FIREGROUND SAFETY \u00b7 AUSTRALIA<\/p>\n

Before firefighters enter, there is a safety decision to make.<\/h2>\n

Before any interior firefighting decision, crews must weigh life safety, changing fire behaviour, structural risks and their own readiness. Here is what happens behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

Australian fire safety guide \u00b7 Scheduled 1 November 2026 \u00b7 FireRescue Training Hub<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

Emergency advice:<\/strong> If there is a fire in your building, get out, stay out and call Triple Zero (000)<\/strong>. Never enter or re-enter a burning or smoke-filled building. Firefighter entry, rescue and ventilation work is for trained and authorised crews following their organisation\u2019s procedures.<\/div>\n
