To combat some of these risks, firefighters carry self-contained breathing apparatus. Additional hazards include falls \u2013 a constant peril while navigating unfamiliar layouts or confined spaces amid shifting debris under limited visibility \u2013 and structural collapse that can exacerbate the problems encountered in a toxic environment.<\/p><p>The first step in a firefighting operation is reconnaissance to search for the location of the fire and to identify the specific risks. Fires can be extinguished by water, fuel or oxidant removal, or chemical flame inhibition; though, because fires are classified depending on the elements involved, such as grease, paper, electrical, etcetera, a specific type of fire extinguisher may be required. The classification is based on the type of fires that the extinguisher is more suitable for. In the United States, the types of fire are described by the National Fire Protection Association.<\/p><p><strong>Firefighter skills<\/strong><\/p><p>A firefighter doing a ladder slide, which is used to quickly escape from a window<br \/>Firefighting requires technical proficiency of operational tactics, equipment, and scene awareness.
