Standard Firefighting Orders

The Standard Firefighting Orders are key safety guidelines that help firefighters manage wildfires effectively and stay safe. They include instructions such as keeping alert for changing fire behavior, maintaining clear escape routes, working with a team, knowing weather conditions, and avoiding risky tactics. These rules emphasize caution, communication, and situational awareness to prevent accidents and ensure firefighters can respond effectively to unpredictable fire behavior. Following these orders helps create a structured approach to wildfire suppression, reducing hazards and increasing the chances of safety and success.
