Both exterior and interior attacks need to be adapted according to whether there are trapped persons, which we will discuss in the next step, but the first step is to open the door.
How to open the door is crucial for firefighters to enter the fire scene. Even if it means entering through a window or by breaking through the top, firefighters must reach the door first to provide an entryway for their teammates' equipment and hose.
I won't go into breaking down the door; that's a practical operation.
I will only discuss what information exists in a door at a fire scene and what you should do in front of a door.
First, the temperature at the fire scene.
To assess whether the fire has reached the area near the door, first use gloves to feel for it. Additionally, if the fire is intense, you will feel it when your body is close.
If there is no sensation, you may use the back of your hand to test for heat. Remember, the back of your hand will naturally retract when stimulated.
