Worcester, MA
• One of the lost teams from Rescue 1 radios command that, “We need air, we need air. I’m sharing a tank off me right now. We are lost…”
• 4 of the 6 firefighters died of “inhalation of smoke, soot, and hot gases.”

When Were We Taught To Leave The Fire Building?
• Recruit training• 30-minute cylinder low-air warning
alarm time• These assumptions are
completely wrong
![Page 7: THE NEED, THE MANDATE, THE SOLUTION](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020320/56816921550346895de050db/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Where Are Most of Our Fires?
• Single-family dwellings or apartment houses
• Common characteristics?
• These fires have dictated how we train to use our SCBAs
![Page 8: THE NEED, THE MANDATE, THE SOLUTION](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020320/56816921550346895de050db/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Commercial Structures, Ships & Large Structures • How do these differ
from residential occupancies?
• Firefighters cannot assume that they can work until their low-air warning alarm activates

Working Into Your Low-Air Warning Alarm
• Has cost some firefighters their lives
• Close Calls are happening every day

Bret Tarver Case Study
• How many of you have buildings like this in your district?
• The fire started as a debris fire outside the building
• Occupied structure – a righteous entry

The Rule Of Air Management
Know how much air you have in your SCBA, and manage that air so that you leave the hazardous environment before your low-air warning alarm activates
The ROAM says:

Firefighters and SCUBA Divers
• What do firefighters in an IDLH environment and SCUBA divers under water have in common?
• SCUBA training
• Dive Masters
• Fire Service applications

Low-Air Warning Alarm
• If you went to a fire right now
• Do you react?
• False alarm mentality kills firefighters
• Working into your low-air warning alarm -- you are betting your life that everything will go right on your way out of the IDLH environment
![Page 31: THE NEED, THE MANDATE, THE SOLUTION](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020320/56816921550346895de050db/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

ROAM
• The Rule of Air Management holds true for any fire building or hazardous atmosphere. Firefighters must follow this rule at all times:
bread-and-butter room fireshouse firesapartment house firescommercial fireshigh rise firesship firesconfined space rescuesat any incident where you are wearing your SCBA
![Page 33: THE NEED, THE MANDATE, THE SOLUTION](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020320/56816921550346895de050db/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
ROAM
• The Rule of Air Management sounds simple, but it takes discipline
• The ROAM is the new, basic firefighting skill

Change = Resistance = Change
• The ROAM has been used by the Dive industry for decades
• Fire Departments in England and Hong Kong are serious about Air Management
• The ROAM may take time to implement in your department
• Train as if you life depends on it
![Page 38: THE NEED, THE MANDATE, THE SOLUTION](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020320/56816921550346895de050db/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Like to Gamble?
• Remember, close calls are happening every day in the US fire service due to the lack of air management
• If you fail to follow the Rule of Air Management and work into your reserve air, working until your low-air alarm activates…
“You are betting your life” that nothing will go wrong on your way out.
