What is the main tactical action associated with a "Threatened Non-Defensible" status?

The main tactical action associated with a "Threatened Non-Defensible" status is to "Check and Go." This approach is designed for situations where the conditions have escalated to a point where it is no longer safe to hold a defensive position.

In a "Threatened Non-Defensible" scenario, resources are typically strained, and the risk to personnel outweighs the potential for successfully defending a location. The "Check and Go" tactic emphasizes the importance of assessing the situation quickly and making the decision to withdraw to a safer area if the threat level is too high. It is a proactive measure that aims to ensure the safety of firefighters by avoiding entrapment and focusing on regrouping and reassessing for alternative strategies.

Utilizing this tactic allows personnel to avoid being caught in a rapidly changing fire environment, making it imperative to prioritize safety and implement efficient retreat strategies to regroup for future actions. This contrasts with more defensive tactics that may not be practical in circumstances where safety cannot be assured.
