Advanced Search Operations

Advanced firefighter search techniques focus on rapid, methodical searches, prioritizing victim rescue in hazardous environments. Key techniques include VEIS (Vent-Enter-Isolate-Search), oriented searches, and searching with a water can. These methods are employed to efficiently locate victims, assess hazards, and facilitate safe removal, often in challenging conditions like low visibility and high heat.
