39 Size Up Size Up –Roof Covering  Tile vs. Shingles  Torch Down  Metal  Synthetic Foam Membrane –Signs of Integrity  Sagging Roof lines –Vents growing  Fire Smoke Venting

40 Getting on the Roof Getting on the Roof –Sound the Roof  Before you step on the roof  Strike the roof with a tool (axe, rubbish hook)  Feel and sound solid  Regularly sound the path you choose and stick to the sounded path.  Scan the roof continuously

41 Working on the Roof Working on the Roof –NEVER cross roof diagonally –Walk on ridges, trusses, outside walls –Work from roof ladders if possible –Work from aerials if possible –Consider safety hoseline (controversial)

42 Open the Roof Open the Roof –BE SAFE ALWAYS –Never cut in line with your body or that of your partner –Work in teams of two minimum –One person cuts, the other backs him up –If you fall and begin to slide, flatten out and your partner will jump on you

43 Open the Roof Open the Roof –Inspection Holes  Helps find direction of trusses  Triangle in shape  1-2 foot per side

44 ALWAYS work on the WINDWARD ALWAYS work on the WINDWARD –(Wind at your back) Don’t get caught down wind – that is where the fire is going Don’t get caught down wind – that is where the fire is going

45 Louver Opening Louver Opening –Fast and Efficient = less time on roof –Must know direction of trusses/rafters –NEVER stand on the hole you are cutting –Always work back to your egress

46 Vertical Ventilation The goal is to get a hole at least 4’ x 8’ The goal is to get a hole at least 4’ x 8’ It can be cut in line with the trusses or perpendicular to the trusses It can be cut in line with the trusses or perpendicular to the trusses If the cut is made perpendicular to the trusses, you have to cross at least three trusses. Three on the top and three on the bottom If the cut is made perpendicular to the trusses, you have to cross at least three trusses. Three on the top and three on the bottom If the cut is made in line with the trusses, you will only have to cross the truss once at the top and one at the bottom If the cut is made in line with the trusses, you will only have to cross the truss once at the top and one at the bottom
