STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE COLLEGE STATION FIRE DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: Rapid Intervention Teams (RIT) SOP: 300.1.11 CATEGORY: Operating Procedures PAGE: 1 of 5 APPROVED BY: E-Signed by David K. Giordano VERIFY authenticity with ApproveIt Chief, Fire Department DATE: 12/02 Purpose To establish methods and procedures for providing for rapid intervention of situations that pose danger to Fire Department personnel from entrapment or from becoming lost. This procedure identifies the requirements for the operation of Rapid Intervention Teams (RIT). Required Use of RIT This procedure shall be implemented at all “working” structure fires beyond the incipient stage and other incidents where Fire Department personnel are subject to special hazards that would be immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) in the event of equipment failure, sudden change of conditions, or mishap. Examples of special hazards include, but are not limited to: • Offensive Fire Operations (assumed to be IDLH) • Hazardous Materials Incidents (IDLH, potential IDLH, or unknown atmosphere) • Trench Rescue • Confined Space Rescue (assumed to be IDLH) • Any other incident having significant risk Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) The RIT is a team of firefighters consisting of a minimum of two operations personnel. RIT shall be fully equipped with the appropriate protective clothing, protective equipment, SCBA (with PASS devise) and any specialized equipment that might be needed given the specifics of the operation underway. The third due/arriving Engine (does not include CSFD ladder) on all reported structure fires is recommended to provide personnel for RIT. This may be changed if Incident Commander has previously established a RIT.
SUBJECT: Rapid Intervention Teams POLICY: 300.1.11 CATEGORY: Operations PAGE: 2 of 4 Instructions/Procedures Incident Command Shall: a. Designate a RIT as soon as sufficient personnel are on the scene to provide an initial attack and he/she determines a potential hazard exists for Fire Department personnel operating at the scene. b. Continue to evaluate the situation and the risk to personnel and shall provide for one or more RITs as dictated by the incident or situation. c. Maintain a minimum of one RIT in position at designated area until Command determines the situation has been stabilized and the need for rapid intervention no longer exists. Should the need arise, Command may reassign RITs to other duties on the fire-ground, but reassignment shall not occur unless Command has provided for another non-fatigued company to replace the original RIT. d. Designate multiple RITs for incidents that cover large geographic areas. At high-rise incidents, it may be necessary for Command to assign a RIT to the Staging/Resource sector inside the structure. e. Whenever RIT is deployed it should be replaced as soon as possible to back up the crews involved in a rescue operation. f. RITs can be used for appropriate assignments after all crews are out of danger, PARs have been obtained, and an IDLH atmosphere no longer exists. Command may assign this company as a relief unit and rotate them with interior companies. Rapid Intervention Teams shall: a. Be designated by Command and shall assemble with full protective gear, including SCBA, rescue equipment (axe, haligan tool, hand lights, Thermal Imager, lifeline, extra air bottles and equalization hose, etc.), and other related equipment at a position in the immediate proximity of the fire personnel entry point. RIT shall remain in visual or verbal contact (via radio) with Command at all times while awaiting assignment. b. Upon assignment of RIT responsibilities, the RIT leader should obtain a detailed briefing from the Incident Commander or the RIT they are relieving on the status and location of all assigned companies. c. The RIT officer shall monitor and maintain radio communications with the IC and/or fire crews as needed. d. Begin a visual size-up of the building and any endangered exposures and available escape routes. In some situations hose-lines may need to be pre-deployed. RIT companies should assess the need for other access points to provide for egress, rescue, and ventilation. Forcible entry may be necessary. When companies are operating on floors above ground, the RIT should consider prepositioning ground ladders to allow for emergency egress and rescue.
