Ways to reduce the life hazard include |
removing all of the victims, venting to draw the fire away from the victims, and confining the fire to an isolated area. Often the best way is to put out the fire. |

At times is best to confine rather than focus on protecting exposures. The spread of fire within a building is usually faster than at which the rate of the fire spreads to an exposed structure. If a large area of a building or area is already heavily involved and is threatening another structure, it is reasonable to protect the exposed building first. |
