Post-extinguishing work

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The work of the fire brigade after the actual fire has been fought ("fire out") is called post-extinguishing work . They are part of the fire service. In the course of the post-extinguishing work, in contrast to the previous fire, a reduced number of emergency services and resources are removed, for example, fire debris to clearing out the affected room or building, false ceilings and walls are opened or, in consultation with the police, initial demolition work is carried out and discovered Embers extinguished. Following the extinguishing work, the head of operations can order a fire watch . If the fire watch later detects that the fire has flared up again, the work on extinguishing the fire will resume.
