Lessons Learned

Entrapment Reaction

Fire supervisors should be encouraged to run entrapment drills frequently and without warning.
Entrapment drills should test firefighters' abilities to recognize and acknowledge entrapment.
Drills that include more than one firefighter should require trainees to designate a person in charge. The person in charge, with the assistance of others, will select the best course of action.
