Cleveland Fire Department Operations Manual Search and Rescue Search and rescue should be performed according to an efficient, well-planned procedure, which has included the safety of search crew personnel. The object of the search effort is to locate possible victims, not create additional ones by neglecting the safety of the search crew. Prior to entering the search area, all search team members should be familiar with a specific search plan, including the overall objective, a designation of the search plan area, individual assignments, etc. This may require a brief conference among crewmembers before entering the search area to develop and communicate the plan. Individual search activities shall be conducted by two or more members. Company Officers must maintain an awareness of the location and function of all members within their crew during search operations. A brief look around the floor below the fire may provide good reference for the search team, as floors in multistory occupancies usually have a similar layout. Whenever a search is conducted that exposes search crews to fire, they should be protected as soon as possible with a charged hose line in order to insure a safe escape route. If search personnel are operating without a hose line, lifelines should be used when encountering conditions of severely limited visibility. Stairway/Elevators A. No fire personnel shall use the elevators during response to a fire alarm or a reported structure fire in a multistory building. B. All personnel shall use the stairways to access floors above and below the entry point in a multistory building. Effective: June 1, 1997 Revised: 5/14/2009 Page | 283 Approved by: Chief Chuck Atchley
