Another scenario in which situational awareness is important on the fire ground is what’s say you responded to a call of a structure fire. Then while on the call you see the fire spreading into the walls or structural supports. This is important to be aware of as it could cause the building to become structurally unstable and eventually collapse. If you see that then notify other firefighters about what you saw and then they should immediately evacuate the building and order firefighters to evacuate the building and do a defensive attack on the fire
