The goal of the Structure Defense Tactical Action that follows the front is to search for victims, effect perimeter control, extinguish spot fires around structures, control hot spots, and reduce ember production. Which action is this?

• A. Fire Front Following
• B. Bump and Run
• C. Anchor and Hold
• D. Take Cover

Answer: (A)

After the fire front has passed, the focus shifts to life-safety and protecting the structure by cleaning up and securing the area. This means searching for victims, establishing and maintaining a perimeter, extinguishing spot fires around structures, cooling hot spots, and reducing ember production to prevent reignition. This combination of actions describes Fire Front Following, because it centers on recovery, safety checks, and immediate post-front mitigation to keep occupants safe and the structure defended. Other tactics are more about actions taken while the fire front is still active or advancing, such as quick interior- or exterior-attack maneuvers or holding a fixed point, rather than the post-front search and ember-reduction work described here.
