When responding to, or preparing to respond to a fire disaster, the initial step that one takes must have the objective of controlling the fire disaster. You have to get the fire disaster under control to reduce the adverse effects of the fire as well as secure the scene under a controllable or manageable condition. Controlling the fire entails putting it off to reduce the probability of further damages and reduce the risk of a continued or extended disaster situation. It is also important to ensure human safety for the people inside and around the scene.
