These incidents may present significant management, logistical, and safety challenges to emergency personnel. The size and complexity of the interior spaces; limited, sometimes arduous access; extended travel and response times; and the concentrated occupant load with egress challenges, all contribute to the problems faced by emergency responders. Additionally, most high-rise structures are equipped with various environmental, fire protection, and life-safety systems that require support and control. Successful emergency operations in these types of buildings also require preplanning and technical competence on the part of the emergency responders. Topics include identifying critical factors and hazards, identifying construction and fire-protection features, response roles and responsibilities, development and multi- division/group response roles and responsibilities, development and multi-branch response roles and responsibilities, and assessing and using fire and life-safety systems. Pass/No Pass only.
