Call a structural-fire mayday with LUNAR

Reinforce the IFSTA mayday order from firefighter survival training. The mayday and LUNAR go out before self-rescue. PASS and flashlight are separate actions.

  1. Declare “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday” on the tactical channel.
  2. Give LUNAR: location, unit, name, assignment, and resources needed.
  3. Activate PASS.
  4. Turn on the flashlight.
  5. Conserve air.
  6. Attempt the taught self-rescue once the message is out.
  7. Stay on the mayday channel until RIC or command directs otherwise.
  8. Do not delay the mayday to “try one more door” first.
