If a fire occurs and there is heat or smoke damage to an exposed property, should that be reported using an exposure report?
No. A fire resulting from another fire outside that building, structure, or vehicle, or a fire that extends to an outside property from a building, structure, or vehicle is considered an exposure. If the structure only had heat, smoke or damage from suppression activities, then it would not be considered an exposure and would not require an exposure report. The damage would be reported on the base incident (000) report. The persons involved can be reported using Section K1, Person/Entity Involved. Note: Charring is considered to be fire and would require an exposure report. For Example: a) If the building fire ignites a truck parked outside, the truck fire would be considered an exposure fire. B) The truck would not be considered an exposure if it did not burn but only sustained radiant heat damage to the vehicle. The data regarding the vehicle would then be reported as part of the base (000) incident. (Source: www.nfic.org/KnowledgeBase ) We had a rescue call for a person with difficu
