The problem is that firefighters are risking injury or death by engaging in interior offensive fire attacks on vacant buildings the same as occupied/inhabited structures. The purpose of this research is to determine when not to engage in an interior offensive fire attack at vacant buildings which will reduce the risk of firefighter injury or death. Descriptive research was utilized to answer the following questions: a) What defines a vacant building? b) What policies, guidelines or standard operating procedures do the surrounding communities to Rochester Hills have regarding fighting fires at vacant buildings? c) If not for human life, at what point of fire involvement in a structure is it not economically worth the risk of an offensive attack? d) Knowing the risks of firefighting, why do fire departments continue offensive fire attacks in vacant buildings?
