Were there any equipment failures? None reported Slide 23 Slide 24 Slide 25 Slide 26 Slide 27 Sparks from a grinding operation made entry into a filter system that caused the filters to catch on fire. Slide 28 A comprehensive pre-fire plan for the building and its suppression system would have been very beneficial. Discontinue stealth mode responses. Staff each station with a Captain, PM, & FF and only send one EMS unit to BLS emergencies. Grid was not correct with SNOCOM. Definitive direction for the basing of apparatus and the location of staging. Especially applicable because of multi-jurisdictional response. Pre-fire plan would have been very beneficial to us for RIT.
