What is the main focus of Tactical Patrol?

The main focus of Tactical Patrol is to monitor and extinguish hot spots in an area that has already burned. Tactical Patrol involves close observation of the fire-affected areas to identify any remaining heat sources or smoldering embers that could reignite and pose a danger. This practice is crucial for ensuring that the fire does not spread again and that the risk to surrounding structures and communities is minimized.

Monitoring involves not only detecting these hot spots but also assessing the potential for flare-ups, which could escalate the situation and require further firefighting resources. By effectively managing these remnants of the fire, Tactical Patrol helps secure the area and supports the overall firefighting strategy by allowing resources to be allocated more effectively and maximizing safety for residents and firefighters alike.
