Cleveland Fire Department Operations Manual 2. Chemicals and other Hazards Firefighters should ascertain, prior to overhaul, what chemicals and flammable liquids are kept in storage areas. Care must be exercised during all firefighting operations in this type of occupancy. Especially during overhaul, attention must be paid to labels on containers and to signs posted in and around the fire structure. Protective clothing is essential for all firefighters engaged in overhaul. Helmets, eye shields, coats, gloves, and boots should be worn for protection from dangerous chemicals. Self-contained breathing apparatus should be worn in hazardous atmospheres; nonpoisonous chemicals can leak, mix, and form poisonous fumes in areas where firefighters do not expect them. Radioactive materials might be stored in some occupancies, their presence not known until the overhaul operation has begun. When such material is discovered, the area should be cleared, and the health department or other government agency responsible for dealing with such materials should be notified. Take readings to determine the intensity of radioactive emissions. Firefighters must be carefully and thoroughly checked. If they have been exposed to excessive radiation, proper medical attention must follow, and their gear and tools must be decontaminated according to standard procedures. 3. Searching for the Cause of Fire One important part of overhaul is the discovery and preservation of evidence of arson. When Truck Company personnel jump into overhaul without checking the fire building for such signs, the evidence might accidentally be thrown out of the building, buried, or washed away. 4. Restoration and Protection When overhaul operations have been completed, the building and its contents should be restored and protected, as much as possible, from the elements and from vandalism. a. The Building Openings in roofs can be covered with salvage covers, tar paper, or plastic, depending of their size.

Cleveland Fire Department Operations Manual b. Furnishings and Stock Items removed from the building during the course of firefighting operations or during overhaul should be returned to the building it possible. If the items must remain outside, place salvage covers over them. When items that are returned to the building could be subjected to damage from dripping water or weather, these items also should be covered. If the building cannot be locked securely, make arrangements for security or for a release of responsibility. Where valuable personal items have been identified, the Cleveland Police or Sheriff’s Department shall be notified to provide security for those items if they cannot be placed in the possession of the owner.
