When should the Fire Brigade attempt to control a fire themselves?

The situation in which the Fire Brigade should attempt to control a fire themselves is when the fire is small and not personally threatening. In such cases, the Fire Brigade is trained to assess the situation and determine if they can safely manage the fire without endangering themselves or others. A manageable fire can often be extinguished quickly, preventing further escalation and potential harm to the building and its occupants.

This action is framed within the context of safety protocols; the priority in any fire situation is to ensure that human lives are protected first and foremost. If a fire is small and does not pose an immediate threat to life, it creates an opportunity for trained personnel to act decisively. They can do so while still being prepared to evacuate or call in professional firefighters if the situation begins to change.

Thus, taking action in the case of a small fire aligns with the principles of fire safety, focusing on controlled response measures to safeguard everyone involved while using their judgement on the severity of the incident.
