firefighting mnemonics

These are the mnemonics I've come across as a volunteer firefighter. If you know of a variation, or one I haven't posted here, please email me.

2012-12-03: Did I really forget RECEO?! That's the most basic firefighting mnemonic there is!

These are the mnemonics I have:

On arrival: IEAT, TRIPOD

On scene: RECEO

Mayday calls: LUNAR

IEAT	TRIPOD
IEAT & TRIPOD are part of ITAC and are copyrighted by IMS Alliance. These are the phases of incident command. Initiate - by the first unit on scene. Establish - a formal command post and structure. Assume - take over IC from a previous commander. Terminate - end formal command of the incident.	The six different possible primary phases of a fire response. Transitional - making an offensive attack from a defensive position. Rescue - entering to retrive known victims. Investigating - verifying the nature of the emergency. Preparing - putting a plan and resources in place while waiting for additional personnel, eg. waiting to fill two-in, two-out. Offensive - performing an interior attack. Defensive - firefighting from outside the building or collapse zone.

RECEO
Aside from the last two, these are the priorities at a fire scene, in order. Ventilation and Salvage fit in as time and personnel allow. Rescue - Get known victims out! Exposures - Don't let it spread, part 1. Confine - Don't let it spread, part 2. Extinguish - Put it out. Overhaul - Eliminate hot spots and rekindle risk. Ventilate - Get the smoke out. Salvage - Preserve property from fire, smoke, or water damage.

LUNAR
These are the elements of a Mayday call. First, call "Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!" Then, report these points of information: Location - Where are you? Unit - What unit are you with? Name - What is your name? (usually last name) Air - How much do you have left? Reason/Reaction - what happened, and what are you doing about it?
