100% truth!
The most important tool we have to improve our search is sight. And the fastest way to get our sight back is ventilation.
We should be taking windows early and often in low or zero visibility—before knockdown when we can isolate, or right after knockdown if we can’t. Stop grinding through long searches in blind conditions inside residential homes. If you’re in an isolatable room and still working in zero visibility, you’re not giving that family the best chance.
Vent early. Vent with purpose. And give yourself the ability to actually see the people you’re there to find.
