Completing a full scene assessment upon arrival at an incident can significantly lower the overall risks, as well allow for a more effective response. Reading Fire supports frontline practitioners in gathering information upon arrival at an incident, using the 'BE-SAHF' model of assessment. Using a step-by-step approach, it considers each critical area of the model, from building, construction and environmental factors, to understanding and reading smoke, airflow, heat and flames. It explores each of these areas in depth and considers the evidence that needs to be analysed in order to formulate an effective tactical plan.
