The man with the most…????
Now all of us have seen the show on hoarders but have you ever thought about fighting a fire in one of these “Hoarder Homes”? How will a hoarder home change your normal response to a structure fire? Did you call for an extra alarm or a plus one response? Is their reports of occupant’s trapped? How is this environment going to affect your tactics, will it be possible to rescue occupants that may be trapped? These are all questions that you should be asking yourself before the alarm sounds and you are the first due to a hoarded home. Is there things in the front on the home that may queue you to the contents of the interior? These are all things that we all should be considering before the bell rings………stay tuned for more on “The man with the most”
