This document discusses structure protection tactics for wildland firefighting. It outlines seven structure protection tactical actions including defensive actions taken before, during, and after a fire front arrives, and offensive actions taken to suppress a wildfire before it reaches structures. Both static tactics like anchor and hold where resources remain in place, and dynamic tactics like bump and run where resources are mobile are described. Structure protection involves understanding when different tactics are appropriate based on current and predicted fire behavior.

- 2. S-215 • Select a tactical action and determine if it is offensive or defensive. • List the seven structure protection tactical actions. Unit 6 – Structure Protection Overview Slide 6-2
- 3. S-215 • Structure protection involves an understanding of tactical operations and when and where these tactics are appropriate to the current and predicted fire behavior. • In some instances, your mobility is critical to the task of structure protection. In other situations, structure protection requires maintaining static positions. Unit 6 – Structure Protection Overview Slide 6-3

Editor's Notes
- #8: Poorly defensible house or raging fire
- #9: House that is defensible but heavier fuel loading
- #10: House that is really defensible and has light fuel loading
- #11: Resources overwhelmed with sturcture/ quick prep and git – throwing firewood etc.
- #12: Show a muni engine ticked in on a house
- #13: Firefighters going after the fire in a wui setting
- #14: Aftermath photo
