If an engine company or two in your department got dispatched to a tractor-trailer fire and the comment are, driver is out and reports all he’s carrying is fertilizer, would that cause you any concern?


What is running through your mind as far as size up?


What information would you like to obtain?


Why is each piece of information important to you?


How are we approaching this fire?


At what point is this a no-go?


Change the surroundings to make it less plausible to be a non-intervention event?
