 degrees F (590
degrees C) and create smoke that can significantly reduce and even
eliminate any visibility within the structure. Visibility is such a
concern inside structure fires that NASA is working on
location-tracking services for firefighters should they experience an
emergency and need to be rescued.
Because of this, NFPA1001, Standard for Fire Fighter Professional
Qualifications-which is being consolidated into the new NFPA 1010,
Standard far Firefighter, Fire Apparatus Driver/ Operator, Airport
Firefighter, and Marine Firefightingfor Land-Based Firefighters
Professional Qualifications- requires that firefighters be able to
perform all of their interior operations, including search and rescue,
under obscured vision conditions.
