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