Typically these would be the actions by first attending crews usually during the reconnaissance and assessment phase of an incident. They are interventions that will immediately and decisively control the incident with no risk to the Fire fighters. These incidents will be very small, confined fires (e.g. small waste bins, overheated food etc) or fires that are 'out on arrival'
They require very limited intervention by the FRS and are not associated with BA deployment or the use of Main hose lines.
As fast and accurate risk assessment and well informed Professional Discretion by those intending to use Zero line interventions will be the key to a successful outcome.
If any doubt exists over the safety or suitability of this deployment then crews are to immediatly evacuate the flat and close all doors behind them. They must then reassess the situstion and choose a more appropriate tactic.
